Eviston House Hotel is a family run hotel at 97 New Street, in the heart of Killarney town, a short walk from the national park and a few minutes from the bus and train stations. It is the choice for visitors who want a comfortable bed, a warm welcome and a central position without paying for extras they will not use. The hotel advertises its standard rooms as best value rates, and also offers superior rooms, deluxe rooms with whirlpool baths, a family room and dedicated pet friendly rooms.
Location and getting around
You are in the town centre, so most of what you want is on foot, including pubs, restaurants, the jaunting car stands and the park entrance. The bus and train stations are a few minutes away, which helps if you are arriving by public transport or joining day tours, many of which pick up in town. Ross Castle, Muckross House and the Gap of Dunloe all need a tour, a bike, a jaunting car or a taxi, but the town is a good launch point for each of them.
Rooms and facilities
Standard rooms are simple and good value, superior and deluxe rooms add space, and deluxe rooms include whirlpool baths, which is a nice touch after a wet day on the trails. The hotel has the Colleen Bawn restaurant, with candlelit dining, and the Danny Mann Pub, known for lively traditional music, which means an evening out is downstairs. Free overnight parking is a useful extra in a town where spaces are scarce, and pet friendly rooms mean dogs can come along.
Who it suits and what to know: budget conscious couples, families, solo travellers and walkers looking for a social base with easy access to the park. Breakfast is not always part of the standard rate, so check your booking, as it features in dine and stay packages. Because the pub has live music, ask for a room away from the bar if you like to sleep early. Rates are low for Killarney, rise in summer, and the hotel offers a small discount for direct bookings.
