Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated in a stunning location just across from Killarney National Park, which was truly the highlight of my trip. The rooms were spacious and beautifully furnished, but some minor maintenance issues like a disconnected phone and a faulty bedside lamp needed attention. The service was exceptional, especially with the staff going the extra mile for my husband's birthday. The dining experience was fantastic with delightful continental breakfasts, but some improvements could be made. Overall, a great value for money stay with outstanding surroundings.
I had an incredible stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean, spacious, and had the most comfortable bed and pillows I've ever experienced. The views were absolutely beautiful. However, the location was right by the smoking area where people were attending a corporate event with a DJ, causing vibrations in the room. The service was outstanding, with staff going out of their way to be helpful and contributing with thoughtfulness and kindness, making my stay so special. The hotel needs a bit of tender loving care, which could be a concern in the future. The dining experience was a mix of exceptional and disappointing moments, offering amazing breakfast options but also having an old-fashioned restaurant experience. Overall, the facilities were top-notch, with fresh clean laundry and bathroom necessities.
The hotel is like stepping into a fairy tale with its charming rooms but lacks natural light. The service is top-notch, with attentive and accommodating staff. The location is perfect for exploring the national park but needs a bit of upkeep. The dining experience varies from mediocre to unforgettable, and the facilities are overall satisfactory.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely stunning, with spacious and comfortable rooms located in the tower of the building. The complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates for our anniversary were a lovely touch. However, the location was a bit out of town and needs a bit of tlc. The dining experience was superb with creative dishes, although the service seemed rushed at times.
The hotel had a musty odor above a wedding reception, but overall it was very clean and maintained to a high standard. While I expected more luxury for a five-star rating, the cleanliness was top-notch.
Staying in the tower of this hotel was just wonderful, like having a wedding band playing in our room. The massive rooms provide a unique experience, but the dining experience was underwhelming at times. The friendly and helpful staff truly lived up to their title, though the breakfast could use a bit more variety.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean, although I had to deal with some tiny flies on the ceiling during the day. The top-floor location with slanted rooftops made me crouch to avoid banging my head in the hall to the room.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were not serviced properly for a three-night stay, and the location, though scenic, was far from the town. On the bright side, the hotel was situated right next to the national park with beautiful views, and the dining experience, while rushed, offered fresh and healthy dishes.
