"Great check in and fast check out Great rest as bed is so comfortable and great pillows ! Quiet room and rest filled sleep was much appreciated ❤️"

Killarney Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was a good value for the location. The staff was friendly and helpful when we had questions. An oddity to us was that there was no staff on site from about midnight to 7 am, so early checkout is a matter of trust when leaving the key card on the counter. A plus is that a key card is needed to gain entry into the hotel during off hours and entry to the elevator at all hours. The breakfast was an ordinary buffet: three types of egg preparation, bacon slices, tomatoe halves, banger, beans and assorted pastries/juices/cereals/breads. The breakfast buffet did notbori change day to day, so it was a bit boring knowing that there were no different choices."

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."
