Great Southern Killarney

Beautiful hotel perfectly located a stone throw away from Killarney city centre. Friendly staff & fantastic service at both check in & breakfast. Will definitely stay here again & highly recommend.

I used the beauty rooms while staying at one of the partner properties (Royal Killarney). It was right around the corner from my hotel and the front desk staff were very helpful when I arrived. I had a full body massage with Buci (spelling?) which was incredibly relaxing and she was great to check in with me throughout the session. I also had a manicure which looked great and the technician gave me recommendations of places to go while in Killarney. It was a welcome retreat after a few days of sightseeing.

Killarney being a favourite yearly destination I decided to take an early in the year few days respite. Not driving this trip, I took a train journey for the short trip...and not having my bicycle as usual with me, on the recommendation of my Son, instead of staying out on the Muckross Road, he suggested staying nearer the town....and highly recommended the Great Southern Hotel, where he had spent Christmas with his family...it was soooo convenient...across the road from the train station...The Hotel looked amazing...standing tall on its own....a wonderful warm greeting from the Porter in the entrance Hall, with a big open fire, blazing and welcoming...very friendly receptionists...efficient and helpful....I was allocated a super room on the 4th floor, overlooking the most beautiful Gardens, with a Balcony...I loved it...big spacious Bathroom and spotlessly clean....Breakfast next morning I enjoyed....Kathleen was so friendly and being on my own I appreciated the chat....wandered out around Killarney Town, browsed and shopped....and then back to the Hotel for a very tasty Fish Chowder....I made use of the Spa facilities...very nice pool....gorgeous warm jacuzzi, and an 80 minute full body massage, which eased my sore bones after several falls and a broken wrist...felt really well after it, and,the friendly therapist with a big smile was excellent. On leaving for an early train this morning , before breakfast, one of the Porters, Holland, I have to say was amazing altogether...he went way beyond the call of Duty in helping and organising my departure....and he was sooo good humoured and friendly in his manner...outstanding....Waiting staff organised for me to takeaway a goodie bag for my train journey as Breakfast room was not open until 7.30...A big Thank you for that...and to cap it all, Rolland asked a Porter coming on duty to bring my bags over to the train station for me...Another Gentleman, Romanian, seen me to exactly where I,would board the train....really appreciated that....very friendly and chatty...so Thank you too...overall I loved the Great Southern and will make it my go to destination in future...I love the National Park, cycling through it in safety and on to Muckross and Torc.. it all ties in so conveniently....a good selection of good Restaurants in Killarney Town....with Foleys being our favourite.. we hope to book for the Christmas Package, my Husband and I....instead of going to the Sun, our intentions are this year, a Traditional Christmas in Killarney... Thank you Great Southern I really enjoyed..
