Old, but the service was great!

We stayed in the apartments, not the hotel proper. It was old and dated, beat up. The hotel was nicer, but needs a facelift. Service and food were excellent though!

Kristina, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The apartment was very spacious for our family of 4. 2 bathrooms were nice! No swimming pool but had a relaxing communal hot tub in the spa area that you could use for up to 2 hours at an additional cost. The concierge was wonderful and very helpful!

Poor setvice at restaurant

We've felt a bit neglected in the restaurant outside area. There was a group of 100 inside. Food quality was not great, starters arrived with mains which meant eating cold food.
Althea, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bed was two twins pushed together, which made for a hard edge down the middle. One side was worn and saggy. The other was somewhat comfortable.
Barbara, 2-night trip

Lovely place to stay .. super close to many restaurants
Ravi, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent stay

Overall, very good. The location is great. South of Killarney, so if you want to be in the middle of pubs and restaurants and such, this may not be the place for you, but we loved that we could walk to Muckross Abbey, and that we were right by the lake and Torc Waterfall with short drives. They offered free bike rental, which I'd have loved if we had more time. The staff were very friendly. Both the person who checked us in, and the one who checked us out, were super-friendly, and were quick and to the point. The room itself was nice. It was a bit hot when we were there, so a fan would've been nice, but we just cranked the windows wide and that did the job. The two bedroom apartment was great, and relaxing.
Jonathan, 2-night trip

Surprised us with champagne for our 50th anniversary! Very thoughtful.
Rene, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed in the apartments at Muckross. We were only there one night, but I think these would be great for families staying a few nights in the area. They were clean and nicely decorated with a number of amenities. Nice living area and kitchen. One note though....there are 3 floors and NO elevators which I don't remember reading in the fine print. They really need to state this more clearly as I imagine some people would have a problem with this. We weren't very thrilled that we had to haul our luggage to the 3rd floor.
Heather, 1-night trip

Amazing stay, facilities and staff. Some of the best food while in Ireland amd the Spa was top notch.
Jennifer, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We enjoyed everything except the beds. The beds were not comfortable. Unfortunately, not a great sleep due to the hard beds.
Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We enjoyed the apartments attached to the property. The room is spacious, kitchen well appointed, and clean. Parking was easy and rooms were quiet. We slept well every night. The only negative would be the lighting in the bathroom to shave or put make up on. The resort itself is in a great location just a couple minutes outside of town. The resort staff is wonderful. The spa team was great as well. Yew Tree restaurant breakfast was good but not as exceptional as our lunch in Monk's bar. We all enjoyed our lunch and returned for drinks multiple times to Monk's.
