The Arbutus Hotel was a charming hotel, convenient to all the shops, restaurants, and pubs in Killarney. The staff was very accomodating and extremely helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the presentation was excellent. The rooms were large and clean with bathrooms that included both a shower with a separate large tub. If I ever return to Killarney, I will... More

The Arbutus Hotel is the ideal hub for day trips out of Killarney, and for touring the town itself. Centrally located on the main street, everything--bank, pharmacy, PUBS--is within easy walking distance. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. And the breakfast selection is the best around. I'm not normally a scone eater, but their's... More

So you have to unload your stuff on the busy street then drive up to the parking and walk back Now the pros: -Staff, awesome, both at reception and at the bar (they are... More

Recently stayed here for a family 60th in Killarney. The staff are really exceptional; warm friendly; you received a greeting every time you passed through reception which is unusual in most hotels these days. I was staying alone and ended up in a huge room with a double and a single bed; table chairs and a bathroom that had a... More

Loved this place, would stay again.

There is live music in the attached bar/lounge several nights per week. My only complaint is that the mattresses and... More
