Enjoyed our stay.

Liked: Location central. Quiet
Disliked: I felt it was a bit overpriced for the lack of room deluxe feature you would expect for that price. Eg. Complementary drinking Water in the room , biscuits to go with coffee/tea, and facecloths. Towels were thin. Furniture layout in the room was not really user friendly. No place for our case in a large room was odd.

Liked: We really enjoyed the Arbutus hotel, with its lovely lobby and connected pub.
Disliked: We had two rooms. My adults sons had the double queen, which was much more spacious and I wished my husband and I had that room instead of our less-inviting king room.

Killarney..a beautiful town!

Liked: The hotel is beautiful! Spacious, inviting and great staff!We were greeted warmly at check in by Ina, who was also very helpful giving us info about getting around in Killarney. Also, James, another member of the staff was very helpful. Our room was spacious and had everything we needed There were 3 of us ladies. We each had a bed. Bathroom was spacious too. The breakfast downstairs was lovely and delicious. The Buckley bar attached is very nice. Enjoyed the Irish music while we ate and had drinks. Very good location--near train and bus stations.
Disliked: Cannot think of a thing I didn't like.
