The apartment was very spacious for our family of 4. 2 bathrooms were nice! No swimming pool but had a relaxing communal hot tub in the spa area that you could use for up to 2 hours at an additional cost. The concierge was wonderful and very helpful!

We stayed in the apartments at Muckross. We were only there one night, but I think these would be great for families staying a few nights in the area. They were clean and nicely decorated with a number of amenities. Nice living area and kitchen. One note though....there are 3 floors and NO elevators which I don't remember reading in the fine print. They really need to state this more clearly as I imagine some people would have a problem with this. We weren't very thrilled that we had to haul our luggage to the 3rd floor.

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 setting was beautiful. Just outside the national park. The check-in procedure was fine but we had no idea where to go. There are no signs for “The Reserve.” The apartment was pleasant but it needed a good deep cleaning. There was all kinds of stuff on the floor, long hairs in the shower floors and pube hairs on the wall of the shower. The lack of air conditioning was fine. We opened the windows and it was cool. There were also portable fans in the bedrooms. The kitchen kettle also needed a cleaning.

Everything about Muskross Hotel and Spa delivered on every level I could have dreamed of! Y'all made my Anniversary perfect, the food was absolutely divine. The service was out of this world, and the Hotel was simply magical; if I could do anything I wanted to point out your superstars. Kruno and Jason were without a doubt, the best hospitality staff that I have ever experienced. They're the reason I'll be staying at Muckross on our next visit to Ireland and any visit after that. Those top performers need to be the golden standard in customer service. A service, we will return and I truly hope Kruno and Jason is still there. This will most definitely be recommended to all of my friends and colleagues back in the states, thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts.

Liked: Room comfort
We stayed in room on the ground floor. After being in the room a short time I noticed a terrible smell, like someone urinated on the carpet in one of the bedrooms. After checking around I found the spot. I made several calls to the front desk, someone was sent down to investigate. After several more calls Eugenia was sent to the room. Eugenia was the evening manager that night, she made arrangements for us a different room and dinner for us that night. She did a great job taking care of us and everything for the room. I know this isn’t the normal thing at this beautiful resort, everything was taken care of promptly and professionally. We were told the room would be professional cleaned.

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.

Muckross Reserve apartments were in a great location to walk to the nearby Abbey, House & Gardens but a little far out of Killarney to walk (about an hour or 10/15 mins drive). The apartments were furnished well but kitchen utensils/cookware were basic - we could have used a casserole dish for the oven vs just a shallow baking tray. Other self catering apartments we have stayed in have supplied a welcome pack including basic condiments like oil, salt and pepper, milk and treats vs just tea and coffee sachets and small box of chocolates but we asked for salt and pepper and oil from Colgans next door second day. All the staff were very friendly and helped us organise taxis for our large party going into town. Would highly recommend using this as a base to explore the area and Ring of Kerry.
