Location was good. A bit pricey. Food was excellent, breakfast was fantastic. Staff very pleasant. Hotel immaculate. Would recommend no problem.
Nothing to dislike at all. The leisure / pool area is quite dated & tired. But that’s honestly the only thing I could say needs attention.

Loved the hotel - historic but modern. One of the best breakfasts I had in Ireland.
Stunning Christmas decoration.
Check in was a bit crowded as many people arrived at the same time and waited in line. No acknowledgment of my Bday which was actually the day we checked in. But no problem.

The only thing was the shower had no power and couldn’t get the water hot.

Breakfast was beautiful, we were seated quiet a distance from the buffet but could not fault anything.
There was a bit of a smell in the bathroom of stagnant water. We had to keep the bathroom door closed at all times

The character of the property was unbelievably beautiful, the ambience so lovely, the staff from doorman to reception and house maids were all phenomenal, the staff at this hotel could not do enough for you and we will remember them fondly for making our stay so special.
We stayed in the grace kelly suite which was huge and at the same time breathtaking, it most definitely has the wow factor as soon as you walk in, roll top bath separate double shower cubical and luxuriously decorated throughout.
The main bedroom had a huge lounge area with dining area to relax in which consisted of large comfortable armchairs and sofa with dining table to relax plus a 7ft wide emperor size 4 poster bed, when sleeping on it felt like heaven all in all an unbelievably excellent stay at the great southern and western will be returning next year to the this beautiful hotel in Killarney

The hotel has a beautiful old world charm about it. You are welcomed by a huge fire in the fireplace in the lobby which really helps set the comfy yet tasteful vibes. And the lobby was decorated for the holidays with decorations and trees and little lights everywhere. Plus the lobby smelled of cinnamon; what could be better?!
We loved our room which had a big king sized bed that was super comfortable with a great view. The bathroom seemed to have been recently renovated with a full sized shower and a beautiful tub.
The only thing to be aware of - and this is for my fellow American visitors - there was no A/C. We were here at the end of November, which was fine, because we could leave the balcony door open, and the room was cooled nicely. But I would have had a very difficult time staying there when the weather was warmer. There were fans in the room, but if you’re an A/C girlie like me, this is something to know before booking.
Otherwise, the staff were all very friendly, and very helpful, and there were smiles aplenty! We enjoyed our full breakfast every morning, and everything was delicious with many choices.

We had such a relaxing stay, from the moment we arrived we were welcomed into the hotel and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff, we stayed in one of the suites and the room was beautiful, so comfortable, walking around the hotel there was a fabulous vibe. The breakfast was sensational and the options were fantastic
We ate in the bar and the service was very slow, we waited 50 minutes to receive our food, and the food did not meet the expectations we had, I would not eat lunch/dinner in the hotel again.
