Just returned from a 3 night stay in the Great Southern Hotel Killarney, arriving New Year’s Eve. We were returning guests from many years ago so we weren’t sure what to expect. My husband was celebrating a December birthday and we were delighted to be given a beautiful room 380. A bottle of bubbly and some treats along with a personalised card were waiting in our beautiful room, which had its own fabulous Christmas tree, and gorgeous views. New years was amazing with live music following a lovely meal. It was a pleasure to see the old out and the new in at this lovely venue. Breakfast is fabulous with something delicious for everyone’s taste. The highlight for me was the professionalism of all the staff. From the staff at breakfast, the staff at dinner, the barman, the waiting staff, the hard working staff looking after the rooms, the staff at the leisure centre and the friendly welcoming staff at the entrance, and reception. A great team all working together to make guests happy. Nothing was to much trouble and the hotel was full including 2 weddings but the staff were amazing and did a great job. Overall our stay at the Great Southern Hotel was a very enjoyable experience. Anna & Noel Egan.
Lovely hotel, stayed a night in Jan. Room very comfortable, nice leisure centre, great dinner ( sirloin was a bit tough but tasted lovely, just a bad cut of meat I think ) nice breakfast in morning. Man serving breakfast buffet was a stand out, while you expect the receptionists to be friendly, it’s always great to see be back of house team so chatty , great way to start the day!
This hotel is excellent in so many ways. It is the perfect location and in walking distance to so many good things to do and see in Killarney. However, I am giving a huge shout out to the friendliness of all the staff. Beyond that, I left my ipad in a drawer and the people BEHIND the scenes are as great as those in the lobby, bar and restaurants. A special shout out to Noreen who went out of her way to help ship my iPad back to USA. This hotel is my top pick for a pleasant stay in every way!
A very friendly and comfortable old fashioned local hotel. The room was small and cozy with a very comfortable bed. The bathroom was updated with a shower/tub and was spotless. The biggest attraction is the friendliness of the staff, a lovely breakfast menu served with smiles and a great bar with good local Irish music every night. The location is perfect to explore Killarney with lots of restaurants within walking distance to include a fabulous seafood restaurant next door. This is a lovely place to stay in every way.
TTourist51571740017We loved the whole experience. The whole place is spotless and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit I cannot say enough about the staff they are so professional and so friendly. We will definitely be back again.
September this year we booked this hotel for 3 nights. We have 3 children one being an infant only 10 weeks old. The hotel was ideal for our children and very well catered for families. Staff were helpful, friendly and very professional.
Nnohassle1956Good and not so good. The location is nice outside of town. Plenty of free parking. Check in smooth with a friendly desk clerk. We were tired and had a bite to eat in the restaurant. Very nice. The food was good. Room was nice. Big tub and shower. We both took long baths after hiking 7 miles during the day. Wifi was fast and stayed constantly connected. They gave us a fan to move the air around. That was nice. The fan had a timer on it and would only stay on 2 hours at a time. Weird. The room had a single bed and a full bed. When we got in to bed we sunk into the middle. It was like sleeping in a hammock. My wife ditched me and went to the single bed. You could hear any noise from the other rooms and from the hallway. Bottom line not a good night's sleep. The breakfast in the morning was good. Killarney was booked the weekend we were there and we were only able to get 1 night at the Killarney oaks hotel. Turned out to be a blessing.
Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff. Perfectly clean. We couldn't recommend this wonderful hotel highly enough. We would happily return anytime. We will be telling family and friends all about our lovely experience here Kevin & Eileen Seacy
