The International Hotel Killarney
The International Hotel Killarney"Good location, friendly staff. Heaters in room not working, light bulbs missing, a cup leaked everywhere. Got woke up in the morning by a loud banging noise, that went on constantly."
"Premièrement si vous avez une voiture, ce n'est pas le bon hotel à louer. Il n'y a pas de parking sur le site pour tout les clients. Donc vous pouvez arriver le soir après une journée à visiter et ne plus avoir de stationnement. Il y avait aussi beaucoup de bruit dans la chambre d'à côté à minuit et j'ai dû appeler 2 soir de suite la reception avant qu'ils ne règle le problème. Sinon l'hotel est beau et les chambres sont grandes. À 10-15min de marche des restaurants/pubs."
