Great service in classic style of hotel experience

The service is wonderful! Every staff member we interacted with provided above and beyond assistance! They provided timely updates on our room availability as we were several hours earlier arriving than expected. We really appreciated the extra effort after a long day of travel.

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.
