Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel is amazing! It's so close to all the bars and everything you need, right in the center of town. The rooms are super clean with great air conditioning, but the service could use a little boost. It's a fantastic spot for the price.
The hotel is nice if you don't mind the live music from the pub. It's super central and near everything, but you might find it a bit noisy due to all the bars. The rooms are very clean, but the dining could be better. The location is great, though, right in the center of town. I found the service alright, just not exceptional.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, close to everything you need and right in the center of town. The rooms were kept very clean and the staff was so friendly. The dining experience was top-notch with refined dishes, but the price was a bit on the higher side. Overall, a great value for the money.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were kept very clean and the staff members were always ready to assist. The central location was great, although it could get a bit noisy due to live music in the nearby pub. The dining experience was fantastic with a delicious pancake platter included. Overall, a great value for money option with some minor noise concerns.
I couldn't have asked for a better location! The hotel is right in the center of Killarney, putting me in the heart of the town action. The rooms were spotless, and the service was top-notch. On the downside, the dining experience was average, and some facilities seemed outdated.
