What guests think

Travellers describe Gleneagle Killarney as a large, lively hotel with nightly entertainment and handy amenities, well placed for Killarney town and nearby sights, and staffed by friendly people who keep check in smooth and make stays feel welcoming.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable, with some balconies and mountain views, but several guests note dated fittings, occasional maintenance issues, warm temperatures, or noise when the hotel is busy. Breakfast and on-site dining are often enjoyed, though experiences vary: queues and time slots can feel chaotic, some pastries or toast disappoint, and a few find limited choices or high prices, while others praise dinners and variety. The location works well for exploring the National Park and Ring of Kerry, with shuttles helping if the walk to town feels long. Expect a practical base for exploring the area.

The Gleneagle is the perfect place to stay for a short break, fantastic entertainment every night which is free for residents, you don't have to leave the hotel and you can have a great time as everything is on site. The rooms are clean and comfortable and the food is very good I will certainly be going back.

Beautiful hotel with excellent entertainment! However Bar service was poor. When we checked in we were asked to book our breakfast which was already paid for. We booked the breakfast for 10:30am. When we arrived for breakfast at 10;30 there was a queue of almost 50 people ahead of us. As we had arrangements made for 12 in town we had no choice but to leave. Very disappointing after paying for it. I would assume after the receptionist insisting we make the reservation that we would not have to join the queue. The hotel was very clean and welcoming.

Lovely hotel friendly staff stored my luggage until room was ready. Great food. Even though they have 2 bars with live music and the arena next door, the rooms were far enough away not to hear anything bhai I would definately come again

Room was spacious with a balcony with a good view beyond the car park. 30 minutes walk to town but there is a shuttle bus which is free for the first and last days and 2 euro inbetween. Check in at 4pm is a little late though they do offer luggage storage. Staff worked hard and were pleasant. The breakfast was a little manic. You are asked for a rough estimate of your preferred breakfast time but there tends to be a queue regardless. It was suggested I go to a different part of the hotel on the first morning for breakfast and that place was a little less crowded. The other two days were fine, just not for those who want a peaceful start to the day. It was only on my final day I realised the waiting staff offer teas and coffees. The reception area is pleasant and there are activities and events in other parts of the complex for which admission for guests may be free. The corridors are a bit functional for a relatively expensive hotel; narrow and unadorned. Nice though to have water dispensers and a jug on each floor though the selection of teas is the room was not extensive. Coffee lovers catered for better.

Very pleased with the room, comfy bed, good walk in shower, and lovely balcony with mountain views. As we had had a long day we decided to eat in the hotel in the bar. Service very slow to start, menu was very poor choice. Had to resort to a soup and chowder but both were good. Dessert choice very poor. Breakfast very good although a little too chaotic for my liking. Overall a good stay and will return but would eat elsewhere

The hotel seemed over priced for the quality of the stay. Most staff seemed rushed. The rooms were mediocre. Toilets didnt flush, shower leaked all over the floor. We were originally given a handicap accessible room. When asked the switch in order to have a shower/bath we were accommodated. For the price paid, i would think twice before booking a stay again Side note, the food & bar service were extraordinary. We had two great dinners!

After getting dropped off to the hotel, the check in process was easy. Our room was wonderful and spacious and plenty of pillows and extra bedding. Room temperature was ideal and love the tea and coffee facilities. There was entertainment (the reason we booked) and loved both shows that we saw. Shout out to Brendan Shine and Emily! We did not partake in the evening meal as we ate out BUT the breakfast was delicious - So much choice and cooked breakfast tasty - Try the potato farls. Only downside was the toast being a little cold.

Booked this hotel with short notice, because of work. I booked b and b. I had to leave early next morning, again because of work. The receptionist told me they could not fit me in for breakfast at that time, so that was that, off to work with no breakie. I though, with the size of the hotel they could fit one more person.

The accommodations were fine but the restaurant was lacking. The food was not very good overall and the prices/set meal structure was by far the most expensive we encountered on our 2 week trip. We ate at restaurants in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh and not only was the food much better it was actually more fairly priced. Last, the hotel seemed to be family vs couple focused which is fine if traveling with children. We weren’t but the info may be helpful for other travelers if seeking a couples get away or the reverse.
