The Glendevon Hotel

Welcome was good and check in was quick. We were shown to our room which was a little smaller than i expected, but it was functional. Bathroom was large. Breakfast on day 1 was an issue as the single person on shift seemed to be cooking and serving, but could not get the gas to light which had clearly flustered her. To be fair she made the best of a bad job. The only real problem i had was the entry door to the hotel area which slammed closed every time it was used. Our room rattled like the set of Crossroads at 6am, which i assume was when staff were arriving for work. Get this fixed and it would have been 4* across the board

Staff were very friendly Noisy at night from the bar and the music but especially at finishing time when they closed up (noise from the street) - ear plugs recommended

Check-in was easy but the hotel couldn't establish if I had pre-paid for breakfast. I offered to pay again on the understanding that I would be refunded if I had pre-paid; for the record my e-mail indicated it was, but their on-screen display indicated it was not.

Tired looking place, no wardrobe/ hanging space, tiny rooms

I don't think I've seen such a badly managed bar in my 40+ years of drinking. Arrived before 6pm on a Saturday. My first choice of beer was unavailable - they had run out. I got one pint of my second choice before it too run out. Had to send 2 consecutive glasses of spirits back as the glasses were hot, straight from the dishwasher. Had to ask the bar staff to serve me instead of emptying the dishwasher. He could see me standing there but chose to ignore me - lack of training. The food is paid for separately as it is a franchise and was really good but when we asked for the bill we were also presented with a drinks bill, despite having ordered and paid for our drinks at the bar.

DO NOT VISIT. Appalling behaviour displayed by the "owner"/ manager - 30's, stubble, short hair, tatood, We (party of 7) booked a table for 18.15. Arrived early and from the off experienced rude and abrupt behaviour by the bar manager/ owner. Gone to the bar side as we were there to have drinks only anyways to start with. Thought it may have been a one off until the rest of our party arrived and expressed the same treatment by the same person. We were shown where to sit by the staff which we have then he was being rude to his staff telling that poor blonde waitress to get us off from out table as there is a bigger group coming after sitting there for 20 minutes. Then we kindly got up sat to the new table- bust was way smaller did not even fit . When appropriately challenged, the owner told us to "f**k off" numerous times. I have to say we had to call him twice to speak as he was sending his staff to do his bit. Clearly could not accept any criticism. Told us f*ck off again and again. Absolutely shocking behaviour. I mean if this so called the owner/manager had a bad day , maybe have a day off instead - Lost out on service. We instead visited Cafe Kisa. 10000% better.
