The Slieve Donard is a grand hotel that has been lovingly restored and refurbished. The check-in process was quick and easy and the staff were very friendly. The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. There was a bit too much furniture in the room - quite cluttered with extra chairs which we didn’t need. The dining options in the restaurants were excellent and Shelby was friendly and welcoming. The musing in the Wolf bar needs some attention though - sounds like lift music! The spa area was lovely. Would recommend/return.

No guest access to adult only thermal suite.
We were checking out hotels with spa services for a future trip. We enjoy thermal suites during our stays. We had just booked a massage the day before at the previous accomodation so we were looking forward to using the thermal suite at Slieve Donard. Unfortunately they don't mention, without a spa appointment you only have access to the community facilities. Usually places we stay allow guests access to the adult only facilities. The community area is nice, but not at all relaxing. I wish we would have known. Not sure we will stay again as it is a bit out of the way.

Having stayed here for our Covid honeymoon, we were really looking forward to returning to celebrate my birthday. This is our first visit since the hotel had been bought over and renovated - it is absolutely beautiful. The staff on reception and in the spa were great, but we were really let down by the staff during breakfast service. I think we asked about 3 different people for toast and coffee. We found the hot food options at the buffet greasy and hard from sitting too long on the heaters.

Decent hotel but not 5 star. Breakfast is a low 3 star, facilities a good 4. Staff are amazing, however very over worked at breakfast. My room cost nearly £400 and I'll not be returning again.

Pleasant short break
We stayed 2 nights and this was our first visit since the hotel was renovated. The room we were allocated was 452 and unfortunately with it being at the very top of the hotel it was really noisy during the night when a storm started. We had to move rooms in the middle of the night to get to sleep - the staff were very helpful and accommodated us but we lost a lot of sleep. Breakfast was lovely and a lot calmer than it slides to be! I would suggest that the rooms need more storage for clothes as there are no drawers at all and also the room layout is strange as the TV isn’t portioned where you could watch it from either the seats or the bed. Just small suggestions that would help make it more comfortable.

Summer Family Time
Trip was outstanding from the moment we arrived at the Slieve Donard. Staff were very helpful and always on hand with assistance. Spa and swimming pool facilities were state of the art with pool being perfect for toddler. Decor of hotel was one of a kind with our room decor being first class. Bed was excellent however pillows were a little to soft however that’s only minimal in the whole hotel experience.

Amazing Hotel
We had a wonderful stay at the Slieve Donard. Great location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere with the mountains of Mourne as your view., We encountered the friendliest and most helpful receptionist ever, she was lovely and made a great first impression of the hotel. Amazing staff all round. Everything about the hotel was exceptional. It was clean, stylish, and elegant with excellent service. Food was very good at Breakfast although the hotel was full, plenty of room in the breakfast room. Room 328 was amazing with sea and mountain views from your bed what more could you ask for when on holiday. The Spa was spotless and again the staffs were very attentive, what an experience watching the Sea from the Jacuzzi. We were extremely pleased with our stay. I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.
