The Lake Hotel in Killarney is just doing everything right. They even keep a quiet area in the dining room for couples traveling own their own away from large tour groups which we really appreciated. Joel at the bar is a delight. The front desk staff was exceptional, booking a private driver for us on short notice and helping me to most efficiently get our laundry done. We will recommend The Lake Hotel without reservation.

Amazing hotel located in a spectacular area. The city of Killarney is a true gem . We had a room facing the bay and the castle ruins . The breakfast is very good and the bar area has evening music (changes daily). The staff was very accommodating getting us reservations for Gap of Dunloe tour - unlike other websites the hotel offers a direct shuttle to and from the start/wnd of the tour. We spent one day walking (13 miles) around the Muckross Lake and were surprised by the microclimates and great variety of plants here . The city itself is very pleasant and a good spot for shopping.

This property was the best place we stayed in during our two week Ireland stay. The views are amazing. It is a great spot to visit the Ring of Kerry. The area also had many sights close by to visit. Breakfast was awesome and the two onsite restaurants had great dining. The bartenders were also great with friendly conversation and great drinks. Awesome hotel.

I cannot say enough about how wonderful the staff is. Extremely helpful and polite and courteous. Breakfast was impeccable. The dining options were very good and the food was always top notch. Just beautiful grounds. Walking distance to Mucross Abbey which is a nice extra.

We had a fantastic stay at The Lake Hotel. We will make this our home base for our annual trips to Killarney in the future. The room was excellent in every way: clean, spacious, with a great view, and convenient to the restaurant, bar and lobby area. The staff were professional, and the food at breakfast and in the bar was terrific. We loved our stay.
