Top Glencar Hotel Reviews

Eviston House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, rooms were clean. Bar with pool and darts on main level. Would both recommend and stay again. Great location. Sauna and gym."

The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely beautiful location, close to town and the national park."

Hotel Killarney

8/10 Good

"Very large place. We were as far away from front desk & bar/restaurant as I believe possible. Luckily could park near back door."

The Gable Dingle

8/10 Good

"Property is located in an excellent location. The hotel is brand new, with exceptional design taste, although the rooms are quite small but very functional and tastefully accessorized."

The Ashe Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our room....upgraded to the Derry suite! Fantastic stay, only wish it could have been longer."

Killarney Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall, the hotel was a good value for the location. The staff was friendly and helpful when we had questions. An oddity to us was that there was no staff on site from about midnight to 7 am, so early checkout is a matter of trust when leaving the key card on the counter. A plus is that a key card is needed to gain entry into the hotel during off hours and entry to the elevator at all hours. The breakfast was an ordinary buffet: three types of egg preparation, bacon slices, tomatoe halves, banger, beans and assorted pastries/juices/cereals/breads. The breakfast buffet did notbori change day to day, so it was a bit boring knowing that there were no different choices."

Killarney Court Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were so very helpful and it was very convenient to have a pug on site. The breakfast in the morning was tremendous, and once again the staff there were such a big help."

Killarney Avenue Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful centrally located hotel. Walking distance to everything. The king bed is actually 2 twins pushed together so not as comfy as a real king but still good. Underground parking is tight but very convenient."

Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"After traveling many days through England, Scotland, and four full days touring Ireland, it was so amazing to just take a reprieve here. The room, staff and accomodations were top notch, I highly recommend!"
