Pros:

L'habitació era gran i els llits confortables. Tot molt net.

Cons:

L'habitació que ens van donar no tenia cap finestra exterior. Donava a un celobert en un sòtan que donava a un passadís. En general no sembla un hotel de 4 estrelles.

Not What it Once Was
Pros:

I had stayed at the International in December, with 2 of my nieces and it was a nice stay. Unfortunately, it's gone down hill since then. I stayed in August, 2026 with my other niece and the room was SO small that it didn't comfortably fit out luggage. Additionally, the back of TV remote was missing so they just put tape over the batteries instead of replacing the whole remote - cheap! I found out from a local that there is new ownership and that is what I attribute the decline to; no longer family run. I will find a new hotel to stay at next time I'm in Killarney.

On the positive side, the location is great and the staff were friendly.

A truly special birthday lunch ❤️
Pros:

We had the most wonderful experience at the International Hotel yesterday, celebrating the birthdays of my mum and mother-in-law.

From the moment we walked through the door, the welcome was so warm and genuine. We didn’t even have a booking, but the team couldn’t have been more accommodating and made us feel so welcome.

A special mention to the lovely Dara, who, when he heard it was the birthday girls’ special day, kindly brought them both a glass of champagne — such a thoughtful touch! 🥂 The food was absolutely stunning, and they were also treated to beautiful birthday plates.

Catriona then very kindly came over, made a big fuss of the birthday girls and really went above and beyond to make the day feel special. It was those little touches that made such a difference.

We’re local to Killarney and always recommend the International Hotel to anyone visiting, and yesterday was a perfect reminder of why. We don’t go all the time, but it’s such a lovely place for a special occasion or even just a nice lunch.

We had such a fabulous day and genuinely felt so well looked after and special. A huge thank you to all the staff for making my mum and mother-in-law’s birthday lunch one to remember. ❤️

We’ll be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Exceptional stay in the heart of it all
Pros:

The air conditioning was welcomed. The cocktails and service were impeccable. Parking was easily accessible in the public lot.
We would skip breakfast next time. It wasn’t great and we could find something local for much better. Other than breakfast this hotel was fabulous.
