All in all a lovely family run hotel in killarney, spacious rooms, excellent breakfast and extremely helpful staff. The bar is a centre of activity for both visitors and locals with reasonable food, and some great sports memorabilia.

I had low expectations for this hotel due to other guests reviews but when we arrived, I was pleased. We were in Killarney for the Irish Open and the Taste of Killarney festival so planned to spend very little time @ the hotel. Great location and clean room etc. Nice foyer and a lift which arrived quickly when called. Breakfast... More

Great central location, amazing breakfast, perfect Irish pub. As you might expect, the pub/local streets get busy during high profile sporting events (Rory's US Open win, the Cork/Kerry football game, etc.), That's all part of the Irish experience. Tony was a wonderful host--he graciously helped us haul (too much!) luggage to four rooms and prepared a continental breakfast tray for... More

I stayed here with my family. The hotel was in the centre of Killarney. It was close to all the facilities we needed. The staff were very friendly and helpful. There was a nice homely feel to the hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is built on top of a pub and is in dire need of re-renovation. The door in our en-suite bathroom didn't fit, leaving a half-inch gap down the side, the shower didn't work (no water at all) the restaurant was closed - the pub was full of noisy yobs, the nearest (paying) car park is 100 yds away...

My brother and sister stayed here for a family wedding near by and had the most positive experience. The owners Tony and Pauline aided by their daughter Kelly Ann were superb hosts, the staff Kevin, Ronnie and Marie waiting on us hand and foot and nothing was a problem eg; late breakfast, organising golf, dropping us to other venues in...

We had a great room - clean and spacious. The hotel was charming and comfortable and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Tom McSweeney even helped us with our car rental. There is internet available on site, although it was quite slow. The breakfast was fabulous - probably the best of the trip. There were plenty of choices, and... More
