Friendly staff, comfy beds, large bathtub, heated towels…a lovely place to stay!
The Ross was amazing from start to finish! It was stylishly decorated and conveniently located downtown near the best restaurants and pubs. The breakfast was amazing and they even prepared us a to-go breakfast with scones and fruit since we had to be off early. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Killarney.
The room was spacious with modern design and features. Restaurant and bars were decorated in a tasteful modern design
Everyone working at the hotel was helpful and friendly
Hotel is in a great location and is great value. The staff make the place. They could not have been more welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend the breakfast too!
