Positive Reviews
positive:
Very friendly staff.
Guests rave about the warm, professional staff running all areas of the hotel. Many guests describe the hotel as particularly "child friendly", with kind staff who have been known to bring the little ones complimentary milk and cookies. Kids love the pool
positive:
Excellent location.
The hotel is outside the "hustle and bustle" of Killarney city centre, but still close enough that guests can reach the area quickly and easily. It is also exceptionally convenient for hikers and bikers, with the Killarney National Park and Ring of Kerry
positive:
Clean, cosy rooms.
Guests generally describe their rooms as very clean, with comfortable beds and homey furnishings. While many guests enjoy the choice of firm or soft pillows, others enthuse about the amount of space or quiet nights.
Negative Reviews
negative:
A little old-fashioned...
Several guests have described the decor as a little tired or dated, while others were dismayed to find too few free electrical sockets in the rooms for charging their devices.
negative:
Technical difficulties...
The Holiday Inn Killarney does not provide free Wi-Fi in the rooms, and guests generally report reluctance to pay extra for the service. Some of those who did, or who made use of free service in the lobby area, found it a bit slow for their purposes.
negative:
Can't get into the swim...
Several guests found the pool hours too limited, or were disappointed by the age restrictions on the hot tub. Others found it was too small, or else too filled with happy kids to swim laps in. A few also felt the area needed more maintenance.
