Good muesli was amongst the breakfast cereal options. Scrambled egg, and the homemade bread were delicious. As much tea as you could drink.

Annemarie, United Kingdom

Easy parking + within walking distance of town. Also very handy for getting onto Limerick road.

Therese, Ireland

Very polite staff and great location. Value for money as location is ideally located within short walk to main streets of Cork City.

Darragh, Ireland

Scones for breakfast very fresh. Cooked food piping hot.

My, United Kingdom

I was only there for the 1 night, but very comfortable.

Stuart, Ireland

Very clean, comfortable bed, friendly and helpful staff and close to the city center. Lost of great pubs and restaurants nearby. I would normally stay in a hotel when travelling on business to Cork, but the hotel prices have gone very expensive. I would return to Killarney Guest House for future visits. The free parking at the rear of the property is a great bonus, especially when it's so close to the city center.

Eileen, Ireland

Good off-road parking behind the accommodation which was really useful. The rooms were comfortable, excellent bathroom. The accommodation is actually in 3 adjacent houses, we were in the Crawford house next door - there is no connecting door so if you want breakfast you have to go outside to get in. Not a problem (about a 20 m walk) The guest house is around 25 minutes walk from the centre of Cork, so while it seems a bit expensive, given that Cork is a bustling popular city, it's not overly expensive. A taxi to town costs around EUR 7. No breakfast so I can't report on that.

Sheona, Germany

Got an upgrade. Staff very friendly (and very accommodating to our child).

Han-earl, Ireland

great location. family room satisfactory. had a good nights sleep.

Veronica, Ireland

The Killarney B&B is superbly located beside the historical and beautiful picturesque University College Cork (UCC), and ideal when attending conferences, and/or visiting Cork city. The staff were very helpful and attended promptly to specific requests to print documents, and in calling taxis, etc. They were well informed on directions to various places, including restaurants. The Killarney B&B is very homely, and the staff were very welcoming, friendly, and eager to help.

Rosemary, Ireland

One of our top picks in Cork.

Overlooking Fitzgerald Park, the Killarney Guest house sits opposite University College Cork. Recommended by the Irish Times, this family-run guest house offers bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi in the lobby and free parking.

Killarney offers a friendly welcome, with home baked biscuits and a cup of tea provided on arrival. The wide selection of the daily breakfast buffet is followed by a full cooked Irish breakfast.

The tastefully decorated rooms all have TVs, hair dryers and tea/coffee making facilities. Some rooms have whirlpool baths.

Cork city centre’s many shops, restaurants and attractions, including Shandon Steeple and St. Finbarr’s Cathedral are just a 10-minute walk. The Blarney Stone is 4 miles away.

Cork Airport is a 10-minute drive away and there are several golf courses within a 5 miles radius of the guest house.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8 for a two-person trip.

“Overpriced & Rude Staff, Do Not Stay Here!”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉When we arrived we were put into a "studio" apartment, even though we booked a double room. The room itself was located 3 buildings over from the Killarney Guest House, the bed was too small for two people and was up 5 floors of stairs (which they did not tell us) and was was quite difficult for my mother to climb up and down. The wifi does not reach the rooms properly and overall quality was quite bad, I work from my laptop when I am traveling and this was a huge the inconvenience. When I approached the staff about this issue they told me to "go to a restaurant and use that wifi". It wasn't until I asked about other areas with wifi that they told me I could use the dining room in the main house, but as this was several buildings away from my room and it would be late at night I was not comfortable with that. As well, we used their laundry service which was completely overpriced, 10 euros for one wash/dry. The laundry itself took around 3 hours to complete for one load which is completely ridiculous. The continental breakfast was 10 euros so we opted to head down the street where we found plenty of great restaurants for half the price. Would not stay here again, do not recommend.
눇The room was pretty clean when we entered and the location is about a 5 minute drive to the main strip with bars, restaurants and shopping.

눉No breakfast mentioned or offered for the morning, in fact very little said at all! We were shown to our apartment after paying and didn't see the staff at all after that... Not even when returning the key the next morning. Also, if we'd known the stay was to be in an apartment (not a room in a guesthouse as advertised on the site) we could have brought in our own food to cook in the kitchen etc...The price is far too much in my opinion, but all the other guesthouse rooms in the city are!
눇The room was very clean, pleasant and private. I would have loved to stay for an extra night or 2, had we known in advance that we were to stay in our own private apartment.

“Great location, helpful staff, but cooked breakfast only good value if you can eat the gut buster!”
- • Business trip
- • Couple
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 3 nights
눉The bed was too small for two people. Cooked breakfast was not included in the room price and at a fixed €14 per person, regardless of which cooked breakfast you chose, it seemed excessive for the two or three scrambled eggs on a piece of white toast which I had. Yet the 'full Irish', which I would not be able to eat, with sausage, bacon, pudding, tomatoes as well as eggs, was the same price! Different pricing for different breakfast options would be an excellent and better value idea.
눇Good muesli was amongst the breakfast cereal options. Scrambled egg, and the homemade bread were delicious. As much tea as you could drink.

Okay

눉I was really disappointed with this accommodation - the room we were given did not reflect the pictures on the website in any shape or form. Whilst the staff were excellent, breakfast was lovely, I really felt short changed as this was the dearest of all the accommodation we booked on our trip. The room was very small as was the bathroom, whilst it did have a shower, sink and toilet it was difficult to move around with cracked floor tiles. I think the hotel next door was owned by the same people and wonder whether the pictures used on the website are from the other hotel - Extremely disappointed.
눇Staff were lovely and very helpful. Very close to the city centre, within walking distance of all restaurants and bars.

눉We have stayed in many b&b's in our time but this was terrible! The bathroom was a disgrace with mould all over the tiles and shower area and the damp musty smell throughout was very off puting considering the cost this place is a no no. When booking it also said breakfast was included but women insisted it was not and said we would have to pay a further 18 euros. We decided not to bother as I felt the cleanliness left a lot to be desired!!!rip of

“Good for early risers”
- • Leisure trip
- • Group of friends
- • Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
눉Zero soundproofing - you can hear a pin drop in the kitchen! Not a problem if you are an early riser, otherwise I would not recommend, we could hear the electric mixer and plates being stacked for breakfast starting at 7am, cleaning staff started at about 8am and were banging the hoover at our door. So if you are hoping for a little lie in - don't stay here.
눇Bed was comfy, room was very spacious, plenty of storage also. About half an hour walk from the train station, it's a nice walk to the city centre, bus stop just down from the property also. Good size car park out the back if you drive.
