Nice hotel
Location, food, lounge spaces and staff were all good. However, the bedroom thermostat isn't linked to aircon. Room became hot overnight even though we turned down the temp. and opening the windows didn't work. The noise from the corridor and other bedrooms was bad too.

A slice of heaven
The Lake hotel was better in person than what is seen online (and the photos are wonderful online!). The moment you walk the attention you are given is amazing! A taxi or cab to the center of town, but so worth it. My son hiked around the lake and then we finished up with scones and tea delivered to the room and that is a must have!!!!! The best scones ever! Dinner, bar, room, all amazing. Waking up to the view of the lake and having coffee on the balcony was exactly what I needed. I can not wait to come back again!

Scenery and Service Above and Beyond
The Lake Hotel is a welcoming accomadation with stunning views. The staff find small and large ways to meet your needs and exceed yoyr exoectations. They upgraded our rooms to a lake view, provided great music in the evening, and offered extra bottles of water as we headed out to explore. Sitting in my room and common areas watching the view change was one of my favorite parts of the stay. The sing along in the lounger my last evening there was a community experience. The breakfast was in the lovely dining room and had a vast dejection of choices. Tye dining staff was attentive. The Devil’s Punchbowl Bar gave great service. For those traveling to Killarney National Park, this is a wonderful home base.

This was one of my favourite hotels that we stayed in! The location is an absolute dream, the building has so much history to it and stays true to its character while being immaculately clean, the food is amazing, they had live music in the bar, and the staff was so very nice and helpful! Stay here if you get the chance :)

6/10 Good

Must get a lake view to make your experience.
The view from our room was spectacular. Absolutely the best thing about the hotel. A king size bed would be nice rather than a double and twin in the room. Outlets in the bathroom would be nice. The waitress for dinner was clearly new and struggled with service. The breakfast service was not great. We waited 25 minutes before they brought coffee and took our order as we were ordering off the menu and not eating the buffet. I asked for coconut milk and they indicated they make it homemade and brought out a sludge that was thicker than sour cream. The oat milk was normal. The manager and front desk staff were very friendly.

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.
