I wavered back and forth on if I should rate this hotel 4 or 5 stars. There were some small misses…read morebut overall somethings that I really liked and that I felt they got right, so for that I can give them 5 stars. I just note it was close. The Muckross Park Hotel is prime location when staying in Killarney. I loved that Muckross house was literally across the street and walkable (under 30 minutes since the house is deep into the property). But the proper gate to get into the grounds is right across though and that was perfect. The national park with the famous waterfall is also super close. If you want to get into downtown Killarney with the shops and restaurants is also an easy 10 minute taxi. So for that location is key here. I would also say staff were very friendly and hospitable. We were always welcomed coming in and out. Front desk never had long lines for a quick question. The gentlemen working the tourist desk were also friendly and helpful. The rooms were more like 4 stars in my opinion. A little outdated but we had a good view of the entrance which was pretty. The bed was a little too hard for me but some might like that. Bathrooms were nice though. Kind of a toss up on what I liked and didn't like in the rooms. We only got room service one night but the food was really good! Surprisingly we had a really good cheeseburger. There is a 12 euro charge for them to bring room service to you but that's basically the tax and tip so we didn't mind much. Heard one gal complain at the front desk which is why I note it. However, they disclosed this over the phone when you call for room service so I felt it was transparent. The biggest reason for giving this hotel 5 stars is the spa and spa area are fabulous for the most part. Maybe more so I should say the massages are amazing! I had Natascha who gave me the best message I can remember. She really focused on my feet and legs which felt so good after travels and walking. Most places skimp on this area even when I ask for more attention there but not her, she was amazing! Also the price seemed reasonable for the amenities and how great my message was. I'm telling you if you are getting a massage here definitely ask for her, so kind and wonderful at her trade. My only complaints with the spa department were how cringe the bathrobe situation was lol. Unless you are a man or women size medium or smaller you definitely won't be able to fit into the robes they offer at the spa. For me and so many others there was no way to close your robe completely. I saw a lot of flashing happen lol. Had I not been wearing undies (sorry TMI) I literally would have been majorly miffed to have to either just wing it or go back up to my room to change. So strange, I've never been to a spa that didn't offer variation of robe sizes. Okay I harped on enough about that but just wanted guests to be aware or hopefully for spa management to make those changes. Again, though the massage was 10/10 so it was all worth it.

Ahh!! We had the best time staying at The Ross in Killarney. This magical hotel is located in the…read morebest possible location; right in the town center and across from the National Park. The reception staff and everyone we encountered were an absolute pleasure and the hotel is so immaculately decorated. It has a trendy, fun restaurant that gets super busy so make a reservation if you plan on stopping in. It also has another restaurant in the cellar that we didn't get a chance to check out. The rooms are clean and cozy with a generous bathroom. I would definitely come back to The Ross if in Killarney again.

Upon arrival, we were greeted with coffee and tea (and with puppy snuggles from Roma!); Mary was also quick to give us a short orientation of where we were located, recommended hikes in the national park and more. She was also incredibly helpful in helping us get reservations for our grandmother's 80th birthday. (Including recommendations on where to get a cake and balloons in town!) The location itself is fantastic - you can walk to a few short hikes - and you're only a short drive from some of the more popular hikes in Killarney National park. Then, you're only five or so minutes from downtown Killarney and a variety of restaurants, pubs, and entertainment. The rooms were clean and large! I don't know what sheets they use, but they were so comfortable and soft. They cleaned the rooms once a day. The breakfast was absolutely delicious! First, there is always a cold buffet - with granola, cereal, various fruits and pastries. The scones and jam were my absolute favorite! Then, there is also a hot menu to order from, which includes a full Irish breakfast, crepes, banana fritters, and more. We were the only people staying, so they didn't have an issue with us monopolizing the sitting room late at night, playing games and enjoying drinks. Overall, fantastic service, an adorable place, and a wonderful stay!

John took the time to tell us about all of our options while in Killarney, and his suggestion for the day trip to Gap of Dunloe ended up being my favorite part of our trip! Breakfast was delicious, and Bridget, the waitress, was very helpful in providing us directions. The location is a little off the beaten path, not really walking distance to bars and restaurants but only a 5 min drive. I personally loved how quiet it was, and the views are amazing! My only small complaint is that the room felt a little damp, probably because of the weather.

