Amazing trip.

Our stay at the lake view hotel was incrdible. The room was beautiful and super comfy, it included many amenities and was one of the nicest rooms we had ever stayed in. The breakfast was lovely, it was buffet style and had lots of options including full irish and continental. We had a meal in the restaurant which was also incredible. The staff were lovely and friendly and very helpful in supporting our trip.

Ireland’s Gem of Hospitality

My wife and I have stayed in hundreds of lovely hotels all around the world…nothing compares to The Lake Hotel. Absolutely the magnificent nearly hundred year old center piece in Killarney…that’s actually an understatement. The Lake Hotel is clearly innovating the next era of legendary Irish hospitality, working to ensure that guests get the full experience offered by the hotel while empowering critical sustainability simultaneously.

What an incredibly beautiful location! Our room looked out on to Killarney Lake and the surrounding mountains. One evening we enjoyed watching a family of deer out our patio door. It was so peaceful! The food, bars and restaurants were fabulous as well! I’d definitely stay again!

10/10 Exceptional

Nice hotel!

Had a very nice stay here. Rooms were nice and spacious - they gave us the family rooms since we were traveling with kids, which was nice to have a little extra space. The location is great. Nice it's right on the lake - kids enjoyed wading in the water. Had dinner at the restaurant there - lots of options. Nice our reservation included drinks which was a fun relaxing night out. Live music was fun too.
Richard, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Thus was a nice and relaxing stay. Its location to sightseeing was the best. The staff is so friendly and you can do a whole bag of laundry for 25 euro.
Linda, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
