What guests think

International Hotel Killarney is widely appreciated for its walkable, town-center location and warm, attentive staff, with many guests finding the rooms comfortable in a traditional style and the on-site dining and bar a reliable highlight of their stay.

Housekeeping and overall cleanliness receive frequent praise, though a few guests reported issues such as stained linens or musty bathrooms. A recurring drawback is parking: there is no on-site drop-off, and guests typically use public lots a short walk away, which can be inconvenient with luggage. Other common cautions include rooms without air conditioning that can feel warm, some noise from thin walls or the street, and internal stairs or long corridors that complicate access to certain rooms. Best suited to travelers who value charm and convenience over modern uniformity.

Facilities

On-site bar and restaurant draw positive feedback and there is a comfortable lounge. Parking is off site in public lots with no curbside drop-off, so arriving by car and handling luggage can be inconvenient.

no parking, need to pay for parking in a nearby parking lot, but with 2 large suitcases, 3 mins walking is not close

Parking is not close to hotel. About a 10 min walk. There is no way to pull car up and unload bags. So don’t book this hotel if you can’t get your luggage down very bumpy sidewalk for ten min walk. Hotel walls are so thin you hear snoring of neighboring rooms and everyone walking down hallways. Wonderful hotel, wonderful staff, but they can’t improve these noise and parking problems.

Unfortunately arrived when a carnival was in town, which took over the public parking lot closest to the hotel. The hotel doesn't have its own parking area. Short walk to main street of shops and restaurants. Very clean hotel with excellent staff.

Everything you need is within walking distance from the hotel. The parking is down the road within walking distance as well. Unfortunately you do have to pay by day other hotels in Ireland stamped our parking so we didn’t have to pay. A full day is 10 euro so make sure to prepar for that.

It was a great hotel with a great location. Although arriving with a car and luggage is Not convenient. There is absolutely no area out the front to stop, you need to park a block or so away and bring your luggage from there. Had I known prior, I would not have booked here, it made for a tense start to an otherwise good stay.

This was our worse stay in Ireland. The staff was stuffy and curt. The room wasnt very clean. Room was hot and we couldnt keep window open as a street light blared through window. No waters were in the room. I had to go to front desk in the middle of night to get water since we were blazing. Halways smelt terrible. I wouldn't have complained but upon check out I was accidentally booked 2 nights, we checked out on time for a 1 night. Expedia called to get a refund on the extra night like the front desk told me to do. The management refused due to a 48 hour cancelation policy, but we booked the room the same day how could we cancel any sooner? The hotel was full and we checked out with plenty of time for them to sell the rooms that night. Crooks! The only bright spot was the restaurant attached which had good food.

Beautiful, impeccably clean hotel. I felt like Kate Middleton walking around this fancy hotel, and it’s not even expensive. Can’t beat the location, and it’s also a 7-minute walk to the train station which is why we booked it. Cons: small rooms, and no property parking lot.

Wonderful location. The room was small and did not have a/c, but they do provide a fan and the window could be opened. With the cool temperatures in Killarney, we were quite comfortable. I read reviews that the walls were paper thin, but we never heard a peep. Lovely breakfast each morning. All in all, we were very pleased.

Not a bad experience. Staff was great, hotel lobby and room were clean. There is shopping, coffee, and food right next door. Property is close to several other restaurants and attractions in the area that you can walk to. The only problem is that everything is very old. I felt like I was staying at the hotel in the movie the shining. Rooms and bathrooms are straight from the 1970’s. Like I said, not a bad experience but everything does need to be renovated.

Excellent front desk staff. Went out of the way to deliver toast, juice etc.to our room at midnight . We had been at the emergency dept.in Tralee for hours due to an accident early in afternoon and had no opportunity to eat dinner. The delivered tray of food was very much appreciated. We ate one meal in the pub which we enjoyed. Very good service. Each morning we enjoyed breakfast in the large breakfast room. We loved the porridge and the granola/yogourt/berries. Only complaints ..it is an older hotel and the hallways are like navigating a maze ! Also, climbing in to very tall bathtub to shower with an injured knee was tricky. Wish the rooms had walk in showers.
