I found this hotel is overpriced for what it offers !
Pros:

The location was excellent and the reception was very clean and the decor was lovely

Cons:

The bedrooms looked a bit tired and the towels were very worn, but they were clean. They also had the restaurant closed for the weekend and the bar, which was disappointing, so it was more like a B&B as there was no facilities in this hotel.

zentrales gutes Hotel
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal, schöne komfortable Zimmer und ein gutes Frühstück. Die Lage zentral in Killarney ist toll.

Cons:

Die warmen Frühstücksangebote sind lecker, allerdings ist der Rest des Frühstücksbuffets langweilig und eintönig.

Un séjour innoubliable.
Pros:

La jolie façade beige et lie de vin vous appelle, vous poussez la porte, une dame vous accueille gentiment, elle s'occupe de tout, des bagages, des compliments sur votre accent et renseigne judicieusement sur les bonnes adresses de sa ville. Cet hotel fait parti des lieux que le temps n'atriste pas. Le bleu de la chambre 116 était parfait!

Cons:

Que dire...? Rien!
