Killarney Oaks Hotel

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.

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

I got the Warm Italian Chicken and Honey salad for my lunch which i thought was excellent. It was lovely and sweet and everything tasted really fresh. The staff in the restaurant and bar were so kind and helpful and the food also came quickly and the bar is pleasant as it’s relaxing. I’ve recommended the restaurant to all my friends and family and can’t wait to try something different next time!
