A really lovely hotel so close to the national park. The staff is uniformly excellent - we felt that way from the moment we were greeted. Reception, concierge, restaurant staff, bartenders - All wonderful examples of warm Irish hospitality. And I must thank the housekeeper who discovered I had left my passport in the room and the employees who overnighted it to my next hotel in Ireland through the Irish post! The first time I had ever made a mistake like that and the staff at the Muckross saved the rest of my travels from disaster. Thanks to all who helped!

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.
