This review is for miscommunication between the hotel and Expedia. Unfortunately, this is the only property that I happened to double-book. I traveled through Ireland for 11 days and the cancellation date was sooner than all the rest. When I realized I didn’t cancel this one on time, I actually went to the hotel and spoke with Danielle. She was very kind and professional, and said she would speak to Expedia to allow me to cancel and get a refund but she couldn’t get them on the phone while I was there and said she would call them later. After I left, I talked to Expedia and they said they would give me a refund if the property allowed it but they couldn’t get ahold of property. So, even though I was told by the hotel and Expedia that they would be willing to give me a refund, they couldn’t confirm with each other, so I didn’t get it. The property looked fine, but it was not near the city center. I didn’t actually see the apartment, but from the outside it looked okay. It was close to a busy street that had cars driving by fast.

Restaurants on site are wonderful and varied. Pub was beautiful and affordable vs the other restaurants which were nice but pricey. Apartments are large and have plenty of room for a family.

On the outskirts of town. Walkable to Killarney national Park. Able to rent bikes down the road and ride for miles around the park. Location is wonderful if you like a more quiet, relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel itself is very nice. I do not recommend the self catering apartments as they are very rundown. I brought this to their attention, which they addressed satisfactorily. The restaurant, bar, and hotel staff were some of the kindest individuals I’ve could ever meet!

The property was amazing and the staff was very kind and helpful. The interior of the apartment, particularly the carpet was worn. The bed however was extremely uncomfortable-very hard both the mattress and pillows!

Not nearly as good as expected
Would not recommend. Be warned - the swimming pool is for over 16 year olds only. This isn’t communicated clear enough on the listing and was the key reason I had made the booking - so my kids (12 and 15) and I could swim every morning. Except, we couldn’t. Beyond that, the Reserve apartments are large and comfy enough, but certainly not 5 star standard. A bit old, musty and tired. 3 star, tops.

Certainly my fault for not paying closer attention but I thought I was booking the Muckross Park Hotel & Spa and not a room in their "Reserve" or apartment building adjacent to the hotel. It was unclear why each bedroom in the 2-bed apartment had different room numbers. The Reserve is tired, no elevator, no a/c, no housekeeping and one of the windows wouldn't open. I did tell a clerk who came to check on the lock that I wanted to be in the main hotel but no one responded. Pretty disappointing when I thought I was going to be in the "castle".
