It's an old property but very well kept and above all, the staff is great. Asking for an internal room could solve the outside noise issue though the internal sound proofing is not great so have some earplugs if you are a light sleeper. On Saturday evenings and Sundays all day, the public car park is free of charge. Overall great value for money and would stay here again.

Classic hotel with kind staff in the perfect location. Short walk to/from the train station. Surrounded by pubs, restaurants, and shopping, with a taxi rank down the street if you need to go farther. As a bonus, it even has a pub (Buckley's) attached. Offering hearty food, live music, and a cozy fire. Absolutely loved staying here.

Great welcome at reception. We were a bit early but they got us our room quickly and in the meantime brought us some coffee and scones. Awesome service. Room was big and most comfortable bed we’ve had on this trip! A very nice place to stay.

What a wonderful, charming property right in the middle of town. It could not have been more convenient to everywhere we wanted to go -- shopping, pubs, restaurants, and the Christmas parade came right past the front door! And the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Just wonderful. The Buckley's bar attached was our staple for drinks and cozy fireside dinners, and the hot breakfast to order was an unexpected treat. This will absolutely be the first choice on the next visit!

Killarney - fun town & lovely hotel
Hotel Arbutus is a historical hotel that has old time keys but wonderful amenities in your room. The rooms are clean and updated with very comfortable beds. We occupied 2 rooms and both of us couples enjoyed our stay here in this wonderful city!

On any other day this would be a great location, but with the carnaval in the back yard they really should have warned or accommodate foe those who aren’t there to be up all night listening to people scream until 11 am. The girl at the front desk seems to think that it’s a normal hour to go to sleep. As well as when I asked her to double check if the room was on the quieter side, she confirmed so but it was facing directly the carnaval.

Excellent service
The service during our stay was faultless, very welcoming and friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Helpful with our baggage and any questions we had. Breakfast wasn't quite to the standard we hoped but it was plentiful. Coffee/tea was served promptly and toasts and butter topped up without us having to ask. Lovely homemade scones too. Room was very spacious with a lovely bright bathroom. Some noisy footsteps early in the morning above us but to be fair it is an older building so it can't be helped. Room faced the street but with windows closed and curtains drawn it was pretty quiet. If you want a classic, comfortable old-school hotel with good old-fashioned manners, I would recommend a stay here. Very centrally located.

Great hotel with friendly staff
Lovely hotel , great location, very friendly helpful staff . Pretty surroundings with loads of antique furniture and interesting paintings . 2 comfortable lounges and a bar connected to the hotel which was ideal . Restaurant food was very nice and also plentiful and an extremely reasonable cost . Breakfast was great with lovely bacon & sausages . Bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds and good quality linen. Only thing is bottled water should be included.. will definitely stay at the Arbutus again & reccomend to friends and family.
