As an American, I often feel out of place when I am traveling around Europe. I am often not accustomed to the culture and language. However, the people of Killarney, Ireland made me feel as if I'd lived there for years, especially the Arbutus Hotel. I stayed in a suite with my 2 good friends and we had a blast!... more

The Arbutus was a 2 night stop on a tour. It was our favorite tour stop, although they were all just fine. It is more personal, more quaint. I thought the pillows were too flat, but the staff more than compensated for that small discomfort. I hate to name names, because I don't know them all, but Betty in the... more

This has been our second stay at the Arbutus. As per the last time, everything was perfect. The Hotel is comfortable and excellently located.

The Arbutus was first hotel on our two week cycling trip through the southwestern peninsulas. The entire staff was friendly and very helpful, the food was great, wireless internet was available in the lobby, rooms were clean and attractive.

From our initial greeting by Ina, who fixed us right up with tea, scones and bread in the pub (on a very rainy late afternoon), to the friendly barman, and wonderful Betty in the dining room, it was the staff that really made the Arbutus a stand-out. It's homey and historic, popular with visitors from Dublin (some of whom DO... more

Stayed 2 nights at the Arbutus Hotel. It was our anniversary so we sprung for an upgraded room. Unfortunately our view was of a back alley and our bed was like a hammock and we couldn't really tell what the extra money got us other than a queen bed. The hotel itself is pretty and deifintely well located about a... more
