On arrival however it was immediately clear that this hotel is not 4 star. As a treat we decided to splash out on a master deluxe lake view room and was very excited about it. I have always gone by tripadvisor reviews for booking hotels and have always found them really accurate. Overall it is a nice family run hotel, with an amazing location, lovely views, and very close to the lively Killarney town.Īfter reading all the good reviews I was really looking forward to staying in this hotel. The steam room also seemed to be malfunctioning and we couldn't find anyone to ask about it or the hot tub so we left a bit disappointed. As it was October, and outside, this wasn't much fun. We tried to use the hottub but it didn't seem to be working and was quite cold. The lesiure facilities weren't great however. The bar and service staff were all really friendly and polite and for me that was one of the best things about the hotel. I've visited and worked in 3 star hotels where they are made to order, granted this is a much larger hotel but surely to warrant a 4 star they could have done something a bit better. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was very good standard, however breakfast the next day wasn't so great - the standard fry using the cheapest meat available and rubbery eggs, all on buffet so they weren't even hot. There was a jacuzzi bath which sounded great but was actually more painful that enjoyable! The view over the lake was lovely and the walks down by the lake were so peaceful and relaxing. The room itself was fairly average, even with the four poster bed, it just seemed a little dated. It's a nice old hotel, set in the gorgeous surroundings of the lake.
