Went here for an evening conference, fableous looking hotel located right next to the Mourne mountains. It's 5 * and looks the part, ample parking, friendly staff. As it was business I did not sample food or drink or any of the amenities at the hotel
Great place to go all year round but loved the events and decorations they had for Christmas, great bar service,will differently return.
Lovely hotel in a perfect location. Food, spa facilities & staff all lovely. Recommended!
Calm relaxed atmosphere. Friendly staff. Delicious Sunday lunch
Very welcoming and friendly service The views are wonderful
Visited the lighthouse bar for afternoon lunch. Lovely room with nice views of the beach if you're lucky enough to get a window seat. Staff are friendly and tentative.
Nice hotel, good location, good service. Sometimes a little rough around the edges though, not perfect...
Really nice hotel in a great location. Views are amazing . Staff are great and couldnt do enough
Absolutely fabulous, the staff were extremely friendly and Andrea at reception was more than good when my mother needed to switch rooms for access reasons. We were served in the morning by a lovely girl who mentioned she had just started and she was great too. The facilities are top notch, and the spa was lovely for its treatments. The view we had was beyond compare as we had the front view of the beach and sea so I couldn't fault it!! Would definitely recommend slieve donard
Visited for food yesterday and as always had a lovely late afternoon. Fairly pricey but to be expected. A special thanks to Nell who served us in the bar. She was so helpful, friendly and went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our visit. A real asset to this hotel.

Nice enough hotel just let itself down with a few things. Like only 3 bottles of water and 3 towels in room when we had a party of 4. Then there was the wait for breakfast I understand they were busy but to wait over an hour with kids and then be told it was because they decided to add some random person to our table just is not acceptable. Definitely would not stay again.
Amazing hotel. My sisters wedding was here in 2012. Great scenery
Just spent a wonderful 2 nights. The room was very comfortable. Staff were incredibly friendly and courteous. Dinners and breakfasts enjoyable. Scenery is beautiful.
Only cons I can list is a few areas are in need of repair. Examples: Bedroom window sill (314) and ceiling in pool area have paint pealing off. These take away the beauty of the hotel.
Love Hastings Hotels. Keeping the duck collection growing.
Lovely building, grounds and views. Welcoming staff.
Beautiful location, with spectacular panoramic views & excellent service - hard to beat !
Grand hotel in a beautiful setting between the sea and a mountain. Even better when the sun comes out! Large rooms, good service, good food and drinks.
Wonderful experience. Great room with outstanding view of the sea and the mountains. Very friendly and helpful staff. Meals delicious. Spa facilities excellent. Highly recommended.
Lovely experience even with the restrictions. Great staff team. Nothing was a bother.
Great stay recently. Felt very safe in a "Covid-World". Staff all super friendly. Food was good, room was lovely with a stunning view of mountains and sea.
Lovely stay with great lunch & evening music entertainment, friendly staff. Fab pool with amazing views. Facilities for all age groups and great local pubs/restaurants avail within walking distance. Will def return.
Lighthouse cafe too cold to sit in. Now in Charlie Chaplin bar. All nicely decorated for Christmas.
brilliant spot staff where so friendly would stay here again
Bright spacious bedrooms , wide corridors , pleasant , helpful staff but following a very poor breakfast , with the oddest scrambled eggs I have ever seen or tasted , didn't bother to eat there again .
Beautiful views from the dining room however , which compensated somewhat , for tea and cold toast.
The Drawing Room was bland , grey ( very grey ) with little or no thought given to the decor of what could / should have been a beautiful room .
The small museum outlining the origins of the hotel's background was interesting and attractive.
Always love nipping in here for a coffee, lovely staff,well at least anyone who has served us has been excellent.
Best hotel in Ireland. Spectacular location with miles of beautiful sandy beach out front, and behind the magnificent Mourne mountains. Beautiful victorian building. Luxurious inside with numerous different sitting areas. Massive spa area with pool and jacuzzi looking out on beach sea and Mourne Mountains. Staff so friendly and helpful. Food is fantastic, with a great wine list. Good for gluten free. Rooms are first rate. Royal County Down Golf Club next door.
Beautiful hotel. We were upgraded on arrival to a large room. Rooms are well provisioned with toiletries, bathrobes, slippers and biscuits with the tea station! Breakfast was great - lots of choice and all fresh. Some foods had info labels with them, explaining their origin, which I thought was a nice touch for foreign guests. We didn't try the spa this time around, but would definitely stay again.
Just love it. Love the atmosphere specially round Christmas.
Lovely location with great scenery. Excellent food, good service
Just had another lovely stay at the slieve Donard. Such Beautiful food and comfortable surroundings. We love this grand hotel, the staff are wonderful and can't do enough for you. Thankyou! to everyone for making our anniversary so special.See you in the near future.
Great service, great food and great quality in everything they do.
What a wonderful resort and staff. An oasis on a golf.trip with wonderful spa before and after golf at Royal County Downs
What a wonderful peice of Northern Irish history! Very disappointing that the railway that created this amazing hotel and all of its stories is no longer an operational station, now an Aldi of all things completely inappropriate! Still worth a visit to give you a taste of what the town of Newcastle can offer the tourist travelling through the suburbs surrounding Belfast and how they are still able.to create a seaside environment worthy of the 60's & 70's eras that are no longer with us. Well done, definately a day to remember!
fantastic friendly and helpful staff left feeling so relaxed best experience ever
A great escape, I love the way the staff make you feel like a VIP regardless of the time of day or night.. beautiful scenery and superb facilities..
relaxing room with comfy bed, love the people here the service and very entertaining.
Beautiful hotel with a great history. Stunning views of the Mourne Mountains and the Irish sea.
Great hotel for a family get together. The most comfortable hotel bed I've ever slept in! Very helpful pleasant staff.

Over priced pints in plastic glasses that tasted off
Great Hotel ,we ate in the Percy French ,food was lovely
A lovely place to have a treat on the spa, at the restaurant. Only problem was the table on which we had our scone which had not been cleaned before we it was brought to us.
Pure luxury ,relaxing, friendly staff fantastic great room with a view highly recommend

Fabulous old but beautiful hotel. Fabulous service. Fabulous food.

Loved it. Hope to return someday.
We stayed here on the first night of our honeymoon, after enjoying our stay at the Europa Hotel.
Upon arrival, the staff already new who we were (Europa staff kindly advised Slieve Donard staff), so myself and my wife felt like we were celebrities.
Everything about our stay was perfect. The Duty Manager at the time took great care of us, making sure we were well looked after.
The room was beautiful and the breakfast was dangerously tasty.
Great atmosphere and good food with excellent service.
Poor menu, poor portion and presentation for the price. Staff service was great. Family get together and very disappointed, will not go back in a hurry
Very welcoming staff. Precautions in place for Covid. Felt very safe. Very helpful and friendly staff who made myself and my husband feel at home. Highly recommend!
Fantastic bar with a friendly atmosphere. Staff know what they are doing and very helpful. Not too expensive for the great service received.
Tremendous support and help from super staff while at our son's wedding. No better setting for such an event. Thank you one and all!!!