The hotel itself feels warm and sophisticated with many areas to take a seat and relax near a fireplace or in a quieter area. This is a great destination for rejuvenation and restoration. The restaurant near the lobby is exceptional with meticulous attention to every detail of service, though you may need a reservation. The presentation of food and allergens are neatly detailed for every offering with many gluten free options. The food was delicious and perfectly prepared and the service exceptional. The room itself is very well appointed and laid out in one of the most travel friendly designs I have seen. A desk, a seating area with a table to enjoy your morning beverage by the window, a refrigerator neatly hidden under the television. A closet with ample space but also a shelf to organize your travel items and clothing on the other side of the room wall so things stay neatly out of site. Thank you to the designer of this room! Robes and slippers for two placed at the foot of the bed. A nice size Tv and coffee or tea service at the desk. The bathroom includes both a shower and a comfortable size bathtub. The hotel also offers a nice bar downstairs and please consider making a spa appointment to enhance your experience. If you are in the area, this is the place to stay.

-- "Exceptional hospitality and comfort at the Randles Townhouse"…read moreI stayed at the Randles Townhouse and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hospitality was outstanding from the moment I arrived -- warm greetings, helpful staff, and the kind of genuine Irish welcome that instantly makes you feel at home. The townhouse itself is beautiful, with a cozy, boutique feel. My room was spotless, spacious, and very comfortable, with classic décor and a relaxing atmosphere. It was the perfect place to unwind after exploring Killarney. The location is fantastic -- just a short walk into town and close to Killarney National Park. If you're looking for a stay that blends comfort, charm, and truly great hospitality, the Randles Townhouse is an excellent choice. I would absolutely stay here again.

Parking was included and no extra charge. Perhaps because it was off-season or because we were not staying very long we were upgraded from our woods view room to a Lakeview room. We had a balcony on the top floor that overlooks the lake and some ruins, and it was absolutely stunning. We could watch the deer from our balcony. The room was quite large and had an American sized king bed, and a second bed that was somewhere between an American twin size and an American full-size, a perfect set up for my family of 3. There was also a sitting area and a tea and coffee maker. We did not have dinner at the hotel, but we did have breakfast and it was excellent. There was some thing for everyone in my family. My husband enjoyed the salmon, quiche and sausages. I enjoyed the pancakes and the fun little pancake maker. I also enjoyed the French toast. My little one loved the scrambled eggs and pastries. Overall, we had an excellent stay and I would definitely recommend it. .

The presentation was impeccable and the food was delicious. My only complaint was my steak was over cooked and was more like a well done instead of medium temperature. Would definitely stay here again and recommend the property!

I was welcomed with a lovely chat over tea and a scone by the innkeeper Rosaleen O'Leary! I really appreciated her taking time to get to know me and share her thoughts on Irish history and culture.

My stay included a complete hot Irish breakfast with lots of coffee, eggs and Irish bacon - similar to a fried ham. Mmmm. I enjoyed a morning walk down the road to Ross Castle, which I highly recommend. Who knew the advancements in medieval architecture and defense? Ross Castle Lodge B&B is adjacent to the Killarney National Park, and one may walk through the park to get to the 'town' of Killarney where you'll find lots of restaurants, pubs & shops.

*This review pertains to International Hotel Killarney's dinner ONLY!…read more Part of tour group going around Ireland, we stayed at International Hotel Killarney for two nights and had various meals here. Their dinner menu was excellent! From their dinner menu, I started with the Bacon and Pear Salad. This salad is slices of caramelized William pear, cubes of creamy Feta cheese, crisp bacon, all lightly dressed in Irish honey & wholegrain mustard vinaigrette. This was a delicious starter before the main course, the vinaigrette was excellent! For dinner, I went with the Hannigan's Classic Beef Burger, which is prime Irish beef topped with smoked cheddar cheese, Irish bacon, on homemade pickled cucumber, lettuce, and tangy relish, served with a side of French Fries. This burger was great, cooked perfectly and the Irish bacon on top along with the tangy relish elevated this burger. For dessert, I went with the Bread & Butter Pudding with vanilla ice cream & Anglaise sauce. This was so good; the vanilla ice cream was incredibly creamy and the sauce on the bread pudding sets it apart from others I've had before!

We booked a twin room for 3 nights but I accidentally put down 1 guest instead of two (no price difference, just an accidental oversight). On night 2 we came back from a wedding at 4.30am ready for a night's sleep and recovery. The night porter Afrim was nasty and aggressive to both of us, saying that since we had only mentioned 1 person on the booking, only I could come in. He refused to let us go up to the room we had paid for and had our bags in, and was insulting to my girlfriend and suggested she walk the streets for a few hours till the day staff arrived. He continued to escalate and got verbally aggressive. Eventually we had to leave and walk through Killarney at 5am desperately trying to find a hotel, which was really unsafe. The next day the hotel manager couldn't care less about our issues. She claimed that she couldn't see the security videos to confirm the night porter's aggressive behavior, and refused to refund the payment for the previous night despite us not being allowed to use the room. I asked to speak to the general manager and was told she would call the next day - it's been two weeks, and I've had no contact and no refund for the night we were excluded.
