My husband and I are just back from a weekend staying in the Ross Hotel. I would agree with all the reviewers before me regarding staff, dining etc, it was excellent. I would like to add though that when you are booking the hotel you must consider that it is in the centre of town, and that can have its advantages and disadvantages. For us the disadvantage was that we stayed in room 309, and it overlooked a bar in the lane at the back of the hotel. We really didn't get much sleep with all the noise that that entails, especially as people were drinking and smoking outside the bar into the late hours. (Just to add we didn't go to bed until 12.30 or 1am, but I think thats earlyish in Killarney!) We could also hear all the noise from the hotel bar, which seems to be 'the place to be' for the younger crowd. All in all though we did enjoy our stay. I had a fab massage and facial in the Hotel Killarney Park, which I would highly recommend. But if I was to stay again, maybe I would go midweek, as I guess that would be a quieter time, given that the bars close earlier and the weekends seem to be very busy with stag and hen parties.

I've just returned from a fantastic stay at The Ross Hotel in Killarney. A group of us spent the weekend there to celebrate my sister's hen, and we couldn't have asked for a better hotel.

From the outset, the staff couldn't have been more helpful in assisting me with all of the arrangements and organising the rooms (special mention to Anita!!). I rang them on very short notice when previously booked accommodation fell through, and they really made all of the (re)arrangements so much easier. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome, and we were even more pleased when we saw the rooms, which were very comfortable and inviting. Breakfast on both mornings was excellent with loads of choice and great service. We ate in the hotel restaurant on the Saturday evening and again everyone was delighted with the menu options and the quality of the food.

A few of us used the pool and hot tub facilities in the Park Hotel across the road and there were a number of facials and massages that received glowing reviews.

All in all The Ross is an excellent choice for a weekend in Killarney. It's in a great central location, has beautiful, comfortable rooms and the staff are amongst the friendliest and most helpful I've every encountered. I should also mention the bar food which was good enough to lure us back in for brunch after we checked out on Sunday!! I'm already planning a return trip!

Have just spent 4 nights at the Ross and everyone of our party of 12 golfers was enthusing about the place from the size of the rooms,the quality of the food in the restaurants to the buzz in the bar but most of all about the friendly helpful staff.We will be back.

My friend and I were traveling through Ireland with no plan other than to see everything we could in 3 days, 1 of which was spent in Kilarney. From the moment we entered the hotel, I knew we were going to have a blast! The hotel staff was more than accomodating with our luggage, to showing us the hotel, and suggesting what to see on our way to the next adventure. The rooms were gorgeous and would stay there over and over again. From the comfortableness of the beds to waking up of the clickty-click of the horse and carriage in front of our hotel exuded passion and romance. It was the one of the best experiences! Thank you The Ross!
