Killarney View House B&B

Horrible If I could - I would not even give it a one star rating From the moment myself and my friends arrived (5 of us altogether) we were approached by the owner who told us to “be quiet” as she did not want the “Americans” to request a refund due to noise. We didn’t think much of it but then when we walked in we realised we made a bad decision paying to stay here. I would not call it a B and B it was more like a school dorm, everything extremely outdated and we were given “Rules” to abide by. We walked into our room and could smell mould. There was no toiletries in the bathroom, no soap to wash our hands, no hand towel to dry our hands and only one towel per bed. There was no iron, no kettle and no tv. The bed was damp and the room felt miserable. We had the view of the lake but we had the insects that came with that view, all over the shower and our bed boards. We left the B and B that night to go for dinner, when we came back the hotel room was absolutely freezing, we were all shaken from the cold. I mean we paid enough money to stay here you could at least put the heating on? The door would not lock from the inside as the door knob and the whole interior was dated from the 80’s. We had to sleep with the door unlocked? Extremely unsafe ! We woke up the next morning and the walls were dripping with condensation, the bed sheets were damp and the windows were soaking with the condensation!!! I went for a “shower” you would get more of a wash if you went into the lake, a dribble to wash yourself with! When we checked out, the lady at the reception asked us how our stay was, we told her it was not great and that the room was absolutely freezing, to which we received an odd look as if she never heard this remark before about this B and B. She did not apologise for the inconvenience of this which I thought was odd? We were walking to our car in the Cark park and the owner went out of her way to ask what room we were staying in and if we definitely have back the keys??? Very condescending and rude behaviour from an owner? I feel like this is a place for the owner to get quick money, a tourist trap! There is no sense of hospitality here. Do not bother staying here, the worst place I have ever stayed! The pictures are NOTHING like the “B and B” Definitely not coming back and extremely disgusted with the conditions we had to sleep in that night!!! Very very odd

The rooms are basic in terms of amenities, but more than make up for with their views. Waking up to the sight of the river is beautiful. Moreover, I was impressed by the cleanliness maintained throughout the accommodation. One of the highlights of my visit was the warmth and hospitality of the staff. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with genuine smiles and helpfulness, making me feel instantly at home.

It was less than satisfactory . For the price they charged it was really bad. We expected much better for this price and the pictures are nothing like the reality. Very basic and depressing rooms. Shower would not clean you, a dribble at best. No soap in bathrooms, glasses but not water. Bed was damp.

The worst experience ever! We stayed here on a Friday in Dec after attending a wedding in a nearby hotel. My husband checked us in and returned to meet me at the local hotel to tell me that the accommodation is shockingly poor. I told him it would be fine as it's only 1 night but when we got back to the hotel room, the room was absolutely baltic! The carpet, bed and duvet felt damp and there was no heat in the room. When I felt the radiator, it was tepid at best. There was no soap provided, just a miniature body wash bottle left on the bed. The sink was in the bedroom while the toilet & shower were in another tiny room. The window was single paned and by the morning it had condensation dripping down the inside. All the guests at the breakfast the following morning were discussing how bad the cold was in the BnB. I've never experienced anything as poor in my life. Never again!

This was a beautiful place to stay! Scenic views from our windows, clean facility, so easy to walk to anything in Killarney. We had a great stay at this bed and breakfast. The staff were very friendly and super patient with our toddlers during breakfast times. We genuinely enjoyed everything about this stay.

We cannot recommend this place at all. Room number 2 (in August) was very damp and smelt it. As a consequence, in the mornings our clothes hanging in the open closet were damp as well. The breakfast was good and the staff at breakfast were courteous, friendly and helpful. However, there were no tea making facilities in the room, which is a bit miserly. Regrettably, this venue is trading on its location in Killarney so obviously doesn't feel the need to provide the basic level of accommodation - if room N0. 2 is anything to go by. So, as a couple resident in Ireland we found this very poor value for money indeed. We will not be back!

The location is really good near to Killarney city and the Celtic dance show. You also have a lot of sights around you - both in the city, The National park and the Ring of Kerry, so you can spend many days here. The B&B was both good and terrible.... We got a very, very small room to begin with. The windows closed very badly, so you heard the noise from the road just outside very clearly. You only got one towel and a little bottle of soap per person. The bathroom was small - zink was outside. Shower was so small you could hardly get in there if you are a large person. It was extremely moist in the room. Out clothes got damp from hanging in there which was not very nice. The bedstands was dirty on the top - you could not see it, but you could easily feel it. One bed was broken - you felt the frame of the bed and the springs so it was a horrible night. The next day we got moved to a newly renewed room with a new bathroom and good beds. That was very nice. The windows was also bad in there and still only one towel per person - it would be nice with at least one smaller one for handwas, a bar of soap and a floor towel in front of the shower. Breakfast is very nice - you choose from four variations and get toast and hot drinks. But only orange juice is available. Staff was very friendly. The owner was very eager to solve our problem with the room, which we appreciate a lot, but this room should not be used for adults and one bed neds to be changed.

The view is a beauty, but the rooms are nothing short of spartan. The lock on the bedroom is of the bedroom variety, with no interior deadbolt or security chain. Wireless did not work in the room. Total of two bath towels provided-no wash or handtowel. And no top sheet in the (very hard) bed..had to sleep under the blanket directly. Breakfast was average. Proceed if you must, but with low expectations.

The view house is nestled about a 10-15 minute walk from downtown Killarney. It’s a beautiful restful spot, with a wonderful deck to view the river. Great spot to bird watch and we even saw the occasional Otter during our stay. There was four options to choose from for breakfast and all were wonderful. Our trip was completed with helpful suggestions from Nita and wonderful conversation with owner Mary.
