I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is just perfect, right in the center of Killarney with easy access to all the main sights. The rooms are cozy and have a beautiful view. The service was top-notch, especially the receptionist who went the extra mile to assist me. The dining options were great, with a variety of traditional Irish dishes available. Overall, a wonderful experience with just a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is in a prime location, nestled in the center of Killarney with easy access to all the main sights. The rooms, while with some issues like dirty carpets, provide a full sit-down breakfast with a view at the front of the house. The service, especially from the receptionist, is remarkable, although some improvements could be made. Dining offers many options including traditional Irish dishes but lacks bean options. The facilities are decent overall.

The hotel is ideally situated next to the National Park, offering easy access to Killarney's main attractions. The rooms are spacious and feature a deep soaker tub plus strong water pressure, though the Wi-Fi connectivity could be improved. The service, especially from the receptionist, is top-notch, with assistance readily available for booking taxis and local services. However, the dining options, while varied, could consider additional choices like beans. The location receives a high rating due to its proximity to the city center and major sights. Overall, a lovely stay with a few minor areas for enhancement.
