My stay at the hotel was fantastic. The rooms turned out to be a huge suite with a large living room and a step-down bedroom, which was excellent, spacious, and air-conditioned. It was a lovely space to come back to after a busy day, although it wasn't what we had originally booked. The location was perfect, within walking distance of all the main pubs, shops, and restaurants. The service was top-notch over our two-day stay, and the hotel is very central to the main streets of Killarney. The dining experience offered a great variety of fruit, cereals, breads, pastries, and a varied cooked menu.

The hotel offers massive, beautifully decorated, and luxurious rooms, but does not include breakfast. The food is tasty, and the staff are brilliant and welcoming, always ready to assist.

The hotel exceeded all our expectations with its incredible location near the heart of Killarney town and its magnificent rooms that made our special day even more memorable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, and the proximity to great sights was a huge plus. However, the dining options could have been more varied to complete the experience.

I had a wonderful stay at The Killarney Royal. The beautifully decorated rooms were immaculate, with extremely comfortable beds and all the amenities for a very relaxing experience. However, my room had only one small window looking out onto the side of another building. The service here was excellent, with friendly and kind staff, particularly Billy who went out of his way to make our stay special. The location was fantastic, convenient for exploring the local nightlife and shops. Although I didn't dine at the hotel, I know from previous experiences that the dining options are fabulous. The facilities were top-notch, offering everything I needed for a comfortable stay.
