Best of 5 hotels we stayed at across Ireland
Pros:

What an absolute gem. We had a great experience. We had just came from another hotel with a poor experience with service so we were not expecting much. When we walked in we were welcomed by a fantastic woman by the name of Nuala I believe. Talk about a class act. She embodied professionalism and I was instantly relieved. Her banter and communication was perfect.

The room was beautiful and clean. It was updated to fit a more modern feel. Breakfast room service was great and on time. Made the morning super easy to get going. Air conditioning was the best.

Parking was down the street. A short walk. Included in the stay. It was very easy.

I can’t recommend this hotel enough. We stayed in 5 hotels during our vacation and this was well above the other 4. Husband and I were very impressed.

Thank you Nuala and to the team. We really appreciated the great hospitality.

Great hotel in a busy town
Pros:

Killarney is a very busy tourist town but when you get to Killarney Royal Townhouse you are instantly greeted warmly by John (bellman and local treasure). The front desk staff are all friendly, welcoming and helpful. The staff at the restaurant, particularly Sim were outstanding.

The hotel is quaint, well located and the restaurant is top notch.

I recommend it highly.

Enjoyable stay
Pros:

We recently stayed in the Killarney Royal Townhouse, which features in Ireland’s blue book list of country houses, historical, hotels, and restaurants.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it as a “boutique hotel experience ‘ as described in the blue book.
The hotel is ideally situated, with nearby parking available.
The decor, layout, and atmosphere is both inviting and relaxing, as was our accommodation.
At the Killarney Royal, the staff appeared to work well as a team, and were more than eager to please, taking great pride in their roles.
A special mention of praise for all of the staff and in particular ,Camellia and Joanne .
The food at the hotel is good quality , all homemade and locally sourced. The breakfast is worth a mention also for its choice, layout and exceptional freshness.
Overall, our experience in the Killarney Royal was most enjoyable and we look forward to a return visit soon.

A wonderful stay!
Pros:

Centally located and near the train station. Parking at nearby Great Southern Hotel, a short walk away. Guests can also use the gym and pool at this hotel as the Killarney Royal Townhouse does not have these facilities.
Very comfortable rooms, friendly staff and an excellent breakfast.

Great - we would stay there again.
Pros:

We were able to walk there in 10 minutes from the bus stop and it was near lots of restaurants, souvenir shops and stores. Our room was ready early and we got a nice bottle of water, welcome note and fridge. The concierge was always available at a convenient location. Breakfast was excellent with an open and extensive offering. We received some excellent advice on sightseeing options. We enjoyed the bar one night. The air conditioner worked great and there were lots of pillow options on the bed.

Cons:

The price was on the high side. We had some trouble with unlocking the door.
