13/12/2025: Thank you so much for the sleep kit, spacious baths and great staff

08/12/2025: We really enjoyed our meal. The Sunday menu differs fro. The rest of the week, it was a selection of roasted meats and veggies served family style. Everything was delicious. 😋😋

27/11/2025: Nice street level premises, nice ambience, food and service 👌

13/12/2025: Good craic! Live music. Back room with dance music. Full pub on an early November Wednesdays night. Seems like Killarney's late bar. Small wait for a beer, but understandable and reasonable for the crowd they were handling. Well done.

13/12/2025: We spent a wonderful evening there with the most eclectic couples we've ever met. Sitting by the fireplace, we listened to traditional, Irish music and were entertained by children dancers, while enjoying pints and cider. We talked for hours with new friends from Canada and the UK. Fun, stimulating and just plain joyous. Can't wait to get back.

23/11/2025: Such an amazing hostel. The staff are wonderful. Extremely friendly, kind, warm and really welcoming. They are very informative and happy to help out with recommendations for things around Killarney and helping out with how to make the most out of your stay. The hostel itself is cozy, clean and spacious. Rooms have curtains and lockers (bring your own lock), mattresses are thick and comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and food storage including both and oven,double burner stove top cabinets utensils and two fridges. The hostel has 4 pet dogs that roam around the bottom floors and are very sweet. The hostel is truly a great stay. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely return.

19/11/2025: It's a friendly place, I loved how much open area they had for guests to get comfortable in (inside amd outside) the dogs and chickens were a nice touch. We had issues with our bedroom door and the main door not being locked at night, it's a cute but older spot so very creaky.

16/10/2025: Nice place friendly staff and good food

07/09/2025: I would not recommend staying at this hotel. The bed was very uncomfortable and the “double” bed was two twins pushed together. The staff was very unfriendly as well.

30/11/2025: Visited while camping in Killarney. To echo many of the other statements, the fish is awesome - I’m not usually a big pickerel fan and it was amazing. Chips are mid, the service was a little on the unfriendlier side, and the price of food was quite high for what you get; however, the view of the water is nice and it’s probably your best option for dining in the area.

04/11/2025: What a great little spot! Great food, great service, great view. The fish n chips were hot and delicious with a side of tangy coleslaw. Staff were friendly & helpful. There was a well-stocked table of condiments for your meal. Plenty of seating, great little atmosphere, with a spectacular view.

18/10/2025: Very nice coffee and great environment. The big breakfast was tasty!

18/10/2025: The best coffee I had in Ireland so far, opens early that was perfect since I was attending a conference and the staff were so polite

16/12/2025: We took a short break to the Killarney Towers for a Christmas shopping break. The hotel was perfect for our needs being in such a central location. Considering this is right in the centre of one of the most popular tourist towns in the country and has a leisure center, it was incredible value for money. Breakfast was perfect, and all the staff were lovely. A special mention to Anna in the leisure center who made a extra effort to encourage our 3yr old daughter, who was afraid to get in the water to start swimming.

11/12/2025: The hotel killarney is lovely and clean rooms are excellent bed is love and comfortable the swimming pool could be a bit warmer for the winder time of year and perfect summer month service was great good breakfast is good staff are lovely to deal with

25/08/2025: Loved both the Lake Hotel and Lakeside Bistro. The location provides amazing views of Killarney mountains and lakes! Service staff was amazing! We had some jet lag the found us awake at midnight. The serving crew, cleaning up the day’s service stopped to makes us a fresh coffee and real cream tray to take back to our room! The food was great and the bar atmosphere was cozy. Only wish the actual bar, itself, held more seats. The room was spacious with great views! Highly recommend it!!

05/07/2025: Really enjoyed our meal. Everything was plated well and was delicious. Dessert was impressive. My wife ordered the tiramisu and I had the pannacotta. Highly recommend both. And you can’t beat the view!

07/08/2025: Arrived at 1:15 and had the place to ourselves. Best oysters we have had in Ireland, and that's high praise. Food was delicious, our server, John, was excellent, and cannot recommend highly enough.

05/08/2025: Absolutely terrific service and fabulous food. Good value too. Don't miss a meal here when visiting Killarney. The fish is first class and so fresh.

06/08/2025: Comida increíble en todos los aspectos. IT fue nuestro 41 aniversario de bodas en la calle e hiciste ir una ocasión tan especial que siempre recordaremos. Personal muy atento y encantador. Muchas gracias por alegrarnos el día. No veo cómo puedes hacerlo IT mejor.

04/07/2025: We had the catch of the day, which was absolutely delicious.

12/10/2025: Very good burgers, nice lunch deal available. Fresh cut chips.

13/09/2025: Great spot to enjoy a burger and shake! Staff was kind, food was quick, and food was SPOT ON! They seem to have a limited menu, but they have it perfected.

14/09/2025: Amazing hotel, truly a gem within the area of Killarney, perfect location for those wanting to have class, optimal routes for ring of Kerry and truly the best roast I’ve ever had outside of country Australia. The Guinness is perfect for the critic, complimented by tremendous service that puts a lot of “Major” hotel and restaurants to shame. 11/10 would recommend.

14/09/2025: We enjoyed our 3 night stay at this hotel. It is in a great location within Killarney, and the room was nice. The parking here is limited and tight. We decided just to park in a nearby lot since we were taking trips around the area. I would stay here again.
