Wonderful stay. I have a food allergy and the hotel staff was beyond accommodating. Ireland with food allergy is taken so serious and menus are very documented. The US needs to take notes.
Liked everything!
Lovely hotel right in the National Park
Nice facilities and lovely beds and rooms
Beautiful location and charming hotel
Nothing
The setting was beautiful, the hotel was perfectly situated, the grounds were beautiful, and the staff was very accommodating!
I loved everything!! Breakfast was included and the selection was great!
Really nice property
Everything!
It’s all perfect!
The breakfast and the spa were the best parts of the stay. Breakfast and service was very quick and delicious. Spa was fun although the hot tubs were not hot. It was a nice touch having bath salts by the bathtub although I wasn't there long enough to use them.
The only issue is the walls were thin and the room next to me kept me up through the night. I had to turn on music in order to fall back asleep. That was difficult considering how much I paid for the room.
Included breakfast was good Service and staff were very good Pub was fun enough Room was dated but large, carpet was dirty, bathroom needs updating The pool/hot tub area was a big disappointment- the outside hot tub had cold water coming from jets, the inside hot tubs each had one overly powerful jet and the others not working. We mentioned to the spa desk and she said they were “working” on a fix in a way that made me think this had been a long term problem. It was billed as a 5 star and cost that, nearly $500 per night possibly because there was a wedding that night. Its location is special by the national park and bikes to explore are free, which was the best part. Closer to Killarney town center were a million other hotels which may be a better value. Only choose this if the price is right and you like being further out. We explored Ring of Kerry from here which worked well but if going again I would stay in Kenmare or Portmagee on the loop itself.
Pool area- broken hot tubs dated bathroom and crowded room decor
Everything staff food room
Sehr schönes Hotel nahe einem großen Schlosspark, sehr gutes Essen, schönes Spa
You have everything you need on the property if don’t want to leave. Great food and multiple places to drink with an amazing spa. With the property being on the 25,000 acre park, you have plenty to explore and do.
We loved the attention to detail.
La qualité du restaurant pour le Diner. Le service du petit déjeuné été aussi très bien
Que le SPA ne soit pas accessible aux enfants
room was large and beautiful. breakfast was great as well...
מיקום מעולה לטיולים בסביבה. ארוחת בוקר טוה מאוד
חדר כושר קטן מאוד עם שעות פתיחה מוגבלות מאוד כי הוא ממוקם צמוד לחדרים. אין בריכת שחיה אלא הכל מתקני ספא. מחירי טיפולים יקרים מאוד
Plenty of parking, staff were lovely and friendly. The bed was comfortable.
Booked a king size room and the price for it i expected a stunning spacious room. What i got was one of the smallest "king size" room i have ever booked. The tv/tv remote had the option of netflix and youtube none of the buttons worked. Disappointing.
Netter Pub neben dem Hotel
Schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, dunkle und kleine Zimmer, schlechtes und überteuertes Restaurant, unfreundliches Personal
Space in the room ; delicious breakfast
5 star hotel with a restaurant closed on Sunday and Monday nights ! No garden even in a big park
Room upgrade. Thankyou. Lucien and all staff. EC Car Charger.

The decor of the facility was absolutely beautiful and the Vitality Spa was exactly what we needed after driving around Ireland for the 4-5 previous days of sight-seeing. What an amazing and wonderful place to end our visit to Ireland before heading back home to the States. Our room was exquisite and The Yew Tree and Monk's Lounge are both options.
That we couldn't stay longer. Another day or two would have been ideal.
Posizione strategica
Assenza BIDET in un bagno di circa 15mq
Just the proximity to the muckross abbey
Old dated not a five star
The location was right by the Ring of Kerry and The national Forest. The food was yummy! We’ve been traveling around Ireland for a while and we had the best night sleep here. I had the best bed and the softest sheets. The staff was fantastic
Nothing I could think of right now. Thank you.
Behulpzaam personeel; de grote variatie en kwaliteit van het ontbijt; de ligging tegenover National Killarney Park en een prima Deep Muscle massage in het mooie wellnessbereik.
Er waren een aantal kleinere zaken waardoor het toch niet helemaal als een vijf sterren hotel aanvoelde. Zo was de safe op de kamer defect en werd ook niet gerepareerd tijdens ons verblijf. De geluidsisolatie van de kamer was niet optimaal. Je kon gasten in de naburige kamers duidelijk horen en je hoorde laat 's avonds vaak muziek van 1 van de vele trouwfeesten die er plaatsvinden. De waterdruk in de badkamer was soms laag en de koelkast was niet echt koud. Tenslotte wouden we een lunchpakketje bestellen voor de daaropvolgende dag maar eerst begreep het personeel niet wat we bedoelden en toen ze het wel begrepen zeiden ze dat zoiets 24u op voorhand moest besteld worden wat natuurlijk niet meer mogelijk was.
The Spa, spacious room, good pub
Room was not fully replenished every day, we had to go asking for vanity kits,dental kits etc. Also breakfast buffet had empty trays with a single slice of cheese on more than one occasion (not at the end of the service)
Location was excellent and staff were really helpful .
Colgans bar a bit disappointing.
Die Zimmer waren geräumig, das Frühstück sehr gut
Kein Platz im Spa, das Hotel nennt sich Hotel und Spa, aber wenn man nicht weiss, dass man offenbar einen Platz im Spa reservieren muss, kann man nicht ins Spa 😳 Keine Aussicht, obwohl es auf den Fotos so aussieht, wie wenn man nicht an der Strasse ist

