The Riverside Hotel, was a good place to stay, although a bit of a walk into town (I try not to drive once I have checked in). The evening meal was good, although it did take an exceptionally long time taking our order and bringing us our food, we never got our dessert - as a coach party of Europeans had arrived just before we did. (This was taken off the bill after I complained) The bar was fine, and not busy, the coach party did partake in after-meal drinks. The bedroom was large and well-equipped. Reception Staff were all friendly and attentive.

Was a quick place to sleep for us after a long day of travel. Didn’t use any of the facility. Did some things in the area and then moved on because of our schedule. No complaints. Would stay there again.

Overall nice hotel. Lobby was nice and Clean, check in was quick and pleasant. Triple only had one large towel so requested two more and service was very fast. Beds were very aoft. We thought toilet didn’t flush and used lobby toilet but it might have been a different flushing system- maybe a sign for us foreigners that don’t know any better!! Easy distance to walk into town!

Accommodation staff need more attention to detail in bedrooms. More communication between reception and bar about timing. We were told last orders were 11pm and out for 11 30pm, supervisor decided to do last orders for 10.40pm because he had an incident the previous weekend. Also, more training needed on waiting staff. Witnessed a waitress stick her finger in glass of apple juice to remove what was in the glass a give it to a guest.

A great place to stay

Hotel location was within 15mins walking distance to Killarney. Rooms were very nice. Staff very friendly. Only minor niggle was the room we were in, 311, being next to some kind of pump (water or heating?) just outside the window which started at around 6am and ran until 11pm. My partner didn’t notice it but it did annoy me.

Overall it was a pleasant one night stay. Mattress in my room needs replacing. Food is not a positive aspect. Dinner in bar was only fair. The ribeye I had was possibly old. It had an unpleasant smell. Breakfast buffet is quite meagre. Staff are very pleasant and helpful.
