What guests think

Across many reviews, Hotel Killarney is described as a large, family-friendly hotel with spacious rooms, friendly staff, popular pool and gym, ample parking, and a satisfying breakfast, though its outskirts location means a longer walk into town.

Guests frequently note the lack of air conditioning, with some rooms getting warm and windows opening only slightly. The property is very spread out, and corridors to rooms can be long; noise from children, tours, or nearby areas is mentioned at times. While many find the hotel clean, several report occasional housekeeping lapses, and breakfast or bar service can feel crowded. Expect a comfortable, busy base that suits families and drivers.

Big, comfortable, well appointed hotel. Caters to families, but all kinds of travelers there. Room was spacious, nicely decorated and relaxing. Restaurants were busy the whole time we were there, with great food and service. Leisure centre was wonderful, especially the pool.

We stayed one night at the Hotel Killarney. The location was good with an easy 15 minute walk into the heart of town. Breakfast buffet was included and had pretty extensive offerings. There was plenty of parking in the lot. The hotel is very large and if you have mobility issues I would suggest requesting a room closer to the lobby and elevator banks.

My second stay at Hotel Killarney, and it feels like my home-away-from-home in Killarney. Fantastic staff, huge and nice rooms, great pool and exercise facilities, nice dining and restaurant options, big and good buffet breakfast included, lots of free parking on site. The only downside is that it is about a 30 minute walk to downtown Killarney and there's no shuttle option. But, to be fair, AFAIK, no other hotels runs shuttles to downtown Killarney, and the city doesn’t have any public transport either.

We arrived in our room to find stained bed sheets. We immediately called down and they were very quick to send someone up to replace them. After the porter left, i went to use the bathroom and found pee on seat, hair in toilet bowl. There was also hair in shower as it had not been cleaned either. They gave us another room but horrible first impression. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Hotel restaurant excellent but pricey.

Great place with the best breakfast of the trip. Only downside were the drunks in the parking lot at 02:30 and the smoke. Our room had obviously been smoked in and the folks in the adjoining room smoked off and on as the smoke came around the door seal. If not for the smoke, five stars.

There was a lot of loud activity right outside my window which had to stay open because of how warm it got in the room. I was able to hear a guest in another room coughing all morning.

The property and staff were fabulous! The food was good, but was disappointed in breakfast. My biggest issue was the 30 minute walk to city center. Hotel was just a touch too much out of the way. Also, the hotel was a tour destination, constant flow of buses of tourists loading and unloading outside our window.

Wir hatten ein großes Zimmer mit einem bequemen Bett und konnten das Fenster weit öffnen. Das haben wir als sehr positiv empfunden. Das Frühstück hingegen war negativ. Am ersten Morgen war Schlange stehen angesagt und das Personal war wegen der Menschenmenge überfordert. Die Abgabe einer individuellen Bestellung war schlicht unmöglich. Am zweiter Morgen waren wir deutlich später frühstücken. Das war entspannt, leider wurden viele Waren nicht nachgelegt: es gabt kein Brot mehr sondern nur noch Toast und Marmeladen waren ausgegangen.

Ein riesiges Hotel, an dem wohl seit der Errichtung keine Modernisierung mehr stattgefunden hat. Die Zimmer sind groß und weitestgehend sauber. Für einen Städtetrip, bei dem man eigentlich nur in der Unterkunft schläft, ist es okay. Beim Frühstück gibts das typisch irische Essen. Leider aber keinen Käse oder Gemüse.
