The Gardens was an oasis in Killarney. Its gated courtyard was beautiful with lovely flowers along the way. The room was comfortable and clean. John and Sandra were the perfect hosts. The breakfast was more than ample each day, served in a lovely dining room. The Gardens was in walking distance of all the activities, shops, restaurants and pubs of Killarney. I would highly recommend this wonderful bib.

Great stay. The location is perfect, near the downtown area and the train station. Our check in has smooth and easy, and the place is clean with a lovely garden, that is very well kept and peaceful. The breakfast and the staff were wonderful. It’s a bit humid, but the staff do a great job managing humidity during their daily room cleaning to the best of their ability. Overall very happy and we would repeat in the future.

This was a lovely retreat very close to town and near the National Park. The bed was amazing! The garden was nice. The breakfast was very large and included with the price of the room, making this a very good value. The owner is a sweetheart. She took time to make recommendations and help create a plan for our days. We will be back.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
First off, great location. 5 min walk up the road and bang. You're in the middle of town. Pros: Comfy bed, great shower, location, breakfast and staff were great. Cons: Very dated, curtains barely block any light at 11pm, oil/water? Heater constantly pops and groans 'all' night, 1920's skeleton key lock is a great novelty, but practically annoying and painful to lock/unlock the door. Could easily do with some up dating to this century.

Not recommended

The woman who checked me in was very friendly. This hotel is long overdue for an upgrade. No outlets near the beds for devices. In fact, my room had only one outlet and it was on the opposite side of the room. This place looks like it has not been upgraded since the 1950s. I would not stay here again.

The facility was close to the tourist area which was a plus. The room was clean but poorly set out. It was on the second floor with NO elevator. Shower and bathroom postage stamp size. Few electric outlets. TV smaller than my laptop. Thought we were back in the fifties. Price was reasonable but disappointing two nights.

Lovely property. Walled, secluded, secure, convenient. Small but efficient room and bath. Tasty, plentiful breakfast. We were a very short walk from the train station, the city center and restaurants. Spent three hours in the quiet, cozy lobby before walking to the train station. Really enjoyed our two day excursion in Kerry.
