Impressive
Pros:

Very good facilities. The price was very good, too good for the service that we received. I would however suggest on installing bar fridges in the rooms for refreshments. The weather was a little bit hot and we could have benefited from cold water in the room. Overall, we were impressed by the whole experience and we would use the hotel again without hesitation.

Great value. an enjoyable stay
Pros:

Very happy with my stay. The Delux Super King room was modern, tastefully appointed, clean and very comfortable.
I arrived before the 3pm check-in time and reception went above and beyond to get the room ready which was much appreciated.
The hotel is 15 minutes walk to Killarney town and maybe 20 minutes to the National Park 🏞️ so really well located. I walked lots and left the car in the complementary car park.
I used the pool which is small but clean and would be ideal for kids but it worked for me too. The jacuzzi was bliss after all my walking. The steam room was perfect and I noticed a sauna but didn’t try it.
After all that activity I was hungry and had a great burger in the bar and a glass of Guinness to wash it down. The staff were great and I enjoyed my food and drinks.
The bed was very comfy and had a great nights sleep. Check was friendly and efficient in the morning.
All in all I would highly recommend the Parkavon as a good value short stay location in Killarney.

Pleasant surprise with a quiet, comfortable room with window facing greenery and bird songs
Pros:

My 3 night stay couldn’t have been more amazing pleasant and comfortable with such great value.
Arriving before noon, attended to immediately with efficiency and care, we had our room early.
The refurbished rooms were done well. And the pool/spa area! What a bonus- super clean and after a week plus of travels, the jets were fantastic, steam, sauna and pool perfect.
The front staff: wow, bend over backwards to guests with care, accuracy, communication and efficiency. Left my jacket after arriving at train station to leave and the response, coordination, and quick acting had it there bfr train departure. The desk staff even called train station to relay message to me and found me!! Wow. Highly recommend this hotel- even if slightly walking from main area on tired feet. The solace was worth it.

It was underwhelming and somewhat shocking. On the plus side, a good night's sleep was had.
Pros:

The room (family) was comfortable and quiet. We all had a very good nights sleep. The beds were particulary comfy for both adults and kids. The staff were helpful with requests at breakfast time and proactively made sure you were OK.

Cons:

The swimming pool wasn't clean. It is small but not well maintained. The changing area / showers for this was absolutely filthy in a health hazard kind of way. It was just terrible. I looked at blood on the aleady dirty floor. Thankfully, children can be somewhat oblivious but for our own personal safety I could not bring the kids there again in the morning. Instead we booked the pool in the Gleneagle. The breakfast is a cramped area for buffet, some of the hot breakfast is actually cold. It is quite tasteless. It is not a great experience. I accept it is 3 star but it could be prepared much better. It is functional at best.

Stayed out of desperation
Pros:

Stayed here last minute as there was a mix up with our booking in a nearby hotel. Disappointed overall, the bedroom was nice and quiet and we all slept well. That's a plus. However breakfast was below standard, tinned fruit instead of fresh fruit salad, dry croissants out on display. A member of staff eventually brought out other pastries but why weren't they out for everyone. The swimming pool changing rooms were manky, so bad that we paid to go swimming across in the gleneagle hotel next morning because we couldn't stomach going back to the pool with the children. We would not return, nor would we recommend
