“What this hotel lacks in modern polish, it more than makes up for with its central location, placing guests directly above a lively bar that closes at a reasonable hour. The rooms are clean, and the updated bathrooms offer a strong shower, a welcome feature after a day exploring Killarney. Though some may find the stairs challenging and the décor a bit worn, the attentive staff and fresh chamber service contribute to a homely atmosphere that's hard to beat.”

Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Failte Hotel from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Failte Hotel enjoys a superb central location, placing guests steps away from Killarney's shops and restaurants, and just a short walk from the national park. Many visitors find the family rooms spacious and appreciate amenities like air conditioning, and some have found the decor modern and tasteful, particularly in rooms located directly under the roof. The on-site bar often features live music, and the restaurant on the second floor is popular, with the lamb chops being a frequently praised dish; however, some guests have noted occasional noise disturbances. You can also easily park your rental car in the nearby parking lot.
