Top St. Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa

8/10 Good

"The Hotel was in a great location. Friendly staff and comfortable beds. Hallways seem a bit outdated."

Killarney Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We chose this property because the price was right. It was clean enough and had the basics required, but nothing more. The location was ideal. The food in the bar was limited so we chose not to eat there. Overall, just satisfactory."

Killarney Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful hotel and staff. Well located in town. Druid restaurant had great food and service but I suspect that the bar is the place to be"

Eviston House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent location. We arrived early and they held our luggage for us, offered my daughter a space to get some work done in peace and quiet, and were all very friendly. Live music in the pub was a treat, and the only negative was the pub bartender who insisted his misogynistic jokes were appropriate and funny to another woman and myself."

The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"The most amazing property in Ireland! Love everything- from the sparkling clean rooms, to the amazing breakfast, to the beautiful lake & mountain views, to the kind and caring staff, perfect pints of Guinness and live music in the Bistro: this place is the best!"

Killarney Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay!"

The Killarney Park

10/10 Excellent

"Great location Great amenities Superb staff who just wanted to make you feel like you didn't need to worry about anything and at every turn there was someone there to help. Staying at this location perfect and you feel at home and like a sense of family. Unmatched customer service. Great food, great workout facilities and sauna. I can't say anything bad about this lace but I could talk for days about how GLORIOUS this place is. Thanks you so much. We thank you!"

Brook Lodge Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel entrance looks lovely very clean first impressions excellent the receptionist very charming beautiful display off flowers outside the door Room lovely and big everything lovely and clean in the room although it does feels a little tired in places This our third stay at this property it’s very convenient for parking and easy walking to town centre The breakfast is freshly cooked which to me is a bonus in a lovely bright and clean dining area Again the staff are very pleasant I would say it’s more off a 5 Starr bed and breakfast than a hotel although it does have a bar area which I feel it’s more of a token gesture Would I stay here again absolutely Great value for money"

The International Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"Young woman at front desk was extremely helpful and kind."
