Pros:

Excellent location.

Cons:

Apartments clearly not 5* and in need of an update in terms of facilities. Not good value for money. E.g. Having to pay to go to the pool in the spa seems stingy given the price of the apartment.

Cool
Pros:

Die Preise sind sehr gehoben. Ich hatte kurzfristig gebucht und dadurch (,zumindest was ich im Internet sehen konnte,) eine deutlichen Abschlag bekommen. In der Werbung ist dies wohl "secret escapes". Dadurch kann ich nicht meckern! 5 Sterne für den Preis von 3-4 Sterne! Der Rest ist.... 5 Sterne! Spa-Bereich und Frühstück ist extra, lohnt sich aber!!!

Cons:

Nichts.

Good place to start the Ring of Kerry tour, or even just looking around Kilarney
Pros:

Good location , a short walk to Muckross Abbey ruins and then on to the lake, with great sunset view, reasonable size rooms and beds, generally clean and well appointed. Staff very friendly, and it has on site restaurant and Bar

Cons:

inner doors are also heavy fire doors/ with key card, which are awkward to keep open. Apartment was on 3rd floor with no lift, so awkward getting cases up the stairs.

Spa, and great place
Pros:

We loved the spa available for 20€.
The structure is right next to the Muckross abandoned abbey and it's a magical place to visit. It's also surrounded by the trails leading to the national park and the lake.
