Killarney Oaks Hotel

Went for dinner with my family for a birthday recently and had a wonderful experience there. Michelle was my server for the afternoon and she really made our night from start to finish. All the staff were amazing and were very attentive. Will definitely be returning!!

We stopped to have sunday lunch. The young girl acting as the maitre de for the bar/restaurant was the most impolite girl I have met. She didn't even greet us. She just looked at us and said yea? We left and went to Murphys in town and had a lovely dinner/lunch and the staff was super.

This is a very nice hotel, well maintained, excellent rooms, but tiny bathrooms with washbasins dating back to two centuries ago: two separate fawcets! The bar is good and food is nice as well. Staff friendliness is something that still has to be invented though

So we stayed last night for 1 night. Checked in and the room was just lovely. Very well decorated and you could tell a lot of thought went into the design. Overall it is a lovely hotel. Great lobby very nice bar. We dined in the bar last night and the food and service were excellent. Not a single issue. Staff could not have been nicer. However this morning was not so good. We looked forward to a lovely breakfast considering our experience the night before with the excellent food in the bar. The breakfast was shocking to say the least. We went for breakfast at 09.30. So the cold offerings were fine .But the hot buffet was obviously not been checked by anyone. The hash browns were overcooked and inedible. The fried egg tray was empty, scrambled eggs were , again , inedible they had been there so long. Sausages were over cooked and only barely warm. I did have 2 sausage as there was really no other option. Also no mushrooms in the tray. It wasn't that they were short staffed. They had 4 or 5 servers so for me no excuse. One of the staff should have the responsibility to monitor the buffet. I did mention this at checkout, They say your last impression of a hotel will be its breakfast prior to checkout. Not at all good on this occasion . My wife and I are retired and we stay in hotels 2 or 3 times a month .We dont expect perfection all the time but with the rates people are now paying for hotel stays a good breakfast in the least we can expect. This will explain the 3 star rating

If you want to experience a top class dining experience, with every morsel delighting your taste buds, created and presented by brilliantly trained staff, whose care, kindness and attention to detail was second to none, in a spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated venue, then The Killarney Oaks Hotel is a destination you have to put on the top of your travel plans. With stunning mountain views, situated on the Muckross Road in Killarney, you could not ask for a better setting. The welcome by staff at the reception desk, in the bar and restaurant, does not alone do justice to the warm welcome of Kerry, but of Ireland... absolutely outstanding is all that can be said.

Once again the staff were amazing at this hotel, the hotel itself is a beautiful place to stay, Ana in the restaurant was so helpful as were all the staff, I would definitely recommend this hotel and I hope to stay there again in the near future...I had 20 German guests also staying at the hotel and they were all of the same opinion....Fantastic....well done guys..
