I was very pleased with the Ross hotel!
Pros:

The location: right in the middle of town.
The breakfast was excellent and the servers were very nice!

Cons:

There was no place to park when we first arrived to check in. Later on we found the off-site parking lot which was very nice and close by.

Lovely boutique hotel in a great location
Pros:

The Ross was gem that was a perfect base for my time in Killarney. The room was very comfortable, up to date, and nicely decorated. The breakfast was excellent, and the attached lunch option was also really good. Shout out to the staff, who were both helpful and extremely friendly. The Ross is perched near the center of town, the train station, and the national park, which made everything I wanted to do an easy walk. Highly recommended.

Fantastic hotel, great value with free parking around the corner.
Pros:

This hotel is bang in the centre of town and is a hidden gem. The room was big and beds comfortable. It’s a quiet hotel despite the location. Breakfast is served to the table and the staff are friendly. We borrowed bicycles from the sister hotel The Park hotel.

Loved everything about The Ross. Staff (from entry to exit and in between) were wonderful, friendly, approachable. Room was large and comfortable, breakfast was filling! Location is second to none - right near the main restaurant/pub area without being affected by it.
