The Hotel Killarney is located on the outskirts of Killarney which makes it easy to reach. The staff at the hotel are friendly and professional. The rooms are comfortable. There is a good selection of food at the breakfast buffet. I stayed 4 night to explore the area.

The entire team at Hotel Killarney were incredible, whether it was checking in or the sloe berry bar, the team were fantastic, the hotel is located so central to a bunch of amazing sights, I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to stay and explore the ring of Kerry, the rooms are spacious modern; comfortable and quiet. Also a quiet word for the Sloe Berry bar, the food was impeccable and the staff so friendly and helpful, we felt no need to venture out to any other restaurants
