Our hotel reservation for our two nights in Killarney was at Victoria House. This was a boutique hotel and big enough to not be a B&B.
Check in was just a desk by the front door and it was quick and friendly. Someone helped my parents with their bags as their is no lift and their room was up 2 flights of stairs. To the right was a bar area and it also had a patio attached. Right beside reception was the restaurant area where they had a dinner menu every night and breakfast in the mornings.
My room was on the ground floor and while the view wasn't much, the room was super cute. First, it had two single beds that were close but not quite together. They were comfortable though so it was all good. The room was decorated in purple and silver in a Victorian style. I loved the color combinations. Beside the closet nook I had a silver dressing table with a big purple cushion. It felt very fancy. It was hard to find plugs but I managed to get the coffee going in the AM. My parents room was bigger and also Victorian in nature but it had a sitting room and what appeared to be an American plug as well. Oh and wifi in rooms.
The location is a bit away from the middle of Killarney, so we usually took a cab but if you hadn't already been walking around all day you could totally walk it and many people did.
Breakfast had the juices, pastries, cereals, etc. sitting out and then you ordered from a menu if you wanted hot food. You could get the full fry up or just scrambled eggs or even kippers. I got the kippers just to freak my mom out and let my dad taste it. Hehe.
After my initial apprehension, I thought it was a really nice and unique hotel. If you don't mind being out of the city center then give this place a try.
