Gleneagle Hotel, Killarney

Advantages: Quality hotel, good service and food
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I've been a regular visitor to Kilarney town for a number of years and was delighted to stay in this newly built hotel on the outskirts of town. The hotel is located next to the INEC concert venue and is within a 15 minute walk to the town. The exterior of the building is impressive with a slight ski chalet look. The interior is just as impressive with acres of wood and marble abound. Hotel staff were friendly and efficent throughout my stay. The bedrooms were tastfully decorated and extremely clean. My only gripe would be the absence of tea making facilities in the rooms which is what you would expect in a 4 star hotel. I ate in the bar once and thought the food was quite good and breakfasts were equally as good. My partner available of the numerous spa treatments available and graded them as "superb"....

Advantages: Fantastic facilities, services and views
Disadvantages: Expensive,

...I'm not much of a hotel person. Give me a B&B anyday. In my experience most are cold, impersonal and the facilities often sound better on paper than they are in real life. Gleneagles is different. Like any 5 star, luxury hotel Gleneagles has a lot to offer - luxury en suite rooms, top class restaurants (one with Michlin stars), sports facilities and the usual slew of services. What other hotels don't have is a choice of 4 world class gold courses, on site activities such as archery, shooting, off-road driving (suitable for kids), falconry, a maze, a wide range of sports facitilities such as tennis courts and mountain bikes. Most of my time there was spent in the luxurious Spa, which included a lap pool, a general 'fun' pool, jaccuzzi, jet pool and outdoor hot pool, steam room, sauna and plenty of loungers just to laze around...
