The staff here was so amazing! We felt welcome from the moment we walked in. This hotel was perfect! The air conditioning worked really well, and we were able to control it from our own room, which is always a plus for older women. It’s location is right in the center city, close to everything. With clean rooms and quiet quarters, what more could you want? Bravo! We loved it.

The entire experience at The Ross was amazing! We were warmly greeted and provided helpful information about the gardens and castle. The room is gorgeous, bed comfortable and the bathroom is perfect with the deepest and longest bathtub! We ate in the Labe for breakfast, everything was delicious and the service staff were warm and kind!!

Upscale, modern hotel
The Ross is a very nice, modern, upscale hotel with wonderful staff. We stayed at another hotel in Killarney that had more Irish charm feel/character which we prefer. Location was very good and no complaints; just not our preferred style of hotel.

Really nice hotel that appears to be run very well and is up to date. We received a complimentary upgrade into an amazing room that, despite facing a busy road, was extremely quiet.
