Great boutique hotel. Highly recommend it. Be advised, however, that it’s a long walk from the hotel to the entrance of Killarney National Park. We wished we had rented a bike in town earlier in the day and ridden to the park.

This was a wonderful eclectic hotel and was a fun change to the normal hotel room you might be accustomed to. This made up for some signs of aging and wear and tear.

Please be aware that some hotel rooms may face the church’s cemetery. The staff and quality of hotel was superb! The hotel is within walking distance of the main shops and sightseeing. I felt comfortable walking later in the evening and parking was easily accessed (2 - 3 blocks away).
