The Lake Hotel Killarney

The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent
"The view from the Lake Hotel is absolutely stunning, overlooking Lough Leane and the Killarney National park. There are beautiful hikes from the hotel such as to Torc waterfall and Muckross House nearby. The breakfast and dining options were exceptional and with that view every meal was an experience! All the staff that we encountered were friendly and helpful. We will definitely return when we are back in Killarney again."

Clayton Hotel Cork City

Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"The room was very spacious and felt premium. However, one of the curtains was damaged, and there was a large stain on the carpet. Though this was only minor as they were only slight cosmetic issues. The biggest issue was the air-conditioning as it barely even worked. We actually found it was more cooling to open the window. If you’re booking because their air conditioning I recommend you book elsewhere. Overall, it was really nice, and the restaurant was also great, I recommend you get the chocolate orange pudding. Also, remember to bring a swim cap as they require it at the pool. They do have swim caps for purchase for €4 if you don’t pack one as well."
