“Lovely”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We went on a mid week break on the17th Jan and were pleasantly surprised with the hotel. The fire was lighting in the lobby which was very welcolming as was Gearoid at the desk. Its nice to be greeted with a warm and friendly smile. The room was very clean and warm.We ate in the bistro the first night and the food was fine. We had no complaints about the breakfast. There was a good selection to suit all. I would definitely recommend the hotel and we will be back. It's a ten minute walk into the town, which makes it very convenient to check out the pubs etc. Killarney National park is about a twenty min. walk away. We had a lovely walk to Muckross House which took about an hour. It's definitely the hotel to stay in if you want to be near to everything.

“Not a 4 Star Hotel,Lucky to be 3 Star”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

The lobby is the best part of the hotel, however upon closer inspection the decor is worn and dated. The bed room was tiny for a 4 star, looking out at air con duct. Beyond should have been a view of the famous Killarney Lakes but the fir trees were higher than the hotel.
Was dissapointed as i was expecting more.

“A gem”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

Stayed at this hotel because we were going to aee a show at INEC Killarney. Its about a five minute walk to the venue and about fifteen minutes walk into Killarney town.
Rooms are a good size and very clean, Baths are a bit on the shallow side tho.
The staff are lovely and so helpful.
Our room was very cold, but after mentioning it to Patricia on reception, she sorted it out.
The food in the bar is not great. I ordered a house salad,but the componints on the menu were for a Caeser salad, croutons,bacon lardons etc. When it came there was no bacon and four or five croutons, plus tomatoes and peppers, which were not on the description. However, when I pointed this out,it was recfiied and I was given a complimentry drink. My husband had cod and chips, it was awful. That being said, I would still stay at this hotel again, I would just not eat there.
There is plenty of parking and its very convenient for the Ring of Kerry and Killarney Town. I have to agree with other reviewers, the staff are outstanding.

“AMAZING Hotel”

person found this review helpful

I and three freinds stayed here last week. It was absolutly brilliant! The staff are so lovely! Chris at reception was an absolute dream, he was so willing to help and was so friendly. The rooms were fab! Really comfy beds and the facilities were great! The bar is beautiful and so were the cocktails. :-) Breakfast was gorgeous and again the staff were really really nice and friendly.

This hotel is a definite must for anyone visiting the beautiful town of Killarney. We will definatly be back again and are already looking forward to it.

One word sums it up- AMAZING!
