Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa

Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good
"We stayed in 3 rooms as were were a family of 5! All 3 rooms were lovely, staff was so kind and helpful, check in was easy and welcoming. The lobby is gorgeous and the hotel is so central to walking to the shops, pubs, and right next to Killarney national park. The restaurants and cafe in the hotel were also excellent. Highly recommend!"
