Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel room was lovely and clean with a nice view of the road. The breakfast was very nice. However, some items were not replaced, like milk and tea bags. The room location was not ideal as it was in front of the air conditioning system on the roof and overlooking the car park.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with some charming old-style furniture, but there were noticeable cleanliness issues in the bathroom like stained surfaces and a cracked sink. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and helpful staff offering efficient assistance, but the dining experience was a bit hit or miss. The location was convenient, within walking distance to town and various tourist attractions. Overall, a pleasant stay with room for improvement.
The hotel's rooms were a bit outdated and dark, making me want to spend more time outside, but they were comfortable enough. The place is beautiful overall. The service was fantastic, with the staff being really helpful and friendly. The location was good, being near the National Park and Killarney Town. The dining experience was lovely, with fresh food and an ideal location for walking into town.
My stay at this lovely hotel was fantastic overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and I couldn't fault anything about my experience. The service was friendly and knowledgeable, making my time even more enjoyable. The location was superb, offering easy access to all that Killarney has to offer. However, the dining options were a bit limited and not worth the high price.
The hotel could use some improvements in management and ventilation but is okay for a short stay. The staff are friendly and helpful, but some issues with mask enforcement were noted. The location is convenient for accessing the town but lacks a cozy atmosphere. The dining experience offers good quality food but may require an additional fee. Overall, it's a decent place to stay with room for enhancement.
