Amazing
Pros:

My Friends and I have an annual golf trip to Ireland. This was the first year we stayed at the The Royal Townhouse. The hotel is comfortable and beautiful and so well situated for walking to great dining and entertainment. What really sets this hotel apart from any of the others we stayed in, is the staff. Every single staff memeber we interacted with was beyond amazing. From the curb side bellhop, to the receptionist, to the wait staff, to the bartender, to the cleaning staff, etc.. They were all very friendly, helpful, acommodating, and professional. Our only regret is that our golf course selection only allowed us one night here. We will definitely be back next year and make sure our course selection allows us a multiple night stay at the Royal Townhouse!! This place and their staff is a master class for anyone wanting to learn the hospitality industry!!

Amazing ❤️ 👏 10/10
Pros:

Oh my god where do I start. What an amazing place to stay. Met John on our arrival and he is such a gentleman, he was so kind, friendly and he couldn't do enough for us. I'd say if I asked him to unpack our bags he would have. It was worth staying there just to meet him. All the staff were amazing and very helpful and friendly and a special mention for Joanne who was so kind. Room was beautiful and food was unreal so much so when we checked out on Sunday we watched the allireland in the Failte and we went back again for tea and scones before we came home. 10/10 for this hotel, try it and you won't be disappointed.

Great Hotel in the Heart of Killarney
Pros:

My niece and I stayed here for 2 nights and had a wonderful experience. I had mentioned that we were on a trip celebrating her graduation from college and they left a beautiful note for her to congratulate her. The hotel is within walking distance of everything you will need in Killarney. It was exceptionally warm for Ireland when we were there and the air conditioner worked beautifully, and that was not the case in all of our luxury hotels we stayed in along the way.

Wonderful stay in Killarney
Pros:

A wonderful time in Killarney at the Killarney Royal Townhouse. Very tranquil, we had a lovely comfortable room. The staff were welcoming friendly helpful and attentive. The breakfast was excellent, cooked to order, great choice. We had dinner on the first night at the Fig restaurant and it was very good. The only thing I would improve is more hangers in the wardrobe and a full length mirror in bedroom.

Highly recommend!!! Best experience we had in Ireland!
Pros:

The staff was phenomenal! The hotel and room finishes better than the online photos. The breakfast was great and the service exceptional.

Cons:

Their pillows could be more comfortable and it would be nice if there was more than one drawer for clothing (in addition to the closet rod) — and some hooks by the closet and/or in the bathroom would be helpful.

Decadent stay in Killarney
Pros:

An absolute delight! Elegant lobby with a welcome whiskey to greet you and beautifully appointed rooms with soft beds and decadent bathrooms. Johny was our porter and he was an absolute delight! So helpful with our bags and recommendations for dinner/pints/music in town. Best breakfast of our entire trip!

Excellent hotel which definitely provides a 5 star service. Very attentive, well informed staff and modern rooms.
Pros:

Stayed here for Saturday night after completing the Ring of Kerry annual charity cycle. Excellent service at the hotel.Very useful location for the cycle as we were to allowed to park across the road in the sister hotel carpark of the Great Southern for free from the early hours of Sat morning (we arrived before 06:00). Very central location but there good soundproofing on the windows, no disturbances from the street outside.John, the concierge made us feel very welcome, we had some great chats with him! The room was beautiful and very modern. Would definitely recommend.
