The staff here was so amazing! We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. This hotel was perfect! The air conditioning worked really well, and we were able to control it from our own room, which is always a plus for older women. It’s location is right in the center city, close to everything. With clean rooms and quiet quarters, what more could you want? Bravo! We loved it.

The entire experience at The Ross was amazing! We were warmly greeted and provided helpful information about the gardens and castle. The room is gorgeous, bed comfortable and the bathroom is perfect with the deepest and longest bathtub! We ate in the Labe for breakfast, everything was delicious and the service staff were warm and kind!!

This was one of the most beautiful hotels we have ever stayed in. The food is outstanding and all the staff were professional, helpful and friendly. We were there for four days and didn’t want to leave. I particularly wish to thank Mauve, who made our breakfast each morning feel like we were with family. Thank you everyone.

One of the best hotels I’ve stayed at across 5 continents. Extraordinary value for the price. Every member of the staff we encountered went out of their way to be of service. Wished we had spent more time in Killarney and not jumped around Ireland so much. Circle of Kerry and National Park are georgeous places to visit.
