The room was modern and classic at the same time, and truly luxurious. The breakfast (which starts with a tower of pastries, treats, and juices) was both delicious and beautiful. The piano bar was amazing. And even the pool and fitness room was a cut above. And the location could not be better. I very highly recommend this hotel, and would love to come back.

Hopefully SLH reevaluates and makes them improve or removes them. This is by no means a luxury hotel. Especially the rooms. This is more in line with what you would expect at a cheaper B&B. It's like they spent all their money in the common areas and did a cheap flip in the rooms. NOTHING about the rooms speaks luxury let alone a nice hotel or even above average for that matter. For better or worse I stay at nicer hotels 80-90 nights a year. My review comes from that perspective. Price was close to 260 euros a night at time of booking. I would recommend staying at one of the many rooms above pubs in the area that are both nicer and cheaper. Pros. Great location. Nice seating area in common area. Cons. Rooms. Nothing nice to say except they were clean. Not even a single bad painting on the wall. Bathrooms. Shower was claustrophobic at best. Breakfast. Area was absolute chaos. Could not accommodate number of guests in hotel. Service. No one at front desk for over 10 minutes for checkout at 7:30 am. Had to leave keys and leave.

We were so excited and booked a garden deluxe room at over $500 a night. When we arrived, the room looked nothing like the pictures. The pictures have a lovely blue and green updated room as the garden deluxe. Our room was old and red and yellow. It is incredibly dated with the exception of the bathroom which appears to be renovated. The carpet is incredibly worn and there is no hvac. Your only option is opening the windows but then you have all the outside noise coming in. When we checked the bed upon arriving at our room we found the bed was completely covered in urine stains. The front desk thankfully promptly replaced our mattress but at $500 a night I would have expected this mattress to be out of circulation long before or housekeeping to catch this. The room was pretty dusty as well. I went to pick up the fan to set it up and my black outfit got completely covered in dust from it. The redemption was all the service we received was prompt and super helpful and they made it right with a new mattress. The breakfast included each day was robust and delicious. Overall, not a bad stay, but it was not worth the premium price they charge.

During our week long adventure around Ireland, we stopped in Killarney and stayed at Scotts Hotel…read morefor two of our nights. Our full experience from the hotel, to the restaurant to the pub was just okay. The hotel has a great location, directly on the main street in Killarney's city center, so location and access to shops, pubs and eateries was top notch. Location was probably our favorite thing about this hotel. While the hotel touts being luxury, it missed the mark for us as we would not describe any of our experience, the outlets and certainly not the rooms as "luxury". The rooms had fairly updated furnishings and a nice bathroom. We were in a room that featured a queen/full and a twin. There was alternative seating and a table, which is always nice and beats having to sit on the bed the entire time in the rooms. I appreciated the functional windows as well. Odd how many hotels do not have AC or windows that can open. The lobby and interior restaurant and bar were quite dated and did not match the overall vibe the rooms and Scotts bar created. Felt very disjointed in overall vibe and decor from public spaces to rooms. Speaking of the interior restaurant and bar, this was our least favorite meal and dining experience while in Killarney. We did breakfast and dinner, both of which were not that great. Food quality and service was lack luster for us. On the flipside, Scotts Bar was pretty solid for a pint and cocktail each night. We always made our way to the bar upon our return to the hotel each night, enjoyed each time we bellied up to the bar. Service at the front desk was also a bit disappointing. Arrival was okay, departure was quick and uneventful, but anytime we needed assistance outside of arrival/departure, it seemed like we were a bother. Situation with getting our of the garage with the provided ticket proved to be more of a hassle than need be. Instead of being assisted, the Front Desk Agent seemed accusatory and dismissive to our claim that the ticket provided was not working. Overall, we enjoyed the location, room and Scotts Bar, everything else was "meh". Biggest win for Scotts Hotel is definitely the location, which in itself makes for a good time when in Killarney. Hopeful they can address the service concerns and give the interior spaces a refresh, as those would both be definite wins.

Looking up different places and reading menus, I decided to give The Failte Hotel a try and overall, it was ok. I walked in on a Saturday evening, around 6:15pm. Going up the stairs to the restaurant, it was large with plenty of tables, a bar, and a few TVs playing. I got a table near the window facing the street with ease. The waitress came over with a menu but I knew what I wanted since I browsed it before walking in. She seemed new though as she wasn't overly friendly and didn't explain that I had to go up to the bar to cash out. Sipping on my pint of Guinness with Black, in what felt like maybe five minutes, my dinner arrived. I ordered the Cajun Chicken Burger, which is a grilled Cajun chicken fillet topped with lettuce, tomato, and red onion with sweet chili mayo between a toasted brioche bun and served with a side of fries. The sandwich was good, nothing really stood out, but that's fine, it had good flavor overall. I liked the spice it had and the side of fries had come fresh out of the fryer as they were very hot and crispy. Overall, a fine experience at The Failte Hotel. The waitress who waited on me seemed new and should have done a better job communicating the cash out process, but no harm done. The food was fine as well, nothing really noteworthy. If I were passing through Killarney again, I wouldn't mind coming back for dinner.

I got a voucher for The Castle Hotel on the back of a Dunnes Stores Reciept. A 2 night stay for 2ppl with breakfast each morning and one evening meal with a bottle of wine for 230euro. On Entering the Hotel on Friday afternoon we were greeted by a lovely lady, very jolly and chatty and couldn't give us enough information. she gave us a tourist map for cork and also a tourist map for the town of Macroom. She gave us all the information we needed about meal times, leisure centre times, the location of everything within the hotel and gave us some suggestions on where to go in the evenings or during the day in the town. The room was lovely, we had a king size bed and a single bed, tea and coffee facilities with my favourite cinnamon biscuits.....its the only reason I stay in Hotels....so yum! :) we also had an ironing board and iron, a telephone, a television with more channels than I would usually expect in a hotel. The only thing I felt was missing from the room was a hairdryer but, most people only stay here for a short time so I suppose they aren't really needed. That's just me being a typical picky woman! :P Oh and the windows were great!!!....nothing I find more irritating than tiny windows looking out at a wall or windows that hardly open an inch! the room had a big window, that opened...wide, it was great :) :) :) Overall I thought the rooms were spotless clean, the beds were very comfortable, the decor was warm and homely and of course ye....the biscuits :)
