If you’re planning a trip to Killarney or want a starting point for your trip, this is the place to stay. Walkable to all of Killarney, beautiful grounds, and most importantly, an amazing staff: Sean, Brian, Vera, Kathleen, Bibi, Tennyson, to name a few of the wonderful people who made our stay (this time, 3 separate stays totaling 7 days) memorable. Truly a five star experience.

We decided to have our wedding at Great Southern Killarney in May 2025 as we had previously been guests at two other weddings at the hotel and had been very impressed with the hotel and its staff. The Weddings Team were exceptional and kept in touch with us throughout the whole process to make sure that we had everything that we needed ahead of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, we arrived at the hotel and we were blown away by the reception we received. Everything was set up beautifully and exactly as planned and all of our guests complimented the venue. We never felt rushed on the day and everything that we needed was provided for us at the hotel. The staff were very attentive during the reception and the meal, with the food arriving promptly and everyone’s glass was topped up in good time. The hotel is in a great location and we would highly recommend the venue for any couple. We would like to also sincerely thank Jillian and the Weddings Team for making our day special and as effortless as possible. Darragh & Una Ruxton

My Great Southern experience was exceptional! Our room had been recently renovated and had a comfortable bed and ensuite that included a glorious soaking tub. The food was exquisite, especially the morning breakfast buffet. The Great Southern is a stone's throw from the center of town, restaurants, and bars --- everything that Killarney has to offer is literally right at your doorstep. Finally, the hotel management staff and concierge did everything they could (and more) to make sure we had the best of times in Killarney. Go there soon! It's terrific! P.S. it rains a lot in Ireland.
