What a cool spot! Located right in the town center just steps away from everything Killarney has to offer. The staff was absolutely amazing and made the stay so comfortable you felt like you were staying at a family members home. They even surprised us with one of their premier king rooms since it was my wifes birthday. Buckleys Bar was a cool spot and had great food, so did the breakfast every morning downstairs. The room was very historical, but clean and tidy, my wife absolutely loved it. I would highly recommend this hotel for anybody looking to get a real original taste of Killarney!

Guest reviews
Arbutus Hotel averages 4.6 out of 5 across 546 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
This has been our best to stay in Ireland thus far. The place is very charming, more like a B&B. Breakfast is a full menu included with room prices. Tons of charm. The rooms are very clean with all the necessary amenities. The beds were the most comfortable I have been in in years. Crisp sheets, etc. There is a full restaurant and bar adjacent, which is cozy and has good hours. Highly recommend this place. Parking is easy there is a lot a block away for a very reasonable cost.
The Killarney is a superb establishment and I think my favorite stay in Ireland. The big bonus is having a wonderful bar and restaurant with music at night. From the train it was only 2-3 blocks walk for me and the other way everything I needed plus more was within walking distance . The history and eloquence of the place seemed m soaked in the walls. I highly recommend the Arbitus experience for anyone traveling within the area.
