The Brehon Hotel was a lovely place to stay. I wish we could have stayed another night. The rooms were superb - comfortable, well appointed, quiet and spacious. The bed and bedding were extremely comfortable and the bathrobe was plush and relaxing. The staff at the check-in desk were fantastic - friendly, helpful, efficient. Parking was abundant and convenient. We enjoy walking around town and this was ~20-25 minute walk from town, but was an easy walk for dinner. It was very close to a bike rental place so we rented bikes and rode all through Killarney National Park. I would highly recommend the Brehon as a lovely place to start and/or finish your journey through Killarney and the Ring of Kerry.

Very nice hotel, unfortunately the lady at the check-in desk was on the phone and had me wait 10 minutes before acknowledging me. The room was very nice but the water wasn’t draining in the bath tub.
