We have been traveling to Ireland every year for the past 4 years on Easter week & this was our first stay at Muckross. We couldn't have been happier! From Shad at concierge, to Eric the pastry chef who made an INCREDIBLE birthday cake for our son's 18th, to Dean & Laura at the front desks, to Ramona at breakfast each morning, to Mia our waitress at Colgan's two nights in a row (& our other waitress's name there who I cannot remember) we were over the moon with the hospitality & our stay. We also had incredible spa treatments (shout out to Deborah & I wish I knew the other therapists names because they were all equally GREAT.) Would definitely highly recommend to anyone looking for an incredible stay in Killarney! Rooms were immaculate, employees warm & helpful at every turn, food delicious. Thank you for making our last World Championships trip to Killarney the best & beyond memorable!!

Nothing. :-)

Location is 3 km outside Killarney opposite Muckross Park and excellent if one has a car as did we. Breakfast is either a generous buffet style or order from the kitchen. Service is very good. Hotel provides welcome snacks. ;-). In room capsule coffee maker and tea kettle were appreciated.

Like many hotels in Ireland, if one likes to sleep with the AC set for 20 C, or 21C, the AC is on a timer and shuts down mid-night and one may wake up uncomfortably hot as did we. Some staff recommend setting the AC on cold before bed and then one is comfortable later, but this approach defeats the purpiose of conserving energy. We prefer to use a modest level of cooling. Most hotels will allow the AC to run if requested. We made such request but the AC was switched off anyway.

The hotel has kept its standards over the years. The food is beyond excellent. The bar, restaurant, and dining areas are very comfortable.The food was exceptionally nice. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and there was a large menu to choose from. The Monks lounge served fabulous food, too. Again, a varied menu. I had the Colgan beef buger and chips every evening it was delicious, tasty and well presented, and val for money. The chips were the NICEST CHIPS I HAVE EVER HAD.The staff are all very welcoming. They know their job and show their expertise. The hotel is so well situated in Killarney that we were able to park the car for the duration of our stay, and we walked several KM every day. (Bicycles were provided, but we chose to walk). It's been a while since we were in Muckross House Hotel, but we look forward to returning there later in the season. I wish the hotel a good season ahead. They deserve it. Kind regards Bernadette

The breakfast was excellent with a good choice for vegetarians and vegans. What really made it special however, was the friendly and helpful staff who were always alert to any requirements. The Yew Tree restaurant, where breakfast is served, is absolutely beautiful and topped off the experience perfectly. We booked an hour in the vitality pool that included use of the sauna, steam room, two jacuzzis, an outdoor hot tub (dIvine!) and heated loungers. At 11am we had the place to ourselves for the last 40 mins. Extremely relaxing and for no extra cost! The bathroom was very good with double his and her sinks and an enormous bath. The seperate shower was perfect; easy to use, instant hot water and very good water pressure. The Ritual complimentary shower gel, conditioner and shampoo added to the sense of luxury. The twin room we booked was of a very adequate size although we could have done with a few more hangers in the wardrobe. The room was easy to heat or cool with very simple wall controls and the beds themselves were extremely comfortable. Finally, and notwithstanding the lovely surroundings and general air of opulance and serenity, the greatest tribute I can pay this hotel is its staff. Incredibly professional, yet friendly, helpful and always there with a sincere smile and a cheery hello. Outstanding stuff from porter to waiter to housemaid to receptionist.

I could mention that some of the skirting boards and door frames could perhaps do with a small re-touch here and there and if one looked very carefully, there were one or two areas where a quick lick of paint might have improved the decor marginally but these are very trivial points and did nothing really to detract from the experience.

Truly, everything about our stay at the Muckross hotel & Spa was exceptional. The building is beautiful, the room was spacious, beautiful and very comfortable. The staff were all so lovely, kind and accommodating. The spa was so relaxing and an amazing addition after long weeks of travel. Dean in particular was amazing and offered so many kind additions for my partner and I as we celebrated our engagement. He and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay romantic and celebratory. I am so grateful. The breakfasts were fabulous. I only wish we could have stayed longer at this wonderful place. Thank you so much to all!

Everything was perfect

Our stay was amazing!! It was my partner and Is anniversary and they went above and beyond. The pool facilities were so luxurious. We loved the jacuzzi , sauna , steam room etc. The hotel was so accommodating and gave us a superior room (Thank you to the Lovely Emma at the desk) We had yummy food in the bar /restaurant where Patrick served us with a smile. The breakfast was very tasty in the morning and great service. The hotel was so close to muckross park and muckross Abbey where we went for a lovely walk and a coffee. We also did a little pony treck around facilitated by this lovely man named Dan who was down the road. The hotel staff were so so nice and happy to answer any questions. We are so happy with out paddy's day stay. Thank you so much! Go raibh míle maith agat.

I loved everything!!

From the moment of arrival you feel special. The staff are wonderful, and the hotel is grand and opulent. The room was spacious and grand, and the bathroom has lovely Rituals toiletries. The breakfast was amazing and to a very high standard, with service to match. We didn't eat dinner in the fine dining room, but in the casual pub facility next door. Was very good. There is a wonderful cozy bar area, with a fire place, with bar staff making really fabulous cocktails and coffee which was lovely to spend an evening relaxing. The concierge was so helpful , and we enjoyed the complimentary bicycles, and spa vitality suite. Very lovely. The concierge booked us dinner in town too, and his recommendation was excellent. We honestly couldn't fault the place, and would definitely return.

I can't fault it... all was to our liking.

We loved the historic decorations of the hotel. It’s aged well. We were able to rent umbrellas! We loved the fresh flowers and real candles and the fire in the bar! The location to the park could not be beat. The breakfast was delicious and the staff is beyond accommodating.

The bar and restaurant only makes pod coffee. For a 4-5 star hotel, I would suggest improved coffee. There was confusion on the spa use - I’m still unsure if we could use the hot tub even if we didn’t book a spa appointment. I would recommend a shuttle service to downtown since the Muckross is a little far from downtown.

What a fabulous hotel with exceptional service. Huge credit to all the staff who were so welcoming, couldn’t do more to help and always smiling. The hotel itself is stunning, from the entrance with candles & fresh flowers, the gorgeous spa, it all felt very luxe. We were offered a welcome drink whilst checking in, bags taken to our room, shown to the spa as we booked a time slot (access is free to all guests you just have to pre book a time slot) the spa was gorgeous, very quiet so even more special, inside and outside jacuzzi, steam room, sauna and lovely pool with bubble beds. The bar/lounge was so cosy with a fire and comfy sofas. We ate at the onsite pub which was lovely. I would try the onsite fine dining if coming back. Breakfast was a real treat, lovely service, great selection of buffet and cooked options (all included) the room itself was great, a nice hotel room, just didn’t have the wow factor that the rest of the hotel did. We will absolutely be returning when visiting Ireland again. Great value for money as well. The location was ideal to explore Killarney, close to the waterfalls and stunning landscapes. Thank you all so much!

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the friendly staff and treated to a complimentary autumnal non-alcoholic hot cider, which was delicious. From the start, we felt like truly special and unique guests. Our room was fantastic, offering beautiful views of the majestic treeline. We dined at the hotel’s Yew Tree Restaurant, where the service was top-notch, and every need or preference was thoughtfully catered to. The next morning, we enjoyed a relaxing dip in the pool, and we were captivated by the design and layout of the spa and pool areas. The architecture of the building, along with the thoughtfully designed coves for different spa treatments, created a serene and inviting atmosphere. We would highly recommend Muckross Park Hotel to friends and family and can’t wait to spend more time there in the future.
