“This hotel places you right in the middle of the action, surrounded by Killarney's pubs and restaurants; the family rooms, some offering street views, provide comfortable accommodation. I particularly liked the blend of modern bathrooms with the charm of old-school room keys. It's a solid base for exploring the town and the Ring of Kerry.”
