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 A little outdated but we had a good view of the entrance which was pretty.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.

Victorian decor , an old fireplace... The gal that checked us in sat at a table on the right, was super sweet, and gave us our keys. Parking was easy and no issues. Our room was in the Coach House, a separate building from the hotel. Must stay in Room 1 !!! A beautiful landscaped courtyard lead to our room. Our room was spacious and filled with antique furniture.. I love antiques. We had our private patio space with patio furniture and with the most scenic emerald green views! And views of a field of sheep : ) What was really nice...our huge bathroom. Annnnnd it had heated floors and a heated towel rack, a spacious shower, separate tub, and a vanity table. Appreciated the complimentary book provided regarding the history of the hotel, complimentary water, and bike rentals (wish we had time to utilize the bikes!) The breakfast room was a nice addition. There was a mini buffet ( just a few items like fruit, granola, etc) and a made to order menu. Food was just ok. The hotel does have a high end restaurant- must make reservation, and a casual bar restaurant. Perusing the hotel lobby and adjacent rooms were lovely. Wish we had more time here. Killarney National Park was nearby and within walking distance. We walked to and from and within the entire park, and booked in 11 miles!!! A beautiful space and fun town to visit, near the Ring of Kerry.

As a very seasoned lifelong traveler, I CAN NOT recommend this place enough!

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.

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. .

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!

The minute you swing open the heavy wooden door, and step into the dramatic entryway, you are practically transported to Ireland in the1800's. We arrived to meet our charming host Eileen, an absolute sweetheart who bent over backwards to make our stay inviting and memorable! Our room was perfect: clean, cozy, and homey. There was a hair drier, coffee and tea service in the room, and wi-fi (though somewhat spotty and slow reception). The parlor down stairs is stunning to behold: richly upholstered chairs and couches, antique curios, old paintings on an elegant backdrop of period wallpapering. It is an absolutely classic Victorian Irish home. The b&b is only a brisk 10 minute walk to the breathtaking Kilarney National Park and a small bike rental shop, and a quick cab ride away from the downtown area. Unfortunately, our train was rather early in the morning, and while Eileen did her best to get us a little breakfast (mind you, while waiting on 5 other tables in her fabulous dining room) we simply did not have enough time to enjoy her full Irish breakfast. She efficiently brought out our coffee (one pot caffeinated, one decaffeinated for my cousin) Irish porridge, toast and rolls, and delicious berry pancakes before we were whisked aware by our taxi.
