Wonderful!
Pros:

We had a lovely time at The Victoria. The rooms were comfortable, although somewhat small. We were in the front room overlooking the main road so there was some traffic noise but that was outweighed by the incredible views.

The staff was excellent-friendly, helpful and efficient.

The breakfast was really good, and they had several gluten free items to choose from.

My husband enjoyed sitting at the bar relaxing. Dinner was excellent! Noel was a wonderful waiter, and helped make our fun night.

We will definitely stay here again.

Perfect stay!
Pros:

We can't say enough good things about The Victoria Hotel in Killarney! First, the entire staff is exceptional. Maura took good care of us from the moment we stepped in the door. Within just a few minutes we had our key, dinner reservations in the hotel restaurant (which turned out to be excellent), and reservations for breakfast. To top it off, Maura suggested we take advantage of an opportunity to see the Celtic Steps performance that evening at the venue right next door, the last night they'd be performing there. She got us tickets, we thoroughly enjoyed the performance, and we had a seat right on the first row! (We recommend checking out the show if you're in Killarney.) The hotel is lovely inside, with charming but sophisticated decor in rich jewel tones. Our room was spacious; the bathroom, also spacious, featured not only plenty of thick towels, but also washcloths--an unexpected bonus in a European hotel! The bed was big and comfortable and the pillows were wonderful. While the hotel doesn't have air conditioning, that was never a problem for us. Our room had a fan and windows that opened, and was always comfortable even in the "heatwave" Ireland was experiencing. Finally, the hotel's Michelin-starred restaurant was so good we ate there three evenings in a row. We also enjoyed their impeccable table service breakfast each morning. We highly recommend The Victoria and would definitely stay there again if we were lucky enough to have the opportunity.

The perfect stay✨
Pros:

A perfect stay😌✨
From the minute you step on the grounds of the hotel, you are welcomed and made feel at home :)
Myself and my husband booked for a mini-honeymoon stay after our wedding Monday and we we're lucky enough to receive an upgrade to the Arbutus Suite, which was delightful. A huge spacious cloud like bed, roomy bathroom with seperate shower and jacuzzi bath along with a large mirror, the room comes with a changing room area as well as a small refrigerator and seating/dining area. There are 2 things that made our stay so incredible, the people and the food. Reception staff like Michelle + Maurq were so helpful and kind, asking how our day was, making recommendations for outings and complimenting my style, which I appreciated so much as someone trying to find their style again throughout cancer treatment. We were also quite lucky to meet Sinead from the second we stepped out of our taxi, she was there to greet us, help us with bags and assist us to reception to check in. It's refreshing to see such a hands on owner working away around the hotel throughout all times of the day. They boast a fantastic Michelin star restaurant with such incredible food and drink options, I cannot stress enough how delicious the food is, both at breakfast and dinner time! The Victoria is located within walking distance of the town and train station aswell as not too far from the National Park. Overall an incredible stay, so much so, we had booked to stay Thurs-Sat but decided to add an extra night as we loved it so much. We loved the peace n quiet, the food and most importantly, the people, they are what make the stay a 10/10 for us. Highly recommend, we'll definitely be return customers in future! ✨

10/10 stay
Pros:

This hotel is beyond exceptional , From the moment you arrive onto the property you are greeted by nothing but amazing service, from the reception staff Michelle and Maura being so helpful, having conversations about our trip with one of the owners Sinead and the out of this world bar and restaurant staff providing on the ball service and food that is on another level all together. What makes this hotel so special is the personal level that the staff get to know you no matter how short your stay is. You are greeted by name as you traverse the hotel and upon leaving and entering being asked about your day. Something you do not get at larger hotels anywhere! Rooms are on par with everything else above. I have been coming to Killarney for 20 years from a child until this stay on my honeymoon. I had not stayed in the Victoria hotel before and on all future visits this will be the only hotel I will ever book. I hope this review paints a picture of how high of an opinion I hold this hotel and the people that make it special. Easily the best hotel my wife and I have ever had the pleasure to stay in.
