A unique small hotel with a bold personality, fabulous staff and five-star service
Pros:

We loved everything about The Ross. It couldn't be more central, on a street with loads of cafes and outdoor seating in Summer. The decor is unique and very funky (check out the wallpapers!), the breakfast was super but, above all, the staff were wonderful. What separates great hotels from others is the quality and authenticity of service. The level and warmth of service in the Ross felt five-star. If staff meet you on a corridor they immediately ask if you need anything. Special mention goes to Caterina at reception and Maeve at breakfast.
We stayed in Room 110, a mini-suite with lots of space, light, fabulous decor and services. Free parking was available at their sister hotel The Park just a 2 minute walk away.
What you don't see on their website is the 'Polly Lounge' at The Ross' entrance. This is a gorgeous 1920s style bar with great cocktails and small plates, a brilliant place to while away the night if you don't want a heavy main meal.
Killarney is one of the jewels in the Irish tourism crown with amazing lakes and mountains and culture. It's full of hotels and pubs and this one is a stone's throw from most of the latter. But if you want a hotel with loads of personality, uniquely colourful decor and fantastic staff, pick this one.

Cons:

The air conditioning is centrally controlled. We stayed at an unusually hot time by Irish weather standards so could have done with lowering it ourselves. Otherwise not one complaint!

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.
