My husband and I just returned home after a wondering week long trip to Ireland. I want to share a 5 star review of The Lake Hotel in Killarney! Wow did they impress us! It was absolutely worth splurging slightly for a room. The view from our room was spectacular, the restaurant served the best food and cocktails we had the whole trip, and the staff/service was unmatched. We felt like royalty! When we shared that it was our honeymoon, the surprised us with chocolates and a print waiting on our bed! If you’re staying in Killarney, i would highly recommend the Lake Hotel!

This hotel has one of the best mountain views in all of Killarney. It's located off the town center about 1.5 miles, so it's not a super easy walk to town, but doable if the weather is ok. The interior is full of antique furnishings and memoribilia from the hotel over the years. The bar is welcoming and bright and the Bistro restaruant has good food and service andd great views of the mountains. We did not eat at the main dining room. The lodging areas are a bit tired and dated, but I find this pretty typical in Ireland. I did not find this to be a huge negitive, however. It's just part of the charm. Most of the rooms (but not all) have Lake Views. You'll want one for sure. Killarney is a lovely part of Ireland and a good jumping off spot to so many tourist spots. It's my favorite place to stay. I'd recommend if you are in Killarney to try to stay at The Lake Hotel at least a few nights. The view is worth it.

We loved our stay here. The breakfast buffet was excellent, the rooms were cozy, the view was amazing, and the staff were friendly. Our only complaints were that the sink either had super hot water or super cold water so no adjusting the temperature and that the rooms lacked AC so we had to throw a fan they provided in the window at night to make the room a decent temperature. Otherwise, we will be back!

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The property truly delivers a five-star luxury experience in every way. The rooms were beautifully designed, spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable with stunning attention to detail. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable — warm, professional, and always willing to help with anything we needed. The service throughout the hotel was flawless and made us feel genuinely welcomed and valued. The amenities were outstanding, especially the dining experience, which was world-class. Every meal was delicious, beautifully presented, and accommodated our dietary needs perfectly. The atmosphere throughout the hotel was elegant, relaxing, and luxurious without feeling overwhelming. The location was also perfect, making it easy to explore the area while still feeling like a peaceful retreat. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations, and we would absolutely return again. Highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a true luxury experience.

I cannot say enough, good things about the lake hotel! From the minute, you walk in the front desk… Catherine greeted us with a smile and was helpful every step of the way. Our room was spectacular… I would highly recommend the Lakeview room… Request the upper floor floors, we had 338. It was amazing! Daria gave us helpful tips on driving the ring of Kerry and also to dingle We had dinner both nights in the pub. The staff was pleasant and helpful… Alex, the bartender was particularly entertaining, and we enjoyed his company. The food in the pub was spectacular… I don’t know how it could’ve been any better in the restaurant. But I would highly recommend just popping into the pub and try some of the appetizers. We were able to walk the property… Until the rain started… And enjoyed watching dear wander in the mornings I would recommend spending at least two nights at this location just so you can absorb everything. The property has to offer. Truly a beautiful location the rooms were appointed with everything we needed… Great linens, a lovely shower and extra pillows! My husband mentioned to the concierge that it was my birthday, and Catherine had goodies delivered to our room while we were at dinner, such a beautiful touch! 10 stars !!!!
