“Old World Celtic Charm”

Arbutus Hotel

5 of 5 stars
N. Kentucky
May 5, 2008

A decades owned family establishment located in Center City Killarney within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The room was well appointed/decorated, immaculate and surprisingly spacious. The front desk staff as well as the dinning room personnel were extremely helpful, courteous, gracious and accomodating.

It has a three star rating, but, having traveled all over Europe, my husband and I would rate it a four star. We will not hesitate to stay there again and have already highly recommended it to friends and family who are planning Ireland excursions.

“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!
