Thoughtful, friendly and beautiful hotel to enjoy all of Killarney!
Pros:

the hotel was beautiful and the staff were incredibly friendly. it was my nieces birthday and as soon as we walked in the receptionist knew who she was and wished her a happy birthday! We were also greeted with a lovely welcome whiskey! Our rooms were so spacious and clean, and you couldn't beat the location.

Cons:

That we didn't stay longer

You can't beat the service
Pros:

Absolutely a wonderful experience. The location is perfect but exceeds the location is the staff. Collen and Yiana in reception, John in the lobby and Joanne in the dining area are of Exceptional Hospitality. Highly recommended.

Fabulous
Pros:

My parents recently stayed at the Royal Hotel Killarney to celebrate a birthday and Mother’s Day, and they had such a wonderful experience. From the moment they checked in, they were warmly welcomed with a lovely whiskey gift, which was a really thoughtful touch.
They stayed in Room 307, which featured a stunning king-sized four-poster bed—absolutely beautiful and made their stay feel extra special. The hotel went above and beyond by leaving cards and sweet treats in the room for my mum, which meant so much to her.
They also couldn’t stop talking about how amazing the breakfast was, and how kind and attentive all the staff were throughout their stay.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of my parents—it truly made their celebration memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and special place to stay.

10/10 and can’t wait to return
Pros:

Loved our stay here! We had a very warm welcome from lovely John at the front door. The room was spacious and tidy, and the bathroom was large and super clean. Breakfast was fantastic - Joanna organised special gluten free bread and baked goods and made sure we were well fed for the day ahead. Wish we had spent longer here.

Warmth & Elegance
Pros:

This was a beautiful experience. I had some booking quires which were all well handled prior to arrival, which put me at ease as I had a long drive down and arriving late.
The Night Porter, Romeo, was most impressive given the after midnight arrival.
My check in was seamless with just enough compassionate enquiry.

We stayed two nights, would recommend the 2nd night. We had a beautiful Townhouse Suite with beautiful sunlight each morning.

Breakfast both mornings to the room was delicious, punctual and delivered with kindness.

It was the genuine care of the team there on each interaction that stood out to me along with the various little touches that made the stay memorable.

Would recommend for anyone visiting Kerry who is looking for that bit of elegance.

Look forward to staying again soon.

A little hidden gem
Pros:

A small and friendly hotel with everything you need. Central to everything. A lucky choice from the blue book. We booked a twin room but to our surprise the beds were comfortable mini doubles. We were offered a welcome drink and a surprise gift on check out. The evening meal was delicious and a hearty tasty breakfast too. There was nothing to find fault with. We will definitely return there.
