We had a lovely stay at Muckross Hotel. From the moment we arrived, all of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which really made our trip special. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, with high-quality ingredients and an excellent selection that catered to all tastes and dietary preferences. The standout for us were the egg dishes, each of them cooked to perfection every morning. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable, and beautifully presented, while the bathrooms were lovely and modern with a luxury classic feel. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we would happily recommend Muckross Hotel to anyone visiting Killarney.

I loved it! From the moment we walked in the doors we were made to feel welcomed and cared for. We were surprised with a room upgrade (didn’t have to ask for it) and the location was perfect As a guest in the hotel, we were able to use the gorgeous spa without additional fees. My only regret was that I wish I planned more time.

First of all, the setting of Muckross is second to none. Being in Killarney National Park makes this idea for anyone wanting to spend a few days at a place where peace of mind comes easily. The abundance of trails and trees make it easy to take quiet walks. The hotel itself is beautiful. We stayed in the self-catering apartment and it allowed us to dine at the hotel, cook our own meal or drive to town. It is quiet and clean. We will return and stay here again if we visit the area.

My wife and I just returned from a 4-night stay at Muckross Park Hotel & Cloister Spa. This 5-star hotel lived up to its rating in every regard. The suite we stayed in was just beautiful and with the extra sitting area above the entrance, my wife commented that she felt like a princess. The Cloister Spa was exceptional and we enjoyed the service there on several days. All of the international staff - from the doormen, front desk to wait staff - were pleasant and helpful to any issue. We ate dinner at Blue Pool and Molly Darcys pub - 2 of 3 on-site resturants. The staff at the was especially helpful with the wine selection as we celebrated our anniversary one evening. The food was absolutely delicious at both places. The hotel is right across the street from walking paths, jaunting carts, and the Muckross House in Killarney National Park. All in all, we absolutely recommend this hotel and would stay there again in a heartbeat.
