Please be aware that some hotel rooms may face the church’s cemetery. The staff and quality of hotel was superb! The hotel is within walking distance of the main shops and sightseeing. I felt comfortable walking later in the evening and parking was easily accessed (2 - 3 blocks away).

Great get away

Great area to see Killarney. Take a carriage ride through the park with Tommy. Knowledgeable and a dry sense of humor. Would recommend the Celtic Dance show Smaller venue and excellent. The staff was friendly and professional. Room was nice and bathroom was great. Great breakfast downstairs. Great for all ages. Jay C New Jersey

4/10 Fair

The hotel is a very nice property with a great location. However, there is pretty much no good soundproof between the windows and the busy streets around them. It was a Thursday night and I could not go to bed until about 2 AM because there were people in the back alleys partying and making noise. Don’t stay here if you want a nice night of sleep
Marie, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel is located adjacent to Brewer's Alley - it literally felt like we were trying to sleep in the middle of a pub. There was a huge streetlight angled right into the room, which we were able to block with black out blinds. The noise didn't die down until 3:00 a.m. We were also lured in by the pink gin bar, which was not open. The food at the restaurant was mediocre. We also had to park across the street.

Great location right in town. Lovely decor and a trendy feel around the property. Comfy room and nice Voya products in the bathroom.
Christopher, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The Ross is a small hotel right in town. The rooms are a little dated, but well maintained. Room 205 overlooks a cemetery, which may be an issue for some. The included breakfast is sit down with some delicious hot options (I.e. omelets, Irish Breakfast, etc). The bar around the corner, Paddy Sheehan’s had awesome live musical performances. There’s also a large/nicer gift shop nearby, Christy’s. The hotel itself has a bar downstairs, Polly’s. They had a decent selection of top shelf alcohol, but limited food options.
