Pros:

Central location

Cons:

Room described as a Superior King was nothing of the sort. Small, back of hotel with a view of a wall. I complained at reception but was told the only other room was at the front of the hotel but above a noisy bar.

Small room, even smaller bathroom and ridiculously small shower. Our room had two single beds instead of a double when we arrived which was fine but said it to reception and they said it would be changed to and double that afternoon and it wasn’t, it was done the following morning when i said it again

Nice comfortable hotel with a few inconveniences.
Pros:

Location, extremely friendly and helpful staff, excellent breakfast with very attentive personalized service and high quality food.

Cons:

When you enter the hotel you have to carry your suitcases up first a couple of steps and then walk to the reception, and then after checking in you have to carry your suitcases up another maybe four or five steps to get to the elevator. There are no ramps so if you're an older or disabled person you will face some challenges. The front desk staff did not make any effort to offer assistance if needed.
This lobby must have been designed when there were porters in the lobby to carry your luggage up the various levels of the lobby.
Otherwise, the hotel was comfortable and friendly and very convenient to everything.

Cons:

The hotel was fine overall, but definitely not what I expected based on the price or the way it presents itself. The lobby gives the impression that this is a much more upscale or luxurious hotel, but unfortunately that did not carry through to the room.

We booked a “Superior” room, but our window looked directly onto another building and a rooftop, with essentially no view at all. The room itself felt extremely dated and worn, and the bathroom was in need of updating as well. The shower leaked water all over the floor every time we used it, which was frustrating.

Nothing was necessarily terrible, and the stay was fine, but I think the expectations should be set differently. Between the beautiful lobby, the “Superior” room designation, and the price, we expected something considerably nicer. This is not a luxury or particularly upscale hotel experience, and I probably would have chosen somewhere else had I known what the actual rooms were like.

An ok hotel in a very central spot but a little over priced
Pros:

It is central to the town

Cons:

Dated - the rooms are smaller than usual and the hotel lobby smells of cigarettes. If you open your windows you get the smell of cooking from the hotel or other properties blowing in.

We enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to stay there again!
Pros:

I liked that it was centrally located to the restaurants, pubs and shops as it made it easy to walk to the places we wanted to see and visit in our time there.

Cons:

I can't think of anything that needed to be improved We were happy with the accomodations and the breakfast choice in the morning. We would stay again if we are back in Killarney in the future.
