“Do not trust these people!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

I have stated January 2011 on this, as it doesn't go back any further but its been a few years since I stayed here. I am not surprised at "defrimated"'s view below. When I got home I found I had left my hairdryer behind at the guesthouse. I found it hard to believe I wouldn't have seen it when I was packing as it was a big yoke with a diffuser attached. I telephoned them immediately and was told there was no sign of the hairdryer. I left my no. and asked them to phone me if it turned up. I telephoned them again at a later date and was told still no sign. I began to think someone must have entered the room while we were at breakfast and took it. I then wrote them a letter pleading with them to look for it again, that it was of no monetary value but had sentimental value for me as it had been a 21st gift, and asked them to phone me once they found it and I would go and pick it up. About two days later it arrived at my house by COD in two packages and I was expected to fork out almost €40 for it. I refused delivery and it went back! I then called into the guesthouse a few days later and met the proprietor/manager who "showed" me the hairdryer but refused to hand it over without the €40. I argued that I didn't ask for it to be sent by COD and would have picked it up once they phoned me like I had asked. And thats where the story ends. I never got my property back.

“Basic and only so-so”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

My family and I stayed in their Family Room for 2 nights. The beds were fine and the bathroom was clean, but the carpet was old, stained and felt dusty and grubby under our feet. A full Irish breakfast was included and they were generous enough with proportions. All in all, though, we would not stay there again as there was nothing very appealing about it. For a similar price, we could have stayed in nicer places.

Room Tip: Would not recommend the Family Room.

The Castlelodge Guesthouse provided a wonderful stay. The room, and entire place, was clean, bright and homey. The staff was exceptional -- always warm and offering their help. They booked my tours the evening before, and were always willing to take an extra step to assure a comfortable stay for me. The Castlelodge is ideally located, short minutes from the center of town. The pricing was superb and I would definitely stay there again. Thanks for a great stay!

“Great Killarney bargain”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 April 2011

people found this review helpful

Since Killarney is a major tourist town it offers all types of accommodations from rural B & Bs to upscale hotels, but I found a real gem in the Castlelodge Guesthouse. I paid 35 euros per night for my two-night stay in late March and that included a full Irish breakfast.
I had requested a quiet room and was given a ground floor room at the end of the corridor overlooking the garden and it was huge by European standards with one queen and one single bed. Breakfast is served at 8 am, but they happily provided an earlier breakfast when I mentioned I'd like to get an early start one morning.

The hotel has a nice lounge off the lobby, a garden with outdoor tables and seating, and a large car park out front. It is located on a main road so it's easy to get to, but the front rooms might get some traffic noise so request a room in back. Next door is a petrol station with a convenience store and an off-license (liquor) store. It's a two-minute walk to the Muckross Park and a five- minute walk to the center of town. I'm glad I chose this location as it avoided having me drive into the narrow town center streets or have to try to find parking.
