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.

Service good but condition of room was not 5*
The service was good but overall condition of the room and hallway was not what you would expect for a 5*. We had a coffee stain on corner of TV unit and multiple cobwebs on ceiling. There was also a random bit of masking tape hanging from our curtain. The hallway around the lift needed a good hoover the entire time we were there. The room was dark with a lot of notable paint chips. Breakfast was nice and staff at restaurant and reception were attentive but general condition let the hotel down.
