    luxurious suite
    excellent parking
    great spa
    tv channel limitations
    dated decor
    food quality issues

    The Great Southern Killarney left a strong impression on me. The location is prime, just a short walk from everything I wanted to visit. I particularly loved the Victorian Suite. the luxurious bedding and well-thought-out amenities made it feel special. The robes provided were incredibly comfortable, and having on-site parking was really convenient for our day trips. I enjoyed the spa treatments too. they felt almost lavish. However, I did experience a few hiccups. The TV channels were limited, only available through saorview, which was disappointing. There wasn't even an option for streaming services like Netflix. The food quality varied a bit during certain times, which added to the inconsistency. The decor in some areas felt a bit dated, which didn't match the rest of the hotel's charm. Despite these minor inconveniences, I would highly recommend this hotel for its elegance and overall comfort.

    luxurious stay but minor issue with room cleaning

    The Victorian Suite was stunning! The luxurious bedding and robes made my stay incredibly comfortable. I particularly enjoyed the on-site parking, which provided easy access for our day trips. The breakfast selection was also impressive with numerous tasty options, elevating our mornings.

    The housekeeping services could have been more thorough.

    Enjoyed a two-night stay with my family. The location was fantastic, allowing easy access to the town's attractions. I appreciated that the breakfast offered a good variety and featured freshly baked pastries. Our room was spacious and provided a cozy atmosphere for a family getaway. However, the service at the restaurant was slower than expected during our visit.
