Hotel Killarney is frequently chosen by families, and many guests highlight the spacious family rooms, some even equipped with kitchen facilities and a fridge. The bar food receives praise for its generous portions, and the breakfast is often described as plentiful with great variety.

Mixed stay, Some issues noted

warm roompoor attitude
The room temperature was an issue. It got uncomfortably warm, and the provided fan just circulated warm air (I guess that's what fans DO). The check-in process was not smooth. I thought the receptionist's attitude was poor. She seemed disinterested and barely provided essential information. Honestly, that was not a Great first impression.

the swimming pool was available all day, which i appreciated. the kids loved the kid club between 6pm and 9pm with a movie at 7:30. it was a relaxing break, which my wife and i needed.
the breakfast was a complete shambles when fully booked, i think. it was incapable of catering for the volume of guests, actually
