The Arbutus Hotel in Killarney is very centrally located, but other than the convience the true treasure of this hotel is the dining room manager Miss Betty whose gracious hospitiality makes the bus weary traveler feel like they are visiting a favorite aunt.

We had 2 rooms for 3 nights, checking in June 19. Didn't find it a big deal not having their own garage as we found parking on the street, and there are lots nearby. Both our rooms were designated as "delux" so that we had air conditioining. These rooms were dirty (carpet under the bed hadn't seen a vacum in... more

We loved our stay at the Arbutus Hotel because of its old world charm. It is a family run hotel over many generations with great character, which you can tell straight away with very personal input which means so much nowadays. The food was fabulous with fresh produce and wonderful touches of home cooking which we loved. Betty and the... more

Great location with an Old World feel. Right on the main street close to restaurants and pubs. Staff were helpful and breakfast service was prompt and friendly. Rooms on the street side can be noisy as people are out, milling around past 10pm, so if this bothers you ask for an inside room. Large rooms. more
