Top Killarney Hotel Reviews

Killarney Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful centrally located hotel. Walking distance to everything. The king bed is actually 2 twins pushed together so not as comfy as a real king but still good. Underground parking is tight but very convenient."

Killeen House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"So charming, fantastic staff, and wonderful location to explore all the gems of the area!"

Randles Hotel Killarney

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff but my room was a little unorthodox."

Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"After traveling many days through England, Scotland, and four full days touring Ireland, it was so amazing to just take a reprieve here. The room, staff and accomodations were top notch, I highly recommend!"

Park Place Apartments

8/10 Good

"A nice convenient apartment. Has the basics you need. An iron would've been nice to have in the apartment. However, I realize most people don't iron on vacation. It was very nice to have parking on site. It does not have air conditioning, but I knew that ahead of time. A fan would've been a nice addition. Overall, a very pleasant stay."

Great Southern Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent all the way around. Mike at the Bar was especially great!"

Killarney Towers Hotel & Leisure Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed Killarney Towers during our trip to Ireland. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The rooms are very quiet and comfortable. The pub under the hotel "Pigs Lane" was our favorite spot at the end of every evening!!"

Parkavon Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The bed was very comfortable! There is no air conditioning but the windows opened and the staff gave us a fan! It was very quiet, we were facing the back garden. The breakfast was very good!"

Muckross Park Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, in a gorgeous convenient location. Staff were all friendly"
