Gleneagle Hotel  

Attached to the inec we came straight out of a show and to our room - great for my young daughter! The view from our room was beautiful - we even saw deeer in the field across from the hotel. Right on the edge of Killarney - close to the town but on the edge of the county!

The hotel is very child friendly

I felt that the hotel was overpriced. This is an old hotel and it shows its age.

I liked the price.

I didn't like being woken up by housekeeping at 8.30am on a Bank Holiday Monday. The tables were very close together in the dining room for breakfast. We had no elbow room at all.

Location and late breakfast

Not enough staff to dish up breakfast..the serving station is a mile too small.Did'nt like having to que and our room no being shouted out..!! A bit like a conveyor belt..

Good facilities - inec choice of restaurants gift shop

No mini bar in room hotel appears to have a bad surface revamp with only minor improvements when walking to our room it was hard not to notice the old skirting boards and halll doors marked and dirty from use over time on our floor all the rooms on the right had newish keycard locks and on our side old fashioned keys. All the doors need to be either sanded and repainted of replaced. The walls were like cardboard with regards to the noise from rooms and all along the corridor around us were awoken several times during the night at rediculous hours by older residents. The bathtub outer panel was cracked, no shower hats curtain rail rusty it was clean but gave the impression of being run down and dirty. After seeing the state of the bathroom. I couldnt help but feel that the fabric above the bed was dusty. It felt more like a retirement home than a hotel. The buffet breakfast was the single worst I have ever had in a hotel selection was very poor little selection yogurts not labeled, no low fat milk or soy milk, no fruit we were not offered any tea/coffee couldn't help but feel rushed by the staff. After staying in Germn hotels we were very dissapointed with the buffet breakfast they cannot be compared. We went to a show in the inec on our stay and was charged full price not residents price when I went back I could see the girl on the desk was doing the same to another guest. The gift shop was handy for snacks seen as there was no mini bar but did not sell any alcoholic bevereges which would have been nice. Little details make a big impression and with little cost could be transformed into a flawless hotel it has all the potential and I'm sure it was once upon a time. It was disheartening to see the hotel it had me wishing I'd stayed in a b&b, I had expected this hotel to be alot more modernised like almost every other hotel I'd stayed in.

The bar was the only good thing about this hotel, reason for that only place that was clean

Everything this hotel is very smelly and dirty, cobwebs on the windows in the rooms also

The gleneagle is a great hotel. Loads of entertainemt either in the inec or the ball room. Also a band started at 12 midnight in the residents bar. The rooms have been updated since I was last here and are much better now. There is a leisure centre and spa

The breakfast was 15 euro each extra so we just booked room only and had breakfast in killarney town for 6 euro!

Near national park in Killarney. Large main swimming pool and children's swimming pool.

Pool changing room facilities poor. No togs spinner. Guests have to pay to hire towels at pool. No lockers available. Poor internal signage in hotel.

They had a baby room with bottle steriliser and changer (however, it wasn't cleaned while I was there and the kettle for boiling water was missing)

Food was terrible, teen room was closed, rooms were cold

The location is great, just outside the town which is great if you have kids and don't want to hear the hustle and bustle of the town. Good for families with a great teen zone room for the kids to hang out in the evening. Lots of little activities to fill up the day also, such as squash, tennis, pitch and putt etc. The pool was a good size too for children, kiddies pool was a decent size also. Would recommend and stay again!

Layout of the hotel is very awkward as a result of multiple extensions. Finding the pool on the first day was an adventure, we could see it but couldn't figure out how to get to it. A few signs would of helped. The hotel is dated and sections need refurbishment, the bedrooms are getting a little tired but for price and facilities you can't grumble too much!

Food entertainment and swimming pool.

Unable to receive internet access in oue bedroom.

it was a great place to base urself to take in the views of killarney,the entertainment at night was 1st class and great rates for residents.the food and the choice of food was excellent.the staff were very pleasent and helpful.in all it was a great break with my family and will return soon to the gleneagles.
