Ahh!! We had the best time staying at The Ross in Killarney. This magical hotel is located in the best 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. read more

Nice boutique hotel in a fantastic location with friendly staff. A bit difficult to find at initial check-in. I would recommend this hotel.

Loved this hotel! Highly recommend. Great location near the town center. Our room was a suite. We didn't ask for this so that was a welcome surprise. Parking and amenities available to guests at the Killarney Park Hotel also which was a bonus. read more

I don't feel like this hotel gets enough love. My husband and I booked this hotel last minute even though I was reluctant due to lack of reviews. The young lady at the front desk was extremely kind and helpful with our last minute booking and went well above and beyond to help us with our reservation. The hotel and our room was extremely clean, comfortable and very trendy. We were expecting a continental breakfast since breakfast came with the room, but we were pleasantly surprised when given a menu with a variety things to order. The food was good, our sever David was a pleasure to chat with and the setting was beautiful. I give it a 10/10 and would recommend to a friend. read more

This Lane restaurant in the Ross Hotel is outstanding! Visited in June of 2023 and the service was outstanding and the food was delicious!! I'd go back if I had more time. Thursday Night had a special with Tacos and Margaritas read more

Great hotel located in the center of everything. From here it's a short walking distance to restaurants, the deros tour bus pickup spot, the Celtic steps show, and Ross castle. You've got everything you need within walking. The hotel itself is well kept, clean, quiet, and comfy. The staff were also helpful and accommodating. I recommend you check out the hotel's website and see the adorable video they made with their staff dancing--if that doesn't sell you on the character of this place, nothing will. read more

We loved it so much that we stayed an extra night. It's a great little boutique hotel with by far the BEST location for staying in town. They'll direct you to park in the sister hotel across the way (which has a larger more country club feel). The boutique hotel was super clean, great bathrooms!, stylish, and delicious cozy breakfast. I posted the view from the top floor community patio and view from our room with the gorgeous church. We splurged and tried a 12 year Jameson in the bar. The staff were all very friendly with specific hints and directions for sights. Great jumping off point for Dingle or Ring of Kerry but PLENTY to see in town. You can walk across the street and catch a carriage ride through a beautiful national park to Ross castle by the lake. It was sprinkling a bit so we cozied-up with a blanket and ended up seeing a deer. Jeremiah was very laid back and great conversation. Loved Killarney and Ross Hotel! I'd go back in a minute. read more

My husband & I stayed here for 2 nights from Boston while on a weeks holiday in Dublin and had a fabulous stay! I'm addicted to candy so I joked we made the right choice for our stay when we saw (3) candy jars by the elevator everyday! The bar staff were amazing, friendly and remembered us even when we saw them off site at the local Beer Fest that weekend - Mark was great all weekend! The rooms were quaint and we had a great view of the church. The food at The Lane was wicked amazing - the Goat Cheese Brushetta was to die for, I am still craving it! Thank you for the Irish Hospitality Ross Hotel! read more

I am happy to keep this hotel's five star rating going as of May 2016. So many things to rave about, but I will keep it short so that you can be surprised and delighted. 1. Number One has to be the service. They really go above and beyond! Two examples: first, one of the women at reception consistently asked how our day was and what we did, and you could tell she sincerely cared, "Oh you went to Dingle today? I am so glad you had beautiful weather." Second example...craved dessert one night but did not want to pay the room service surcharge. So I called and said I would come downstairs to pick up- they insisted on bringing it up to us on a tray for no extra charge. 2. The room and bathroom size. Huge by European city standards. Best part...a bathtub that comfortably fits a 6 foot guy like me! 3. Location. It's right in the center of town, and if you rent a car, it's super easy to do day trips to Cork, Limerick, and the Dingle Peninsula. Ps...they did not know much about Yelp. I told them it is to Americans what Trip Advisor is to Europeans. I showed the woman at reception their hotel's perfect 5 star rating, to which she replied, "You've made my evening!" read more

Loved my stay at the Ross, it's a really nice hotel in a great location. The decor is very colorful and makes it a fun hotel to stay in. It was always busy in the bar and restaurant and they do gorgeous cocktails! Even better is that you can use the leisure facilities across the road in the Killarney Park Hotel, we went for a swim everyday! Will definitely be back and would really recommend for a weekend in Killarney read more

Absolutely LOVE this Hotel... The restaurant is amazing; the food is brilliant and they have the BEST Mojitos! The staff couldn't possibly be any nicer and what could be better than being in KILLARNEY!!! read more

Modern, well furnished, colorful hotel with very friendly & helpful staff. It is located in a perfect place adjacent to Killarney national park & within walking distance of many important things. read more

