Everyone at this location was extremely friendly, we were able to get ice, which is extremely important if you’re from the United States and the air conditioning worked extremely well which is also very important! But highly recommend and would stay here again

The Killarney Townhouse is affiliated with the Grand Southern Hotel which is where car parking currently is. The Grand Southern staff was very helpful bringing our luggage to the Townhouse! The Killarney Townhouse is an older property but it has recently been renovated. The 3 bed room we had was spacious and very comfortable. The wooden sub floors creak a bit but ads character to the stay. The location is excellent, being right at the edge of the main pub and stores area but far enough to be quiet. Lots of power plugs in the room too!

I can’t say enough good things about this hotel. We were welcomed immediately and felt right at home, the staff were absolutely amazing as was the room and the food (which breakfast is included so no extra spending and it’s better than places we’ve paid extra for for breakfast).
Our next visit in Killarney we will definitely stay here again, without question.

This was my favorite hotel of my entire trip. I have to compliment Valeria (concierge) at this hotel. She is the most helpful concierge I have ever come across. No request was too much. This hotel was maybe a three-minute walk from the train station and certainly not far from many dining and shopping options. The room was beautiful except for some water damage spots on the ceiling, but I would DEFINITELY stay here again.

The room we were given -- the \"King Royal Suite -- was a dark, dingy, two-room nightmare. The windows were blocked and etched, so we were unable to see out Upon opening the window sill, pigeon poop was everywhere. There was no screen to keep window open.
This hotel is misrepresented on the internet. It is 3 stars at best, and the staff is the best part. They are friendly, helpful, wililng and upbeat. Th 440 euros! What a waste. But Michael and Nicole were eager to make it right and offered us compensations. Still, I wonder why this hotel is being advertised as a 4-Star when it is badly in need up an update!

3 nights in January in Killarney

After researching hotels in Killarney, we decided to stay at the Killarney Royal. We were not disappointed. Parking is off site (about a block away), and free. The lobby was perfect for cold nights by the fireplace with a glass of wine or Irish Whiskey. The food at the restaurant was delicious. We really enjoyed meeting Veronica our first night. She was a wealth of information as far as where to go and what to see. There's a coffee shop around the corner called The Shire that I'd suggest for breakfast/lunch. We will definitely be back!

Beautiful Hotel with Outstanding Customer Service

While taking a road trip through Southern Ireland, we were lucky enough to stay at the Killarney Royal Hotel. I have never left a review on this site, but felt the need to after our experience at the hotel. Veronica was without question amazing. Upon our arrival, she gave us perfect recommendations for our evening — activities, shops, and restaurants throughout the town. All of them were exactly what we were hoping for during our visit. However, upon our return that evening, we were able to chat with Veronica (during a quiet period downstairs) about our trip and experiences thus far and our goals for the remainder. Veronica listened to our goals and helped us draft up an itinerary for the remainder of our road trip. The following morning, when we went to check out, she even gave us a handwritten list of the itinerary with notes and recommendations. We can not thank Veronica and the Killarney Royal Hotel for the amazing experience we had. Over the course of the road trip, we traveled approximately 1,000 km in our loop of Southern Ireland and stayed at many hotels, but our stay at the Killarney Royal Hotel was the best. It was clean, personable, memorable, but most importantly the customer service we received from Veronica was without question a highlight. You can tell she loves her job and is incredibly good at it.

Not quite as good as the pictures

I'm really hoping our room was just an exception to the norm, as it wasn't as nice as the pictures... No carpeting, the windows were facing another building and incredibly dirty so not much natural light (they covered one with fake vines to make it look a bit more appealing). There was also a really strong smell of sewage coming from our bathroom. The building was also built in the early 1900s so the floors on the level above us creaked pretty loudly from other guests. The service was great though and the bed was large and comfortable. I do wish I had paid a bit more to stay at one of their partner hotels though (Killarney Towers or Killarney Plaza).

Sloppy Mistakes For A Suite!

The hotel is in a great location and is very close to the train station. upon arrival the receptionist was very nice and helpful, offering advice on things to do in Killarney for the afternoon.

We stayed in the junior suite, so I expected the room to be of a very high standard in terms of cleanliness. unfortunately, this was not the case. the room has some issues with the wallpaper as it seems damp in places. under one of the windowsils, there was a pile of material which had fallen from the curtains. it was very obvious and peculiar that the cleaners had missed it.

furthermore, the bedsheets had blood stains on it, as well as the pillowcase. this was very disappointing as you expect much better in the suite.

overall we enjoyed this room and hotel. however, i would be hesitant to stay there again due to some sloppy mistakes in a suite.

It is a tourist location...

The hotel and room were nice but we found the town to have too many tourists and tour groups for our liking.

It is somewhat difficult if you are driving your own car. The parking lot is about two blocks away near a sister hotel. Since there is limited parking in front of the hotel dropping off luggage was a challenge.

We used the note as a base for touring the Ring of Kerry and The area around Killarney. It was perfect for that.

He helped us to plan out the best way to spend the rest of our trip and the front desk helped us find good places to eat and drink. So close to Killarney National Park and bars/restaurants/store.
