Foley's Townhouse
Killarney
23/12/2025: This is such a wonderful place to stay. Right in the town centre, with secure parking. I was there in December, the street was so beautifully decorated and the plave itself so cosy and historic but with all modern necessities. The staff members were most helpful- I had to get to a work party; the lady at the reception not only organised a taxi for me, she also walked me to the gate to ensure my safety. Furthermore, the price was more than reasonable for the time of the year Would highly recommend Foley's!
20/12/2025: Had a lovely stay here. The rooms were great and very accessible, the hotel was quiet and relaxing, and the bar was a nice bonus. The staff were all so friendly. I also left my headphones behind and they found them and posted them back to me, which I was so grateful for. Amazing service — would definitely stay again!

The Porter House
Killarney
31/01/2026: We looked at the reviews and decided we would have dinner here. What a mistake! The staff were lovely as was the place itself but the food is terrible and vastly overpriced!! My husband had fish and chips .. they were mediocre at best. Small portions and cold peas for an outrageous €24.90. I ordered the Brie and bacon burger and at €23.50 I would have expected the most delicious burger I have ever had but instead I received something that I would expect from a funfair or a very old 1980s burger van! It was of very poor quality and thrown together in an untoasted bun that was far too big for its filling… a small cup of skinny fries accompanied it …disgraceful! And to add insult to injury I was charged €12 for a glass of wine!! We live in Dublin and wouldn’t be charged prices like this …RIP OFF IRELAND!!
11/01/2026: Food was great however, service was very slow. Booking made for 8 and was not seated until 8:30 and food did not arrive until 9

The Mad Monk
Killarney
07/08/2025: Arrived at 1:15 and had the place to ourselves. Best oysters we have had in Ireland, and that's high praise. Food was delicious, our server, John, was excellent, and cannot recommend highly enough.
05/08/2025: Absolutely terrific service and fabulous food. Good value too. Don't miss a meal here when visiting Killarney. The fish is first class and so fresh.

Caragh Restaurant
Killarney
15/12/2025: Soup lukewarm....lasagne not nice...much too much tomato paste..not enough pasta..only nice part was the cheese on top...garlic bread needs to be crispy...chips nice...very disappointing...have gone here numerous times so this is a first bad review...
16/11/2025: Awesome local place. My partner and I were both roaming around and came across this find and the staff was lovely. However, we both did get sick after eating here. I had the beef stew and got food poisoning afterward, and my partner got sick too. I’m hoping this was just a random occurrence and/or something just affected me differently because it was really nice at the time of eating. Great staff, food choices, and atmosphere though.

Killarney Court Hotel
Killarney
21/02/2026: Its hard where to begin with my review.This hotel is definitely a 3 star hotel.In need of major refurbishment.Carpet in bedroom heavy stained.Toilet seat and shower door broken...maintenance came and sorted it,to be fair.Breakfast room very cold..no charcter,old tables with markings on them.Rang before we arrived to tell about allegens and intolarances but not alot of variety was offered.
Staff were pleasant but not over friendly...very matter of fact...However Eamonn the barman was an exception.Point of fact they charge you on arrival and whatever you have within the hotel is not put on the card...you pay directly for foods and drinks.The breakfast is buffet...you help yourself with everything...even to making your own beverages and toasting your bread...little things that make a difference in service.I could go on and I will say this is relevant to me.The exterior is not great but the car parking is good.All in all We wont be returning.
12/02/2026: Super hotel ideally located, easy to get to, very close to everything that Killarney has to offer. Lovely rooms, bar setting is excellent, and the food was delicious. Would highly recommend it.

the Failte
Killarney
28/08/2025: Seafood chowder is delicious. Fish and chips excellent. We ate here several times and loved everything we tried.
02/08/2025: We were here quite early on a Friday evening. Folk still leaving work ahead of a bank holiday weekend. There were only a few customers in at the time. A lot of reserved tables for later. The furnishings are mainly wooden chairs set around square tables, not very inviting when the pub is quiet.
The food was spot on. Good choice, reasonable prices for the area and very nice. Four of us had different meals, we were impressed by taste, portion size and service.
Beer and cider choice is better than some.

Killarney Oaks Hotel
Killarney
10/02/2026: We had a wonderful stay at The Killarney Oaks Hotel. The rooms were absolutely spotless and so comfortable, and from the moment we arrived the staff were genuinely welcoming and helpful.
Dinner was delicious and beautifully presented, and everything throughout our stay was efficient and well run.
There’s plenty of parking, which is a real bonus, and the hotel is within easy walking distance of local amenities.
What really stood out was the staff—they truly go above and beyond to make guests feel looked after. An absolute pleasure to stay here, and we’ll definitely be back.
08/02/2026: Staff in bar standing around doing nothing. Felt I was being rushed as Three times Staff came over to ask if I had finished my dinner when I clearly haven't.
Staff talking about personal matters at Bar. Staff getting angry at each other over mixed up orders. Was not told the specials and wish I had ordered something else then the awful chicken I had.

The Laurels
Killarney
25/07/2025: Food was good, but the portions rather small. The desert was a joke, we ordered the crumble and it was completely soggy and a tiny piece - absolutely not worth it. Service was good.
24/07/2025: Husband and I chose this pub while visiting Killarney. We love authentic Irish food so this place really hit the spot.
When we walked in, we were told that they didn’t have any tables left and they were completely full. There were a couple seats at the bar thankfully so we asked if we could sit there and eat, she said yes.
The two young guys behind the bar gave us some drinks quickly, waitress took our food order a few minutes later.
We decided to share the mini potato cakes (€8.95), which were pretty much mashed potatoes mixed with chicken and bacon, and then covered in bread crumbs and fried. It was covered in a mushroom creme sauce which was really good, with a small salad on the side (if you can call it that, it was really a couple pieces of lettuce, a single grape tomato and a drizzle of dressing)
My husband got the fish and chips (€17.70) which honestly was probably the best fish and chips he’s had so far during our trip. I was a little jealous of his food after I tried some of his. The fish was almost melt-in-your-mouth quality. Soooo good. I would go back just to eat that fish again.
I got the spinach and ricotta ravioli (€20.95) which came with a tomato and basil crème sauce, some garlic bread, and a handful of arugula on top. The pasta itself tasted good (jealous of the fish!) but the garlic bread was so crispy (not burnt) that it was almost too hard to chew. The dish would have been fine without the ‘salad garnish’.
The only thing I would point out is that obviously the pub is very busy, and it didn’t look like they had an ample amount of seating, but they must have turned away at least 20-30 people because the back of the pub was closed (due to a large party maybe?) and they just couldn’t find a place for those people to sit. So I guess we got there at just the right time?
Whatever - I would still go back JUST for the fish and chips ❤️
