"Food disappointing"

6.0

Fabulous hotel, unbelievable location, friendliest staff you could meet but the weakness of the hotel is the food. The pastries for breakfast were tasteless. The choice in the Restaurant for dinner was very limited. The afternoon tea was mediocre (full of bread) the highlight of the afternoon tea was the scones. This is strange as the little scones for breakfast were appalling. Many of the hotels in Killarney have the little scones at breakfast but these are the worst. As nice as the Hotel is, very clean, well proportioned rooms etc, but the food, for me, is the deal breaker. I would recommend this hotel for bed (room only) but not bed & breakfast.

Breakfast was lovely and plenty available.

If been picky there was noise from above that kept my wife awake during the night for a bit. This was also evident in the morning.
