Pros:

L'emplacement est bon.

Cons:

L'hôtel est bruyant et mal insonorisé. La qualité et la quantité du petit déjeuner sont très limitées. La manager du petit déjeuner n'est vraiment pas accueillante.

A little gem in the heart of Killarney!
Pros:

I really love the attention to detail. Elemis products in the bathroom were a delight. The bone china in the dining room was stunning.

Cons:

I liked everything about the property. I would’ve loved if breakfast had been available a little bit later.

Pros:

Very nice facility and staff.

Cons:

Pillows are extremely hard. It would be nice to have a choice of a much softer pillow. In many hotels I've stayed in if there are 4 pillows provided for a queen or larger bed, 2 will be nice soft ones and 2 will be firm ones. The beds were very comfortable; it's only the pillows that I found extremely uncomfortable.
