My wife booked this hotel (guest house makes it sound shabby) for St Patricks day. I didn't read any reviews till we got back. I'm surprised it is getting bad press. The staff were loveley, the room & general decor was great, good beds nice big TV and a modern clean bathroom. what more do you want from a hotel?... more

Agreed: Location, great. Price was reasonable, etc. but be very careful if they offer you their "B and B" which is apparently, just their house down the street with what appears to be one guest room (maybe 2?). Their kids are extremely loud (yelling, crying, running, playing TV/Music) Also seemed to be banging around all day long (not sure if... more

Our last trip into Killarney we booked into another b&b but didn't like it at all. Luckily I remembered reading about the Fairview on the internet and went straight up Plunkett St. to find it. James the owner was quite cordial and we rented a room in the back with a double and single bed. The rooms there were beautiful... more

My partner booked this for a valentine's day surprise. While it's an upper standard guesthouse, my partner was disappointed when we arrived. He paid extra to have a Jazuzzi in the room (beware of this as it's only a jazuzzi bath in the bathroom!!) it's like a nice 3 star hotel, but a little bit pricey for what it is.... more

I had a horrible experience when I stayed in the Fairview Guest House. Firstly, we were not allowed to check in until 6.00 in the evening (I have never experienced such a late check in before). We stayed two nights there and when I went to check out and pay in the morning the lady at the reception, who I... more

In January this was a welcome place to stay when a lot of Killarney hotels were closed. We upgraded to a deluxe room for an extra 5 euros each (total 80 euros per night). It did have the 'king-size' bed (i.e., two joined singles) but not the plasma tv we thought was promised. The heated floor in the huge bathroom... more

Lovely guest house. Conveniently located so close to everything. We loved walking out the front door and straight to the main shops, pubs, restaurants. Room was large, we had a double bed and a single bed although we just booked a double room. The window looked straight into the neighbouring property (we think the pub kitchen!) so we kept the... more

We arrived in Killarney at about 7pm, without a booking and at low season. As it was the Fairview offered us a cracking deal on a double room. The hotel, as with much of Killarney itself, has a very American feel to it. The room, bathroom and entire hotel were exceptionally clean and tidy. The bathroom was huge, with large... more

I agree completely with the previous reviewer. I have never experienced such bad service in a 4-star hotel before. I am not quite sure how they got their 4 stars but it certainly isnt anything to do with facilities, demeanor, service and general ambience. We had to queue for 40 minutes to get breakfast and when we could get in... more
