Fantastic place. Very close to train station. Amazingly friendly staff. Rooms are very clean. We spent a weekend here for my partners birthday and we loved it so much she booked a weekend here in August for mine. Forget The Med, we,re going to enjoy Murphys and Killarney this summer. Food is amazing between both the Bars and the Restaurant.... More

Highly recommend this hotel for someone looking for really nice people, great location (especially with respect to the train station), clean basic rooms, great food and good Irish music at night. When my sister became ill around 9 pm and needed more privacy than our triple room allowed, Murphys rented a room next door to the triple for my daughter... More

My family of 5 (3 teen daughters) stayed at Murphy's in early April. The 2 rooms were large and clean, but be careful in the shower, they are narrow and slippery and high. Breakfast in the morning was large, tasty, and included in the price. FYI parking for your car is not included or on the property. There is expensive... More

Stayed at Murphys for one night as we were having a meal in Lord Kenmares (which was fab). Rooms spacious and very clean, the bed was very comfortable. One critism though was the TV was on the small side and only 4 channels, didn't matter to us as we were only there for 1 night but if you were staying... More

I visit Ireland every year and always stay at Murphys. The location is ideal, in the center of town. The rooms are clean, the food is excellant and the service is great. I would highly recommend this place and have sent many people there to visit. More

Our first dinner in Killarney. I had the Lamb Shanks and my wife had the Hake. We both really enjoyed the food. The two waitresses in our area were always in and out and easily accessible if we needed anything. All and all probably one of the better and better priced establishments in Killarney. More

We walked the 500 m to Murphy's from the train station. Killarney is a small town so viewing the locale is a short walk from the guesthouse. You can see most of it within an hour or so. We occupied room 213 which was towards the back. It was clean and spacious as was the bathroom. I believe the place... More
