Arbutus Hotel

Amazing Experience

wpaccessin1 — Tue, 07 May 2013 13:21:16 +0000

I stepped in the front door of the Arbutus Hotel and I felt like I was stepping into another world – a world of wonder.. It immediately felt right and I knew that my sister and I had made the right choice for our weekend away… We were greeted in a way (by Michelle) that made us feel like we were the most important people in the world and that standard never dropped for one minute throughout our stay. We loved the room, and the beautiful old world feel of the hotel, with the most unique and tasty pieces of antique furniture throughout. The breakfast was something special – kept us going all day! Every mouthful was just top class, especially those little scones! Then when you stepped outside, you were right in the middle of the buzz and joy that is Killarney Town… All the staff were wonderful – kind, helpful and warm. I am going back again in May with some friends and really look forward to it! I would recommend the Arbutus to anyone who takes their weekends away very seriously! Mary TT, 5 May 2013

We would say everything was excellent good friendly
staff from reception to housekeeping. We like the old world charm and feel of the hotel. Just keep up the modernizing but not to much ok. Pat and Gaye, 11th March 2013

Just returned from a two night stay in the Arbutus Hotel with my mother. We really enjoyed our stay. All of the staff we met were so helpful and friendly especially the two ladies in reception when we first arrived. Breakfast was great, with lots of choice and cooked fresh there and then and breakfast staff were great really friendly and helpful also.The bar was also great definitely worth a visit. The hotel itself is lovely and very well maintained, and we were very happy with our twin room it was ideal, and in a great location and great value for money .An added bonus is their free car park just up the street.I would have no hesitation in recommending the Arbutus to anyone visiting Killarney. I’m looking forward to returning again soon. Sharon, 28 June 2012

What a wonderful hotel

My partner and I stayed at the Arbutus late June into Early July 2011. We could not have been happier with the quality and service provided at the arbutus by it’s staff and owners. The rooms are fastidiously maintained and exceptionally clean and the breakfasts and meals are first class. It is within walking distance to most attractions and has it’s own parking. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fine hotel and all it has to offer.

A first rate birthday experience

wpaccessin1 — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:10:21 +0000

Happiness exudes from all those that look after you at this peaceful hotel! It began with a very prompt email response from Michelle, when I enquired about parking. We were immediately treated to coffee, scones and ginger bread in the lounge on our arrival, as we had driven from Kerry Airport at a very early hour (Due to a certain air carrier’s interesting timetable out of London!).

Our room was made available by 11am and was a wonder to behold, as if from an earlier time. A king size double bed filled one half of the suite, and through an arch we were amazed to find a chaise lounge, two arm chairs with table and also a writing table and chair. All this beautiful antique furniture was finished in an opulent golden fabric to compliment the ruby red carpet. The large bathroom contained a walk-in shower cubical in addition to the bath – all this was most unexpected for the modest price for bed and breakfast – four nights to celebrate my wife’s birthday.
I would like to compliment Betty for her kind attention at breakfast each morning as she greeted us from room 229 and presented us with a wonderful range of food in the restaurant – the antidote to the previous evening’s Guinness!
We were recommended to visit the Arbutus Hotel by our son, who is well traveled on business and we were not disappointed – nor will you be, to be sure.

Great place to spend time in Ireland

wpaccessin1 — Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:08:04 +0000

We spent three nights at the Arbutus as part of a family trip to Ireland. The hotel is a family-owned property located in the very convenient center of Killarney Town within walking distance to the train and bus stations.

The rooms are clean and spacious. We had a lovely family room with a double bed and two single beds in a separate alcove.

The staff are superb. They provided us with lots of information on activities in Killarney and also were very responsive to special requests such as finding a place on their property to store a bike overnight.

The included breakfast was delicious. It consisted of a continental buffet with freshly baked scones and gingerbread and an extensive cooked to order menu. We were even able to get an early breakfast on our last day so we could catch an early train.

We would highly recommend the Arbutus.
