Great location in Killarney center. Friendly staff. Really really good breakfast with fresh fruit and excellent croissants. Had a nice dinner at the connected pub. Parking is in a lot a block away; not ideal but manageable. Only quibble is that it’s been a warm summer and the room had no AC and a quilted duvet on the bed.

Hi Eileen. Thank you for your review. Thank you for the positive feedback about breakfast.We were very lucky with the weather this summer in Ireland and yes July was very hot, while we don't have AC all rooms have fans and a second one on request would be provided.

Great Stay at the McSweeney Arms Hotel
I stayed at the McSweeney Arms Hotel while passing through Killarney, in August 2019. This is a family-run local hotel and I felt welcomed from the time I walked into the front door, by the owner and received personalized service throughout my stay. The rates were reasonable and the rooms were large, updated and very clean. The hotel is in the center of town and easily accessible to all attractions. The bar attached to the hotel serves great food and has a cozy, "Irish Pub," feel to it. I would stay here again and would highly recommend it to travelers.

Room was incredibly noisy, not only because of the traffic but also due to paper thin walls. I heard my room neighbors' TV until late night. I asked at the reception to change my room but they said they couldn't do anything about it. The sheet was dirty too but they changed it at once. It was really nice of the staff to reimburse me by letting me have a free breakfast. Much appreciated.

Picked another excellent property!
We were very happy with the stay and the location. The bar was clean and the people in the bar were very friendly. The location of the hotel was on the edge of the excitement so it offered as much quietness as you can get in the city. Only negative was that the technology and internet connectivity was poor. We will be back.
