Drinks are cheap and talking to the locals and having a blast seems almost guaranteed. I'm not sure what the "pony" reviewer did but this place couldn't be more friendly.

We were seated in a small room across from the windows. It would have been nice to be next to the windows, but there's only so many windows. Our server was pleasant and respectful. We ordered right away. The server brought complimentary breads with a delicious olive tapenade. I ordered the seafood paparadelle. The dish was unfortunately on the bland side but the seafood was cooked appropriately. My husband had the duck breast and enjoyed it. They finished the meal with cute little complimentary doughnuts. Nice touch. During our meal we had told the server that it was incredibly warm in the restaurant. He told us that someone had told him the same thing the night before and the manager said "this time of year we have to run the heat". Ugh. In one of the tables across from us, we watched a woman mopping sweat off her forehead several times. We had planned on a second drink, but it was much too hot.

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.

We were also treated to a complimentary sample of sweets in celebration of our honeymoon. The Malton does "historical hotel" right. It successfully achieves an elegant and vintage atmosphere without seeming "dated." The building itself makes a memorable impression covered in ivy surrounded by beautiful gardens. The Malton is an oasis in the heart of Killarney - within walking distance of all the shops and pubs. The room was gorgeous and the bathroom was supplied with modern amenities that still kept that classic touch. It's worth noting that the hotel does not have air conditioning, but we still found our room to be comfortable. Our only complaint about the room is that it is a little noisy (because of its location about the entrance, no doubt.) Breakfast included the typical array of pastries, meats, and cheeses, but also featured a made-to-order hot food menu with ample variety. The Belgian waffle was worth noting - it was coated in cinnamon and every bite was scrumptious. (It's a bit small though - order 2!) Unfortunately, the restaurant is not managed very well during breakfast. You must wait to be seated by a host, who may then take your order for coffee/tea and toast to pass along to your server - which really slows the seating process. The dining room is tightly packed, making it a little difficult for wheelchairs or strollers to maneuver. (Even on foot, winding your way to the buffet can be difficult.) One thing I wish we had done, but didn't have time - the Malton's wine tasting room!

Three lattes with scones later in an elegant lounge area reeking with character as a former Great Southern railway hotel, we moseyed off to our meeting resolving unanimously to return for lunch before our afternoon train if time permitted. Which it duly did. Steak sandwiches for two and salad for the sad vegetarian were deemed excellent. As it was Friday and we'd had a productive meeting I awarded myself a beer. At 2 in the afternoon. Such decadence. Thus replenished we boarded our train back to the shmoke. If the rest of the hotel is anything like the food in the restaurant I will definitely stay here should the opportunity present. Excellent.

I know it's recently been renovated so maybe that's why. The lobby and downstairs areas were elegant and the rooms were huge. The location of this hotel is perfect. Killarney is a small quaint town and it's an easy walk from the hotel. Parking here is a bit of a challenge, but not too bad. The Irish breakfast was delicious. I loved the porridge served with fruit and fresh honey. We also had wine at the bar in the evening which was very nice. If you're visiting Killarney. the Great Southern Hotel is a great choice to stay at!
