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.

The Candle Room
Killarney
13/08/2026: Killarney Royal Townhouse was definitely the highlight of our trip. The service was outstanding, the room was incredible, and food was delicious. A personalized note and local treats were left for us when we arrived. We also received fresh scones at check out! These came in handy on a long train ride. The front desk staff was helpful at check in and with a small issue with the room window. For this very small inconvenience they offered us drinks in the restaurant another night. The turndown service with fresh water each night made us even more relaxed after long days exploring. Breakfast each morning was delicious. We enjoyed the made to order breakfast which was a nice treat after other hotels we stayed at. Also the location was perfect because you are walking distance to everything, but outside of all the activity. Everything was 5 star service! Thank you for making our stay so memorable.
06/07/2026: Absolutely amazing hotel. Everyone was so helpful and couldn't do enough to accommodate your stay. Highly recommend and a true bit of Irish hospitality.

Caragh Restaurant
Killarney
04/09/2026: Their homemade seafood chowder is incredibly delicious! I recommend indeed!
However, there is only one check per table available. So paying separately was not an option for us.
01/09/2026: The beef stew is to die for,can't wait till we are back on Kerry mid September, will definitely be visiting a few times even though we are staying on Valentia island.
Roll on September 16th.❤️🇮🇪❤️

Foley's Townhouse
Killarney
19/08/2026: The toilet in our room did not flush. The hotel staff came and tried a few times to discover that indeed it didn’t work. The manager managed to flush it and decided it was fine, and since we were told earlier that there are no rooms to move to and they cannot call a plumber to fix it (despite there being issues with that toilet in the last few days)- we had no choice but to stay in a room with a toilet that didn’t flush. Room number is 35 and I would absolutely refuse to stay there.
This was beyond disappointing, possibly worst hotel stay I’ve had in two decades or so. Thankfully we stayed only one night.
08/08/2026: Truly Wonderful Stay at Foley’s Townhouse Killarney
We had the most wonderful start to August at Foley’s Townhouse Killarney. This was not my first time in Killarney — I am simply in love with the beauty, charm and atmosphere of this town, and this stay made me fall in love with it all over again.
Although the hotel was fully booked, the team kindly went the extra mile and offered us a complimentary upgrade to a higher room category. Our room was absolutely beautiful — spacious, bright and filled with sunshine from the large windows. The bed was huge and the mattress incredibly comfortable. Everything was spotless and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed for a relaxing stay.
The location is unbeatable, right in the heart of Killarney. Restaurants, attractions and shops are all within a few minutes’ walk, with Dunnes Stores just four minutes away. We were also only a couple of steps from our favourite pub, where we loved listening to traditional Irish music and songs accompanied by guitar. And, of course, the evening eventually turned into dancing and disco! 😊
The jacuzzi bath in our room was another wonderful touch. After long walks and exploring Killarney, it was the perfect way to relax and unwind.
Breakfast deserves a special mention. The buffet offered a lovely selection of meats, cheeses, four kinds of yoghurt and many other delicious treats. And then we discovered there was even more — we could also choose from the breakfast menu! I ordered an omelette with cheese and vegetables, and it was honestly the best omelette I have ever had in a restaurant. Delicious, generous, beautifully presented and made with such care.
And that is what we loved most about Foley’s Townhouse — you can truly feel that everything is done with heart and attention to detail. There is a warmth and genuine hospitality here that makes you feel special.
We really didn’t want to leave. So we won’t say goodbye — we’ll say “until we meet again.” ❤️
Thank you for such a beautiful stay. We are already looking forward to coming back!

Avenue Hotel
Killarney
09/05/2026: Elegant hotel. Fancy. Best customer service thus far in Ireland! (Front desk and breakfast staff excellent!)
Tons of shops, restaurants and pubs within easy walking distance. Killarney is a very cute city. It has an "energy" vibe to it.
Minus 1 star for lack of available USB ports. In addition, the shower had poor temperature control. No cold water, believe it or not. The bath had cold water, yet when you switched the control to the shower mode, only three temperatures available: hot, hotter, and scolding, no matter how you adjusted the knob(s). {Only in room 119?...} Also, no hooks or towel bar to hang towels, etc. in the bathroom.
The WiFi was ok to stream, however, trying to send an image via text failed time and again.
Besides that, I highly recommend this hotel. A Celtic and Riverdance show most nights at 8:30 pm on the ground level. $37€ ?
Free parking under the hotel, however, very limited spaces on a first-come, first-served basis.
P.S. My opinion only: The Ring of Kerry was underwhelming. I guess I'm spoiled living in California with the coastal highway, the Sierra Nevada mountains, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park.
However, since you're here, you might as well drive it. Still lovely.
I suggest driving it Clockwise. The tour busses drive Counterclockwise, and you do not want to follow them and all their customers at every viewpoint. For every one car traveling clockwise, there were 30 to 40 cars traveling counterclockwise. Now you know!
20/04/2026: Perfectly located Quaint Home Feel Great Entertainment

Heights Hotel Killarney
Killarney
03/07/2026: I really enjoyed our stay at The Heights. My room was very cute and clean. The staff were all incredibly friendly. Special shoutout to Ken from The Mill Bar. He is really knowledgeable about local whiskey and helped us with a last minute reservation at a Michelin rated restaurant in Dingle.
In my opinion, the hotel has the perfect location, only a 4 minute drive to the center of town but also in route to the national park and the Ring of Kerry. I would definitely stay here again. 💚💚💚
Tip: when traveling in the summer, ask for a fan at check-in.
27/06/2026: The rooms were grand overall. The only downside was the heat-it was roasting while we were there, so it got a bit uncomfortable at times. Thankfully there was a fan in the room, which made a big difference.
We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was absolutely lovely. What really stood out though were the cocktails made by Alex. You could actually see the care he put into making them look special. He took his time decorating mine, and it genuinely felt like he wanted every guest to enjoy the experience. Fair play to him!
Alex is a brilliant barman-always smiling, always in good form, even when there wasn’t anyone at the bar. And to be fair… hes not hard on the eyes either! 😂
Would definitily recommend this hotel if you’re looking for a lovely place to relax and have a great time. We’ll happily be back.

Killarney Oaks Hotel
Killarney
03/06/2026: So surprised at how poor the food quality was in the bar. Ordered the vegetarian fajitas. The attached picture was allegedly guacamole... it looked like something poured from a bottle instead of guacamole.
Seating badly needs to be replaced or upholstered too.
This place gets rave reviews for weddings. I cannot understand after visiting the bar
23/05/2026: Very nice hotel, excellent service, friendly and accommodating.