This hotel was awesome! The rooms were clean and the bathroom was huge! It was right in the heart of town which was terrific! Don't be deterred by the parking being a block away. My family stayed here, reluctant about the parking situation, but it was fine. You can unload your stuff right in front of the hotel, and the block walk is a short one. The staff is very helpful and friendly. They gave us many suggestions for things to do along the Ring of Kerry drive we were doing and places to eat at in town. They even gave us suggestions for our next destination (Galway) upon our checkout. A definite stay again! read more

Had lunch here yesterday. was nice and quiet. The waitress Sandra was lovely as ever. i LOVE the chicken curry in the bar and even though it wasn't on the menu for lunch, they were still able to get it for me. I'm not awkward usually, but it is the best chicken curry in Killarney. my friend had the chicken ciabata. both were excellent. the only thing that always upsets me is the portion is so big i never finished my curry, and its a shame because it was amazing. thanks again. read more

Wonderful hotel with a lovely restaurant. Hubby and I stayed here for the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our stay...rooms were spacious and clean, terrific blend of retro/contemporary style with a modern twist. We had two minor complaints, however, and the first was that due to the location, we could park at the Ross's sister hotel, Killarney Hotel, up and across the street since the only other option is to park on the street which is paid parking. It wasn't too much of a bother, except we had to schlep our bags and other items across the street to the hotel. My other issue with The Ross was the noise emanating from side alleyway directly beneath our room. We were on the 2nd floor, and the side alley was loaded both nights with noisy people at the bar along with pulsating, loud music. Honestly, this hotel was wonderful except for these two issues, so I could only give three stars. If you are staying here, ask for a room on the quiet side, not the side where the alley runs between the hotel and the tiny little church. Way too loud to fall asleep!!! read more

My husband and I did a 5 day trip in Ireland, driving from Cork to Dublin. We chose The Ross on a whim, got their last room avail, and FELL IN LOVE WITH THE PLACE. We also had previously spent 5 days in London and this hotel was by far our best experience of our whole trip. The service was impeccable. We arrived later in the evening, pulled our car by the front of the hotel to drop off our luggage (parking was like a block away) and the front desk gal came outside to greet us and offer help with the bags. We are from the States, so maybe we are just jaded with horrible customer service everywhere, but this place brought it back in spades. Several other occurrences of friendly assistance like the example aforementioned even prompted me to write a letter to their upper management to rave about how fabulous their front desk people are, as well as the hotel itself. The hotel is cool, centrally located, and the linens are cozy. The place is just a nice boutique hotel with fabulous customer service - a breath of fresh air compared to some of the big chain hotels. I highly recommend The Ross. read more

Our family stayed in a triple room on the third floor for two nights at the beginning of June. The facilities at the Ross hotel are excellent. The room is clean, beds comfortable, bathroom spacious and water pressure, good. And the A/C! the weather was hot and we so appreciated the coolness. Meal at the bar was very good as was breakfast. Parking was plentiful although off-site across the road at the Killarney Park hotel. Location is wonderful - just round the corner from the busiest part of the town centre but a little away and quiet. However, what makes this hotel a standout was the exemplary service of the staff - especially the front desk. They were unfailingly patient, helpful, friendly and responsive to all manner of requests including picking up our laundry from the dry cleaners when our day tour was running late! Would thoroughly recommend this hotel, you will not be disappointed. read more

This was my second time staying at The Ross... I stayed there 3 years ago, and based on location and a great experience, it was a no-brainer to stay there again while visiting Killarney with my girlfriend and her family. We were in Ireland for 8 nights (3 at The Ross), and after experiencing poor customer service and bad attitude at our two previous stops, this was a great place to finish up our vacation... I've never received such great service and attitude from the moment I walked into a hotel as I did at The Ross. The manager, Kiera, was expecting us and checked us in. She was outstanding... so friendly and helpful. She asked what we had done so far and what we wanted to do... She was very knowledgeable and gave us some great info on lesser-known side-trips/activities, restaurants, and where to get the best pastries I've ever experienced. Our first few minutes in the lobby set the tone for our stay, and rest of The Ross did not disappoint. Nice bar/restaurant in the back, with friendly bartenders, amazing cocktails, tasty food, and a decent selection of both mainstream (for Ireland) and smaller local beers. They had a Gin Bar on Fri/Sat night. They also have a separate sit-down restaurant downstairs from the main level. The location is great, the room prices are reasonable (all three of our rooms were great), and the service is outstanding. My girlfriend and her family repeatedly 'gave me props' for picking The Ross. To me, it was the easiest decision of the whole trip. Without question my best hotel experience of anywhere I've stayed in Europe. read more
