Awful hotel don’t care About the customers
Pros:

I was put on the 3rd floor I explain that I had a knee issue. I asked if I could be moved. I stopped for 45 minutes to get my bag to my room thought the manager would reach out to me. No one did so now I’m on the third floor trapped because I can’t do the stairs up and down the elevator is out no one here seems to care.

Lovely Staff
Pros:

Myself and my family went for a meal in Hannigans Bar. Our meals were beautiful, but what I really wanted to mention was how nice the staff were with my Dad who has Alzheimer’s and mobility issues. A big shout out to Tyler and Brendan who were so kind and helpful to him - nothing was too much for them. We had two young children with us too and Brendan was great with them. Thank you so much, we’ll be back again!

Midweek Getaway
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff throughout the hotel, breakfast was good but nothing special. We were on 3rd floor and had to carry our luggage up several flights of stairs as the lift was broken for the whole time we were there. Would be nice to have a fridge in the room especially in an Executive room which is what we purchased, not sure extra money from the next grade down was worth it. No nice views from the small window, didn’t feel very Premium.

Short stay in Killarney
Pros:

The International Hotel is perfect for a short stay in Killarney, particularly when travelling by train. It is a short walk from the station. Lovely room, great breakfast and really nice staff. Perfect!

Lovely hotel
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel and very clean. The staff is very courteous and accommodating. While one of our rooms was rather small, it was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The only issue was there was no soundproofing from the outside. People were around the area talking and drinking until well past midnight. Then before 7 in the morning a cleaning crew was using loud blowers to clean up the debris. This happened both nights of our stay, so we weren’t able to sleep well.
