Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Guests consistently praise the spacious and beautifully decorated rooms, some even staying in park suites. The hotel's proximity to Killarney National Park is a major draw, with complimentary bicycles available for exploring, and Muckross House and garden are also nearby. Many appreciate the well-equipped spa area, including the vitality pool and jacuzzi; however, some have noted that the sauna could be hotter. Dining experiences are also generally positive, especially in the Dome Restaurant, though a few guests found the chicken curry too spicy in the Colgans bar.

bad service spicy curry

i had some issues . the service at the bar was not good. the barman cleaned his glasses for a long time instead of serving us. the health and safety could be improved because there was no lighting on the way back to the hotel. also, my chicken curry was too spicy and hard to eat.
