Warm hospitality and cosy stay in the heart of Killarney
Pros:

The Fairview Boutique Hotel was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and at home. The location is excellent, just a short walk from Killarney city center, and the whole hotel has a cosy and charming atmosphere. There is also a complimentary public parking lot available at night within walking distance, which was very convenient.
The entire hotel is beautifully decorated, creating a cosy and charming environment that makes you want to stay longer. Our family room was spacious and comfortable, with a modern bathroom.
The staff were incredibly kind and always happy to help with tips about Killarney and the Ring of Kerry.
Breakfast was marvellous, with freshly baked products and a great variety of sweet and savoury options.

After a week traveling around Ireland, this was definitely the best hotel we stayed in. We would love to come back and highly recommend it.

Very friendly staff, clean and perfect location. Kilarney is beautiful!
Pros:

Close to centre, friendly staff, tasty breakfast, clean and comfortable spacious rooms.

Cons:

Quite noisy at times with doors slamming, maybe because we were based next to reception on the ground floor. This is the only down side, everything else was wonderful.

Superb stay ❤️
Pros:

The Fairview Hotel is in a fantastic location, close to all the restaurants and bars in the town. It’s a quite hotel with a lovely ambiance. We were in a superb family room, exceptionally comfortable, clean and a fabulous spa bath. We got an excellent deal, far ahead of other accommodation in close proximity. The breakfast was freshly cooked, super fresh and hot. Hoping to get back again soon for the exceptional value, enjoyable experience and lovely staff.
