The Lake Hotel Killarney is a must stay. The view, the atmosphere, the service, and the hotel itself are all top notch. We stayed in 5 different accommodations in Ireland and this was by far the best.

This is not just a hotel - it’s a place steeped in history and you become part of it by staying here. Great service, love having the restaurant on site, beautiful live Irish music, and a view of the lake that can’t be beat. Wish we were staying a week instead of a night!

Lovely hotel in a great location

Lovely hotel in a fantastic location with gorgeous views. Breakfast was fantastic and great musicians playing in the evenings. They also make great cocktails. We just had one evening meal there which was quite disappointing, chicken wings and seafood linguini were both very bland. We might have just got unlucky with our choice. Love the work the hotel is doing to be more sustainable, particularly replacing water in the rooms with water stations around the hotel. However, I was shocked and disappointed to see disposable coffee cups left out for guests to take from the restaurant after breakfast given Killarney is working so hard to replace disposal cups with keep cups. The only time I saw a disposable cup while in Killarney was around the hotel. Easy to solve, just have keep cups with a deposit for guests.

The property was very nice. However, the bed was the hardest bed I’ve ever slept in. It was miserable. My wife slept in a single bed in the room. The staff was informed upon checkout and did nothing more

We stayed here for 6 days and I can honestly say the staff went out of their way to make everything a very pleasant experience . The restaurant food was excellent, the breakfast was good with many choices , the pub served well made drinks and nicely poured pints. Seeing the local deer herd was a bonus. The Muckross Abbey is within walking distance. The jaunting carts do pick ups at the hotel. Killarney center is s stone throw away. I can recommend!!
