Superior service! Excellent friendliness! Fabulous food for dinner and breakfast! Spacious and clean rooms. Extremely comfortable bed! Captivating stories throughout the hotel detailing the century of life in this dreamy location by the lake. Love the care of four generations in loving this place and serving visitors. Highly recommend!

This property was gorgeous and the hotel is old fashioned in just the right way. Enormous room, great bed, great meal in the bistro (a vegetarian dal that was surprisingly fabulous) and a lovely staff member who helped us plan a hike in the park and gave us loads of great ideas.

The Lake Hotel - Killarney

We had an absolutely amazing and wonderful stay at the Lake Hotel and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for great accommodations in Killarney! We booked our stay late as we changed our travel details very last minute and didn’t have much time and didn’t know what to expect. The check in was very smooth and staff was ever so friendly. Our room was beyond our expectations with a view overlooking the lake. We had dinner and drinks in the bistro and again, did not disappoint! Food and staff were top notch! The next morning we had breakfast in the main restaurant and was given a choice of either buffet or a la carte. Again, beautiful setting with exceptional attentive staff! All in all, I would recommend this hotel to anyone, who wants to stay outside a town but still close and with easy access to hiking and walking trails.

Beautiful setting on the lake . Walkable to Killarney national Park/ muckross House and Gardens which were outstanding . Delirious food on the premises . But.. be aware they do not have air conditioning ( perhaps the top deluxe rooms only ?) . Their wood view room looked into the parking lot ( get a lake view if able ) and be aware you need to reserve in advance to use any of the spa area /pool. It would have been helpful to receive an email / text from the hotel but there wasn’t any communication of that sort provided . Small item but .. their rooms do not have usb ports for phone charging like all the rest of the places we stayed ( nice to have your converter used for other items ) .

The Lake hotel exceeded our expectations. The staff is super welcoming and the free breakfast buffet was shockingly good. We thought it would just be a few small things like cereals, and toast but they had so much selection as well as plenty of options that are gluten free for my wife to enjoy

Enjoyed our stay at this charming hotel

Whilst you could say the hotel could do with an update, this would detract from it’s wonderful charm and the feeling you get of enjoying a stay that you can imagine was similar to that enjoyed by the gentry of yesteryear. Reception staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and benefited from a stunning lake view.

This was our favourite stop of our honeymoon around Ireland. The property is breathtaking, the food is delicious with lots of options, and the staff there is top notch. Shout out to Megan at the front desk, she was fantastic and incredibly helpful and friendly. We will certainly recommend this hotel to everyone we know and plan to come back again! Cheers

We were very shocked and disappointed that they swapped our booked lake view room to a no visitor ew ordinary room and charged us the same price for the lake view room. After so many hours driving we thoroughly got we came to a zen resting place. After Expedia’s partial help they “upgrade” us to a large parking lot view room and eventually next night to a “lake view” in the far far end. Can’t say how stressed we were. Sad