For a five star it could be better
Je recommande vivement ce charmant hôtel, nous y avons passé 2 nuits dans un calme absolue , le lit est plus que comfortable, sans oublié un passage au SPA et un dîner au restaurant le colghan. Le personnel de l’hôtel est très aimable, professionnel et à l’écoute.

Hotel Absolut perfect. Locație frumoasă, personal de nivel înalt, atmosfera rafinată, bucătari de top. Merită
Very relaxing atmosphere, staff friendly and obliging and a beautiful location.
Breakfast: flies were hovering around the pastries and there was no real butter at breakfast. It tasted like a margarine type spread (awful). I did enquire and the waitress was unable to say if they had real butter. I would expect a choice from any hotel and real butter as a standard at breakfast. Unfortunately for me, it did take from the overall breakfast experience.
Our family of four had a lovely two night stay at Muckross. The rooms are bright and large. the location is a short drive to the center of Killarney. Its right across the street from the Muckross Abbey and a short walk to Muckross House. a further hike leads to the TORC Falls. We had a nice afternoon at the spa and the full breakfast was filling and delicious. We used this as a base for golf and Dingle and Kerry. It was woodsy and very green. Its a drive to the coast, but we knew that-- for us the location was central for all the things we wanted to do. Dinner in the pub was fun. They have live music every night and the whole crowd was singing along. We would definitely return!

N/a
Staff were so helpful and lovely. Fantastic spot so close to entrance to the park.
Everything
It was lovely
Staff were genuinely warm and professional throughout — a cut above what you'd typically expect. The rooms are well-appointed and comfortable. A highlight was the managed access to the spa, with capped numbers keeping it uncrowded and relaxing — a smart policy that many hotels fail to implement.
One gripe: the bar is attractive but overpriced, and the absence of any nibbles with drinks (crisps, nuts) was noticeable — even after asking. A small thing, but it jars slightly at that price point.
Everything.
Can’t think of a single complaint.

Beautiful property/grounds. Hotel had charm and character.
Distance from town since we were without a car. However staff called for our taxi, and it was not a problem.
Me robaron mucho dinero en efectivo de mi cartera y nadie se hizo cargo.
Everything is fabulous - wonderful and attentive staff, amazing restaurants and the best spa facilities/massage I’ve come across in Ireland. Love everything about it

A beautiful gateway to The Muckross National Park.
I wished there were outdoor seating areas in the hotel.
Fruit wasn’t that fresh, no yogurts, the gluten free section was empty, I tried the crossaint which was rock hard and stale. Could have had more options. There was a loaf of bread and the stale croissants. The cooked breakfast was good. Staff were very friendly. The hotel was clean.
We love everything, the bedroom was spacious with elegant decor, very clean. Large bathroom with bath and shower, spottles. Staff and hotel top marks! Thank you!
A bit pricey.
Tranquility. Food was excellent. Very comfortable bedroom. Friendly staff.
Staff was excellent and so attentive. Very professional and amenities were top notch.
Nothing to dislike

Beautiful, clean and rooms were spacious
Dinner: Sehr gutes hauseigenes Restaurant mit aufmerksamem Personal Ruhige Lage, nahe der Abbey
Frühstück: ausreichendes Buffet. Personal langsam, unaufmerksam evtl. noch in der Lernphase. Für ein 5 Sterne Hotel trotzdem nicht würdig. Wir hatten wohl das teuerste Zimmer, mit Balkon. Zimmer war super schön aber die Terrasse war nicht gereinigt, Spinnweben, Dreck, Moos - ein no Go für ein 5 Sterne Hotel
The staff friendly and helpful .The food was excellent .Parking easy . The Spa was comfortable. Room quality and bed excelent.
High quality. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Very nice room and great restaurant, lounge, bar and spa. Good accessibility

Personnel Charmant et accueillant , hôtel bien situé sur la route du ring of Kerry, petit dej copieux et très bon, restaurant « gastronomique » aux plats délicieux

Breakfast was sumptuous - good spread - hot and cold breakfast options were available.
The mattress could have been more comfortable. The Air Conditioning was on but didn’t feel like it.
Tolle Lage direkt gegenüber vom Killarney National Park. Schöne Anlage und Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal und der Spabereich war auch sehr schön und der perfekte Rückzugsort an verregneten Tagen. Das benachbarte Restaurant Colgans Pub ist auch sehr empfehlenswert.
