“Great Southern's Killarney grandeur”
Great Southern Killarney is a historic railroad-era grand hotel — huge well-furnished spotless rooms, enormous immaculate grounds, an excellent breakfast and great restaurant plus a very good bar, a well-equipped gym pool and sauna, an easy walk to downtown pubs and shops beside a silent station and five minutes from the national park, and fabulous couldn't-be-better staff; Salvio's heartfelt welcome stood out. One caveat though: a guest judged it just short of full five-star service.
