Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely hotel in central Killarney. They offer free bike hire but we didn't have time to make use of that. Really comfy beds, clean rooms. There is a safe and air con but no fridge. Looks a little dated but perfectly adequate and still feels like a treat to stay there, especially with the pool and sauna/steam room. We booked Cafe du Parc for dinner, which ended up being a bit noisy for the kids (busy with drinkers), so we took it up in takeaway boxes to our rooms and went back down for dessert afterwards when it had quietened down a bit. Great food and drinks. The staff in both Cafe du Parc and within the hotel were brilliant, went out of their way to help and really looked after us. Would stay at the Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa again, but for 2-3 nights rather than one, if we could."

"The location is what makes this property a great choice. The staff was very courteous. The doors and windows were a large issue to open and lock; the property was dated, and the outside balcony area (had to keep doors open due to heat ) was pretty poorly maintained. All that being said, the location really makes it worth it."
