Location very central. We arrived to be met with a friendly smiling face. The complimentary cup of tea and ginger cake set the mood. Atmosphere and friendliness made it so relaxing. The whole place was spick and span. Well trained professional staff. Room spacious and very comfortable. The lovely 'sitting room' with a cosy fire made it seem we were... More

Was just lovely, we loved it from the moment we arrived until we regretfully left. It started with a friendly welcome including tea/coffee and divine homemade ginger cake. The room was very comfortable, the level of service impeccable but unobtrusive. The staff were always charming and nothing was too much trouble. Great location, close to everything but not noisy. Unhesitatingly... More

Delightful family run hotel right in the middle of town. Staff are extremely helpful & friendly. Our room was large & clean & decorated, like the rest of the hotel, in that lovely old world charm, without looking dated. The breakfast was included with our accommodation & it was excellent...a full Irish breakfast which will last you for the day.... More

We loved this place. It is pure charm, in the middle of everything in Killarney. Near the best restaurants and bars in the city; walking distance to Killarney National Park. The staff is friendly and the service is great. Breakfast is well cooked to order, and served until 11 so you can sleep in if you like; I loved their... More

My wife and I stayed here for four nights at the end of May. The entrance is not impressive and my first impression before from across the busy roundabout was ok, its only four nights. But as soon as we entered the threshold all of my preconceived notions dissipated. What a remarkable place, really nice, really comfortable, really cozy, really... More

We just returned from a week in Ireland, having stayed three nights at the Arbutus Hotel. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, room was sweet and cozy, breakfasts wonderful! The adjoining pub is where locals play the "real" Irish songs, and people were dancing and having a wonderful time! We could walk to everything-dining and shopping in Killarney was... More
