Just so so.
Unfortunately really just mediocre. We loved the location and history of the hotel but the service , food and amenities was just okay. A real lack of attention to detail.

A True Gem in Killarney
I stayed here with my wife and toddler while the hotel was undergoing a renovation. Not only did we not notice the renovation - it was one of the nicest stays of our entire trip. The room was spacious, giving us plenty of space to spread out. There were even some extra things I didn't expect, for example a toddler sized rocking chair in our room, and a putting green. The hotel staff was attentive, accommodating, and extremely friendly. The hotel was clean, quiet, in a great location. I would love to stay here again someday!

Beautiful hotel but check in was bit bumpy. Arrived late but no staff to assist with bags and real confusion on valet options for car. Staff was friendly enough but did not seem to understand the process. Just a tick off our experiences at other fine Irish hotels. Just needs to button up their procedures a bit!

By far the BEST Hotel we stayed during our vacation in Ireland. everything was perfect. the staff was very professional and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. the parking was convenient and right next to the hotel property. we walked everywhere in town. the Hotel has a very nice bar with live music. would stay there again and will for sure recommend to anyone traveling to Killarney.
