I stayed at this hotel in beautiful Killarney for a wedding and found the rooms to be spacious, clean, and authentic. The central location allowed us to enjoy the shops, churches, and restaurants, although the noisy street with neighboring establishments playing loud music was a downside. The dining experience offered original dishes in a lovely setting, and the facilities were satisfying.

The hotel had a mix of positives and drawbacks. The rooms were quite dated, but the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathroom spacious. The service was genuinely warm and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. The location was excellent, right in the center of town, although some areas needed updating. The dining experience had its ups and downs, offering fantastic choices but lacking in speed and variety at times.

The hotel really impressed me with its spacious rooms that were incredibly comfortable; I can't wait to bring my kids next time. However, the lack of ventilation made the room a bit stuffy and hot. The service was top-notch, with the staff being extremely welcoming and accommodating. The location was unbeatable, right in the center of town with easy access to everything. The dining experience was exceptional, although there was no dinner option during the time of our stay.
