I had made a special request months earlier that was accommodated upon arrival without even having to ask about it. Breakfast was home cooked and delicious every day. There was a fridge in the house that guests could use which was very valuable to us. (Also it had ice trays with ice in them!!!) Free water bottles each day. These sound like little things, but they were very much appreciated. Greta and her husband were just as wonderful as all the other reviews mentioned. Genuine and lovely. I was very surprised and honored to get to meet Billy during my stay. IYKYK. This was one of the best places I have EVER stayed based on extreme cleanliness and the welcoming atmosphere. It's located in a very quiet neighborhood only a few minutes walk to the busy town where every restaurant is excellent. The ring of Kerry is minutes away by car with stunning views you'll never forget. I could go on and on. If I return to Ireland, I'll definitely spend more time in the Killarney area, and Algret House will be my #1 pick. (Greta, if you read this, please tell Billy I said hi!)

No complaints; it was amazing and I loved it.

Greta is the star of this property. Welcome home from Grandma is how we were greeted. She clearly takes great pride in seeing to every detail. It's clean and well taken care of. Breakfast was well done and yes the cherry scones she makes are worthy of the reviews. It is on a quiet street and a 10 minute walk to downtown. She was very communicative via this app and incredibly friendly. Our room also had a kettle, tea and coffee, a small desk, two nightstands, a vanity desk and built in wardrobe. We didn't use the tv but there was a small one. There was also a common lounge that doubled as the breakfast dining area. She also provided a small fridge for guests to use which we appreciated.

Room itself was a bit cramped, especially the bathroom but it was clean and well taken care of. I'd hardly call it a con, just a consideration. Additionally there was no window in the bathroom and the bedroom one only opened a wee bit so in the summer it's a bit warmer but the town itself cools down at night.

Greta, the host, is one of the loveliest, kindest people you'll ever have the pleasure to meet! I felt like she was my "Irish nan" for three days. The cooked-to-order breakfast was delicious, and the cherry scones were out of this world! The room was very clean and bright, with a kettle and tea and coffee. The wifi worked well. The location is very quiet, yet only a quick seven-minute walk away from the town center and the bus / train. The town of Killarney is an excellent gateway to southwest Ireland. Three days were not enough, and I'd love to come back for a longer stay.

Charming little place, an easy walk from the town centre but on a quiet street. Greta was absolutely wonderful, a pleasure to have conversation with but also very efficient and caring as a host. Her scones were among the best I’ve ever had; I wish I could bake mine that nicely!! She even offered to modify breakfast options without us asking, and was happy to let us store our luggage with her after checkout until we could check into our next hotel. This is my second visit to Killarney and I would love to be back for a third and fourth time, and this would be top of my list on places to return to.

From the minute we arrived and greeted by our host Greta until we left with a warm cheerio, this was a great night's stay in what is a very welcoming and well appointed bed and breakfast This was an excellent facility with well appointed room which was exceptionally clean and warm. Good to see that there was bottled water in the room which helped if we wanted to make tea/coffee. Very comfortable bed and the shower was brilliant with plenty of hot water. Breakfast was delicious, all cooked fresh and the home made scones were an added bonus. Algret House is no more than a gentle 10 minute stroll into the centre of Killarney but it is far enough from the centre to guarantee no excessive road noise from traffic. Without doubt if we are ever back in Killarney, we will certainly be looking at staying in the Algret Bed and Breakfast again. A gem of a place at a very reasonable price.

Greta is an amazing host. Breakfast was the best we had during our whole trip and I want to go back already for her scones! The place is so clean and quiet and charming. The location is perfect for what we needed and we walked into town for all of our activities although we had a car. Parking was no problem either. She also had good recommendations as requested and was easy to contact prior to our arrival (we were running late). Highly recommend.

We could have chosen a bigger room, and will next time. My husband and I are tall and we had a lot of bags due to the length of our stay so we were a bit cramped. There were rooms that were larger and we probably could have switched but were really only there to sleep so it was fine. We happened to be there during a heat wave and very few places have AC in Ireland. The open windows worked a bit, but maybe having fans available for future heat waves (LOL) would be good.

Everything is perfect! Spotlessly clean throughout, ample choice of delicious breakfasts - with the most delectable homemade scones (thanks to Greta), a very comfortable bed, en-suite room, a kettle and plenty of refreshments in the room, a usb socket, a very handy shared guest fridge, a bookshelf and information leaflets/guides are available, great location for walking into the town, ample parking, and a very warm welcome from our hosts. Can’t rate this B&B highly enough.

Wow! Such an amazing stay! We stayed for two nights for a friends wedding. Firstly, Gretta was so lovely and welcoming. She gave us all the information we needed and helped us organise a taxi to our wedding reception. Room was lovely and cosy and was impeccable, amazingly clean!!! Loads of parking outside and situated in a lovely quiet estate less than 10 minutes walk to the centre of Killarney! We were wrecked on the second day after the wedding so napped during the day. When we woke, there was a little package at our door with some toiletries and fresh bottles of water; such a lovely touch! Last but definitely not least, was breakfast! WOW it was amazing! Best breakfast we have ever had and better than any we’ve had in 5 star hotels! Gretta makes beautiful home made scones and their menu has loads of options, not just a full Irish cooked breakfast. Poached/scrambled/fried eggs were all absolutely perfect both mornings. Literally couldn’t rave about it enough!! Gretta, you are a lady and you have such a beautiful business. Thank you for looking after us!

Nothing! Wish we could have stayed for longer and would love that brekkie every morning!

This was one of the best B&B experiences we have had in a long time. The rooms were quiet because of the carpet, the room layout was excellent - thought was put in to make sure you have a place for clothes, toiletry and everything else. Little things made all the difference - light being where it is, 2 chairs!!! for a double room who would have thought of that? Greta is an amazing host and we will stay there again if they are still hosting when we come back. The location is excellent, walk to all the stores and restaurants and Killarney house.

Alfred and Greta were incredible hosts. Their B&B is immaculately clean and in walking distance of everything. Breakfasts are amazing. The house is also far enough away from the chaos of the town so it is quiet at night.

The beds and pillows are pretty uncomfortable. I expected a very small shower, and this one was small. My partner is tall and has very broad showers and barely fit in it. This did not impact the amazing time that we had. A small shower for three days is no big deal when you compare it to the quiet, clean and convenient location.
