My partner and I come here for a night at Christmas every year to enjoy the decorations and the atmosphere. The staff in the bar are fantastic and it did not disappoint. The location is excellent. It's less than a five minute walk to the main street. The rooms are fairly basic but very clean.
IrelandGreat location right next to train station. Luxurious interior and spacious garden in back. Very helpful staff. Requested refrigerator which was not in the room, called front desk and frig was delivered within 10 minutes. Received iron and ironing board within 5 minutes of request. Very good and prompt, if not pricey, room service.
United States of AmericaBreakfast was beautiful, so much variety. Beds were comfortable. Views from bedroom overlooking garden lovely. Nice to see windows open in bedroom as fresh air is lovely, also fan in room which we could switch off or on. Hotel thought of everything. Staff so nice. Decor in hotel and staff uniforms all lovely with the gold and black. Could not fault this hotel and we will be back. Car parked right across from hotel which was great and free as well. Heard no noise at night so no problem sleeping.

From its distinctive architecture to its effortless service and genuine hospitality, Great Southern Killarney has been a favorite retreat for over 160 years.
After warming yourself by the open fire in our entrance hall, ease into a soft velvet sofa and enjoy afternoon tea. We like to think time slows down just a little at Great Southern Killarney. Enjoy the light as it streams through tall windows, ramble through our gardens, and rest for a while on a secluded bench. Where else are you going to find 6 acres of gardens in the center of a bustling town? This is life at Great Southern Killarney, a Victorian landmark, and one of Ireland’s most beautiful hotels since 1854.
This is our guests' favorite part of Killarney, according to independent reviews.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 9.4 for a two-person trip.
