Sleep beside the ruins
The Glendalough Hotel stands right at the entrance to the monastic city, next to the river bridge. Sleeping here changes the visit: you can stroll round the ruins and the Green Road first thing or at dusk, when the Dublin coaches have gone and the valley is silent.
The hotel
It has double rooms, some overlooking the valley, the bar and bistro Casey's, with food until 20:30, and The Barn, a café with a grill. Its website does not publish the number of rooms or the check-in time: ask when you book.
How to get there
By car, along the N11 and through Laragh, or over the Wicklow Gap from the west. Without a car, the St Kevin's bus from St Stephen's Green in Dublin stops at the visitor centre, a few steps away, at 12:20; the return leaves at 16:30.
