Pros:

Lage für Ausflüge super. Fahrradverleih genutzt und zufrieden.

Cons:

Leider waren der Boden in einem Bad und die Nachttische nicht ordentlich sauber. Spuren von vorherigen Gästen sind einfach unschön.

Apartment stay with excellent access to all 7 start hotel amenities
Pros:

It’s a great location to stay in Killarney being in apartment and yet have access to all of the 7 start hotel facilities is a great value. Being in an apartment gives full freedom and a feel at home but as this is linked to hotel you have easy paid access to morning breakfast, swim, restaurants
Highly recommend

Even with the glitches we experienced, I would likely stay here again.
Pros:

The location was very good. Just inside the park and just outside of town. 2 king beds were quite comfortable. Response to smoke detector was very fast (we burnt our toast).

Cons:

There is no elevator in the apartment complex, which either wasn't mentioned, or I overlooked on the booking site. There was no recycle bin in our 2 bedroom unit. I don't recall there being any air conditioning. The living/dining area was a bit tight for 4 adults, but more than adequate. The concierge was to notify us if we could(n't) get dinner reservations, but we were never contacted one way or the other.

Had a good 3 night stay overall
Pros:

Nice, quiet location away from busy Killarney. The 2 BR apartment was good for 4 people.

You can go for super walks from there without using the car. Around Muckross Lake f.e.
The pub nearby topp.

Cons:

We missed a dish washer and the kitchen really was not well equipped... Not one bowl for making salad f.e.
