Would absolutely stay here again. So convenient to all the action in town but still very serene. Parking garage seemed not quite sufficient, but the public lots were easy and just as convenient. Loved the pool area. Our favorite stay in Ireland!

Friendly staff, fantastic location & a very clean, well-maintained property… didn’t get a chance to experience the spa facilities, but they sure looked tempting! The only note would be that the access from the garage to the main hotel was tricky and involved a couple short flights of stairs, which was a bit of a challenge with the ton of luggage we had… we did eventually find a stair-free path through the back-of-house, but improving the way-finding may prove helpful… But seriously - a minor inconvenience given the overall wonderful stay we had!

I loved the Killarney Plaza, and we had a lovely King Suite with a view of the Killarney National Park gardens out our window. However, renovation was going on in the next room, which began at 8:00am, and finished at 5:00 pm (1700) each day. I do not think that guests should be placed in this area. It made for a very restless stay. The hotel is gorgeous and the suite pristine and beautiful furnishings.
