“Cathy & Jim, Roscommon”

Arbutus Hotel

May 3, 2008

We spent a wonderful weekend in Killarney. The Arbutus might not have flashy pools but they more than make up for it with their warm and friendly atmousphere. The staff were excellent and helpful (hallo to Betty and Vicky). A quiet charming and elegantly run hotel.

Hope to see you again sometime.

“The hotel was fantastic , service was great,”

Arbutus Hotel

Apr 28, 2008

Very much enjoyed our stay, the hotel is very nicely appointed. The staff could not do enough and the food was very good. An additional treat was the afternoon tea with assorted cakes and pasteries. The hotel is also located near all Killarney attractions.

“Irish hospitality at its best”

Arbutus Hotel

Apr 27, 2008

We had a lovely time at the Arbutus hotel. The hotel has a warm and welcoming atmosphere because of its dedicated staff. It's in a great location, right in the heart of Killarney. The breakfasts are great, thanks to Betty and her colleagues. We highly recommend it if you're traveling through Killarney!

“Fanily weekend break in Killarney”

Arbutus Hotel

5 of 5 stars
Cork, Ireland
Apr 20, 2008
1/1 found this review helpful

We travelled from Cork to Killarney with our 10yo daughter for a weekend break. This hotel's location is really perfect, being slap bang in the middle of the town and walking distance to everything in the entire town. From the moment we walked in the door (well, before actually because we had to telephone the hotel with a booking change) the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel public areas and the rooms are traditionally decorated and very tasteful and comfortable. Our deluxe room had a 5' double bed and a single bed for our daughter and still had plenty of room. The bathroom was large and airy and well equiped. Breakfast was fantastic - we did not eat dinner in the restaurant (which we regretted) and the bar was fun and lively.

Hard to fault this hotel - considering it was very reasonably priced. Very good value indeed. We would definitely consider staying there again.
