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.

A touch of luxury in the heart of Killarney Town. We stayed for two nights & everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Each & every member of staff went out of their way to make our experience a pleasant one, special shout out to Miranna in Reception who couldn’t do enough for us, a real asset to the hotel to have her. We’ll definitely be back

Great location. House deceivingly roomy. 4 good size bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Was only one parking space per house but we were aware and worked around it. Had to call to hotel for key and drop back on check out so maybe a lockbox could be considered. Nice touch having milk, tea, coffee and biscuits.

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..

This is hard because the hotel has good attributes and we would want to score it higher but a number of failings let it down. The good great location for the town. The old building and grounds are lovely. The suite we had was spacious and had pretty much everything you would want. The main restaurant for dinner was excellent. The staff are friendly and attentive no issues. Then the niggling little issues arise. Food in Brownes is very variable and on one night both entrees were virtually inedible. Breakfast trays always seem to have missing items. Restaurant breakfast portions vary day by day as if there is no set association. Avoid the front rooms delivery drivers banging and crashing at 4-4.15 am is not conducive. The killer is not changing information. At check in and on room cards stated breakfast begins at 7 am. You plan around this to find out oh no it’s now 7.30 and your whole schedule is ruined. May seem small if you are not tied to timings but critical when you are. So a 4 becomes a 3. Management need to fix these.

Stayed as a treat but will 100%be back. It is very luxurious classic and clean. Rooms are amazing we were lucky to be upgraded to a room with a balcony and garden view. Bed pillows etc all top quality. Staff were extremely friendly Sean to great us was also a top class touch. Our room was ready early at 12 o’clock which was 4 hours earlier than expected. Breakfast was amazing from quality of food to room vies and decor. One small improvement is speed of bar staff this maybe related to being very busy. Great location. Can’t wait to come back and try the spa.

Beautiful hotel with lots of charm and character. We were offered an upgrade to a deluxe room which was fabulous. Breakfast was in a period room, lots of choice and great service. Hotel walking distance to town centre and kilarney national park.
