Really wish I'd booked at least 2 nights here at this beautiful property in this beautiful location! I was visiting from USA w/ my wife and we had great time. I took a little carriage ride across the street through the park, saw the Muckross house, saw some old buildings, had some great strolls, and had fun at the spa as well. Amazing service and beautiful clean rooms! Thanks for the hospitality.

Delighted with the welcome and the upgrade , staff were very welcoming.
Went to the bar for Chowder and we were frozen ,
Had a reservation in Colgans ,food wasn’t great we sat next to the heater and we were still cold in the restaurant .
Returned to the hotel for a few drinks , we sat in the lobby beautiful surroundings as there was no room anywhere else and ended up in bed for 10pm as we were so cold
It was our wedding anniversary and we were very disappointed

Nice stay! The location is convenient to Killarney National Park and Killarney. Patrick the concierge was super helpful. The room was OK - we did find a huge spider in the bed upon arrival. However, it was overall clean. It was a plus that they offer free bikes to explore the surrounding area.

We stayed for two nights. Upon arrival we were greeted by an amazing porter, Patrick. At the desk we were checked in by a less than friendly individual. Our assigned room was not what was described on Expedia or the hotels own website for a suite. We spent the night in that room due to the fact we were told there were no other rooms available. The next day we were moved to the room we were expecting and the hotel manager was kind. The second night we dined at the hotel’s restaurant and had an incredible meal. The second day they definitely redeemed themselves.

The property is nice and we really enjoyed the restaurant and bar. The restaurant staff was good and the food was tasty.
When we got our room keys we noticed the room was extremely warm. We told the staff and they said they would fix. When we went back hours later the heat was still on and the room was a sauna but a fan was put in the room. The fan provided was broke so it didn't work well. The manager said they were having ac issues and apologized they didn't have an adequate solution such as fans that work for their customers and all other rooms were booked.
When checking out the staff said the manager wanted to talk to me and after waiting 10 minutes at the door I left.

So beautiful. Staff were so earnest and professional. Directly across the street is Muckross Abbey, a cemetery and ruin that feels mystical, while the resident cows are lowing. We’d visit Colgan’s Bar for dining because the fine dining (Yew Tree) is closed Sunday / Monday, so plan accordingly. Sean in Colgan’s was a pro and wonderful. Breakfast was the best we had in Ireland (of several stays). Massages were lovely, upper back massage was relaxing.

I enjoyed the breakfast room and all the many choices including the tropical smoothie. Guillermo and his team provided amazing service! My check-in was great too and all the hotel staff were warm and welcoming. This hotel is so close to everything of interest in Killarney National Park, being in the park, and I much prefer it to the crowded atmosphere in the hotels in the town of Killarney.

Okay stay for 5 Star Hotel

My husband and I got a dinner voucher for 2 for the Yew Restaurant so we decided to treat ourselves to an overnight stay for our anniversary. Unfortunately when I booked I didn't know that restauarant is closed on Sunday nights so we had to make do with the bar restaurant called Colgans. We were disappointed but at least Colgans honoured the voucher. The hotel is 5 star and this is fully evident from when you enter the hotel. Unfortunately, amidst all the attentiveness they managed to mix up our rooms, we were given the wrong room (this room had a veranda with an ashtray full of cigarette butts on a table), they lost our luggage and we were waiting around 90mins before been shown the correct room. Eventually after resolving the issue they did apologise and gave us a complimentary bottle of prosecco but it did leave us somewhat out of sorts. I do have to say the Spa with the Vitality Suite is absolutely beautiful and you do feel very relaxed and spoilt after it. Our bedroom was lovely and clean as was the bathroom. They offered Rituals products which are gorgeous. The only downside in the bathroom is the lack of counter space for toiletry bags etc. Colgans was okay, we were seated in a high table with high stools which didn't make for a relaxing meal. The atmosphere was dead in the bar and hotel lobby albeit it was a Sunday night. The breakfast was lovely and the hotel is perfectly situated beside the national park with Muckross House, Torc, Dinis Cottage all walkable.

When we were checking in to the Muckross Hotel, the Brochure for the Muckross stated that if you rent one of their suites you would receive a complimentary bottle of wine. I had purchased a suite thru Expedia. When I ask about our complimentary bottle of wine , I was informed that since I purchased the suite thru Expedia I was not entitled to the complimentary bottle.
