Urlaub in Irland
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren sehr komfortabel und sehr gefällig ausgestattet. Leider gibt es im Hotel keine Möglichkeit, Schmutzwäsche reinigen zu lassen. Auch der Getränkeautomat war kaputt.

Cons:

Im Vergleich zu anderen Hotels war das Personal nicht so hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Pros:

Sauberkeit

Cons:

Das Hotel hat keinen Charakter. Für den Preis bekommt man eine in die Jahre gekommene Ausstattung und ein Zimmer im Erdgeschoss neben der Straße oder der Terasse. Abgeschieden gelegen.

good but not great
Pros:

The hotel is in a lovely location. The foyer is very large and bright, pale colours, impersonal, and lacking a warm welcome vibe.
The room (105) was a bit of a disappointment. It was dark: chipped black-painted furniture, some loose handles, and grey soft furnishing. The not very wide wardrobe was annoyingly short of hanging space as it contained the ironing board and iron, and the safe on a mid-level shelf.
The bathroom was bright, there were plenty of towels ,and a large, mirrored-door, cabinet. But the left hand tap on the washbasin turned on in a clockwise direction and this had fooled a lot of people, so the tap was wobbly from people trying hard to get water out of it in the normal way. The spacious shower was powerful but the very lowest heat setting was still very hot. The toilet had a temperamental flush - don't cleaners report these things?
The breakfast was good and there was something for everybody, and the room was bright and airy. The waiting staff were also good. They 'lose' one star though as one morning there was an eyelash on my side plate and the cup appeared to have just had cold water swirled around in it and then put back out for use.

Pros:

Beautiful hotel just the staff at breakfast need a bit more knowledge on gluten free food as we came very near to our daughter being glutened.. when one of the waiting staff kept making mistakes in what was gluten free after around 30 mins of him back and forth to kitchen !been told sausages at the buffet which were in a bambery with white and black pudding were gluten free even after I asking quite clearly are you sure now their gluten free at the buffet ! then as my little girl was just about to eat them he came to our table in a panic saying the chef was making gluten free sausages in the kitchen and took the plate of sausages that were from the buffet from our table ..their was no gluten free cereal or pastries ect for €328 for an over night stay including breakfast i think coeliac's in this hotel aren't catered for equally

Noisy
Pros:

Very disappointed. Room was located above the laundry room and noisy machines were going from the time we booked in. We couldn't even open the windows as the noise could be even heard with windows closed. Very disappointed with our choice of hotel in Killarney

Et meget ordinært hotel uden charme. Udendørsarealerne er virkelig dårlige. Man sidder på en p-plads.

Disappointing
Cons:

Room located above laundry room with noisy machines going from when we arrived. We could hear them even with window closed. Therefore we couldn't open windows at all for some fresh air. No temperature gauge in the room either
