What a lovely, elegant place to stay in Killarney, close to the town center, but a quiet oasis harking back to a glorious time. The bar and lobby area of the hotel are gorgeous. Service is impeccable. And the breakfast is very good.

A charming traditional hotel with a beautiful garden area. Breakfast was excellent, both food and service. The majority of the guests were seniors.
It was a quick five minute walk to the main restaurant and pub area. I would go back sometime.

This has been hands down my favorite hotel I've stayed in. The history of this hotel and grounds is varied and interesting. The rooms were beautifully appointed. The beds were plush with firm and soft pillows to choose from. The staff is impeccable. Their attentiveness to our family during our stay made our stay memorable in the best way. The gastronomy options are excellent as is the wine and spirits selection.
Everyone should stay at this hotel! It was a charming and wonderful experience from beginning to end. Can't wait to go back!

Absolutely blown away! From the moment we stepped foot in GSK we were greeted and treated so kindly. We were told they upgraded our room and also added complementary breakfast to our two night stay. The room was immaculate and staff was always willing to help or guide us on our stay. Thank you for making our first visit to Killarney so special Great Southern Killarney! We will be back!

A True Gem in Killarney
I stayed here with my wife and toddler while the hotel was undergoing a renovation. Not only did we not notice the renovation - it was one of the nicest stays of our entire trip. The room was spacious, giving us plenty of space to spread out. There were even some extra things I didn't expect, for example a toddler sized rocking chair in our room, and a putting green. The hotel staff was attentive, accommodating, and extremely friendly. The hotel was clean, quiet, in a great location. I would love to stay here again someday!

Beautiful hotel but check in was bit bumpy. Arrived late but no staff to assist with bags and real confusion on valet options for car. Staff was friendly enough but did not seem to understand the process. Just a tick off our experiences at other fine Irish hotels. Just needs to button up their procedures a bit!
