We enjoyed our stay at this property! The staff was very attentive & helpful. I wished we could have stayed longer to enjoy more of what the hotel had to offer. Very good location also to many attractions.

We had a fabulous stay at the Great Southern. Our favourite hotel in Killarney! We got married here and were celebrating our anniversary. The hotel's attention to detail, service and care made it extra special. We will be back again soon❤️

I arrived at the Great Southern after a difficult experience at another hotel, and from the moment I checked in the staff made me feel completely at home. The hotel itself is stunning, in my opinion a true 5 star experience, beautifully appointed and in the perfect location right in the heart of Killarney with everything on your doorstep. During my stay I fell ill and needed urgent care late at night, a staff member personally made sure I got to the right place safely. When I couldn’t get to the pharmacy myself, they went and collected my medication for me. That alone is above and beyond anything I’ve ever experienced at a hotel. But it didn’t stop there. I accidentally left my Kindle on a bus and somehow, I still don’t know how, the team tracked it down and had it delivered to my room. I was speechless. And when I briefly mentioned my previous hotel situation at check in, a gorgeous plate of chocolate covered strawberries arrived at my room shortly after. That small, thoughtful gesture set the tone for everything that followed. I’m a solo traveller and being sick alone in a foreign country is scary. The Great Southern made me feel completely safe, cared for and looked after at every turn. This isn’t just a hotel, it’s a team of genuinely wonderful human beings. I will return to Killarney just to stay here again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

We had an amazing stay at the great Southern Killarney, our stay was enhanced by the excellent information provided us by the concierge Sean who helped us immensely to enjoy the beautiful area surrounding Killarney. Our room was magnificent. Everything about our stay was perfect and we hope to return.

We booked two rooms for our family and our stay coincided with the heat wave. One was interior but had a/c and was quiet at night. The other was an upgraded suite but it did not have a/c so the only option for air flow was to keep the balcony door open. Sadly, the balcony opened to the hotel wedding reception area so our evenings were disturbed by music with heavy bass and chatter until 12:30am all nights of our stay.

Fantastic place, and an amazing value when the price dips under $300. Not quite the full 5-star service, but pretty close. A grand older building, with enormous grounds. Great food as well.

Beautiful hotel with past century charm, but modern in every way. This was an old Railroad era grand hotel. Rooms are huge with nice furniture. The staff could not have been better. Breakfast was excellent. Location is easy walking distance to pubs, stores, restaurants in downtown area. About 5 minutes drive to Killarney National Park. After having stayed 2 nights at Ashford Castle, I didn't think any other hotel could measure up. This one did.

This hotel was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Beautifully appointed and well equipped with all amenities. This hotel continued to impress me. The gardens outside are stunning. My family and I commented repeatedly on how impressed we are were with the location, the staff and the hotel itself self. This place is worth the stay you will not regret it.
