"We traveled to Dublin to celebrate our wedding anniversary and selected the Killarney Royal Townhouse to drive through the Ring of Kerry due to its perfect location. The hotel staff surprised us with a lovely dessert in the room, which by the way was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable and the hotel is located in downtown Killarney. It also offered parking nearby, which was very convenient. Additionally, we booked a room that included daily breakfast and it was delicious. We highly recommend the Royal Townhouse Hotel in Killarney."
