Booked this hotel for a trip in September 2024. Had to reschedule for October as I broke my ankle and was unable to travel. October rolled around and we had to cancel again as we got hit by a hurricane. Damage to our home and we were unable to travel at that time. Rescheduled the trip for May 2025. The Fairview would NOT refund us for the October trip; they stated I never cancelled. I did cancel. I asked if we could have a credit and rebook for May; they never replied to my 2 emails OR my online request thru their website. So much for customer service. Had to eat the entire cost - 2 nites and 2 rooms. Beyond disappointed that they wouldn't even work with me. read more

We almost took Killarney off our itinerary last minute, but I'm so happy we didn't. Our stay at the Fairview Guest House was amazing. The owners and staff went above and beyond to ensure we had an unforgettable stay. Our upgraded room had an in suite jacuzzi. I could sit and take in the balcony view of the town for hours. We did find our way across the street to Murphy's Pub for a taste of the elusive Middleton whiskey. The service was stellar, the crowd upbeat and the live band made the night complete. read more

We stayed at Killarney for two nights at this hotel. When we arrived, we were told that there was an upgrade available from a standard room to a larger superior room for 40 Euros for our two nights. We took it and I'm glad I did as it faced the back and I'd be worried about street noise. The room was quite large with a king size bed, a couch area and a desk. The bathroom was spacious. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens and pillows. The service was good - albeit I found it a little stuffy for Ireland. The temperature of the room was comfortable - make sure to open window to cool it down. The location is fantastic and one of the best perks! It is located in the heart of downtown and walking distance to anything in town. The hotel said it had free overnight parking. This is not as clear as you might think. They don't have a parking lot on site but reimburse you for parking at a car lot which is about 50 meters from the hotel (tip: it is the one where one side has all the buses and other side cars). We weren't sure if we had the right one and had spent about 10-15 minutes driving in circles. Their instructions or a map would be helpful before our arrival. As an after note, I am not sure if we were reimbursed. A little pet peeve especially when the room wasn't cheap. Overall, it was a nice stay. I personally don't think it is worth the total of $280 USD a night without breakfast. We admittedly stayed here because we could book it with points and without that would go the B&B route. read more

This was a very last minute stay. My husband and I drove the Ring of Kerry during the day and then stopped for dinner in Killarney on our way back to our cottage. By the time we finished dinner we decided not to drive 2 hours back to our lodging on the crazy tiny roads so we booked this place. Paul, the front desk attendant was super friendly and accommodating. The stay came with a delicious breakfast! The wait staff were extremely attentive. I 100% recommended this cute place. It is in the heart of the touristy shopping area too! read more

We arrived in Ireland early in the morning and had a long drive from Shannon Airport to the The Fairview. When we arrived the man at the desk said he couldn't check us in until 3 pm. Ugh. I guess I'm spoiled but I usually can check in and give my number to get a text when the room is ready. We had 6 1/2 hours to wait to check in. We had already clocked a 12 hour commute so we were tired. Shame on my travel agent for not suggesting we secure a room for the night before so we could have rested upon arrival. I decided to check back at noon to which the gentleman knew we were exhausted and worked hard to get us into our rooms within the next hour or two. Our rooms were lovely. They were clean and quiet. There is no bellmen which drives me nuts, but we managed to get our luggage to our rooms without too much drama. The hotel is located in the best location in Killarney and we were able to walk everywhere. There was plenty of live music and shopping right out the front door of the hotel. I would recommend this hotel sans the antiquated check-in. I don't understand why hotels don't let you check in and text when your room is ready...just a suggestion. Otherwise, the hotel is centrally located, clean and the staff is friendly. The breakfast, which was included in our package, was mediocre at best. Continental breakfast offered was not up to what we expected. The eggs offered were not to our liking which made for three hungry people at the end of our meal. However, the staff was friendly and attentive. read more

We really enjoyed this hotel . It is situated near the heart of Killarney. It is certainly within walking distance of all of the main area. The staff here are very nice. We were quickly greeted and checked in to our room. One negative is the lack of convenient parking. You have to use the public lot down the street. The room was very nice. Certainly one of the more lovely rooms that we stayed in for our trip to Ireland. The room looks to have been updated and has skylights. The restaurant downstairs is great in the morning for breakfast as well. We really enjoyed their cappuccinos! The front staff, who I believe to be the owners of the hotel, were always friendly when we were coming or going. We also felt like the bed was very comfortable and we had good sleep here. We would definitely stay here again if we were back in Killarney! Keep up the great job! read more

I loved my stay here! This was one of the top three places I stayed during my three week visit to Ireland. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The room I had had a beautiful view of Killarney and I was able to open the window and let in fresh air and could hear the nearby church bells in the morning. There is no parking at the hotel, however there is a parking lot just up the street. The lady at the front desk helpfully told me that after 6pm there is no fee for parking there, so as long as you're out site seeing parking is essentially free. The location of this hotel is perfect too, within easy walking distance to some delicious restaurants (The Smokehouse was excellent - highly recommend) as well as pubs with great evening live music. I would stay here again. read more

Lovely hotel - we had booked a regular room but they were kind enough to upgrade us for ten euro due to a cancellation. Our only complaint is not any outlet next to Bed for a CPAP machine. read more

Cute hotel.Good location in city center. Lots of character and clean. Breakfast was tasty but slow. Gave 3 stars due to our hot room - no air conditioning. No water in room like many hotels. Poor view overlooking the Shire's back area that was untidy. Also unable to give change at front desk. read more

We booked a night at the Fairview Hotel thru Hotels.com and apparently they oversold they rooms. When we went to check in, the manager was more than accommodating and informed us that we would be in the Guest House. We were pleasantly surprised with our quaint town home. He gave us the master so we had a sleigh bed, jacuzzi tub and great views of the street below. He also included breakfast for us due to Hotel.com's mistake. The hotel was very clean and even though there wasn't anything on the breakfast menu for vegan food, they were more than happy to accommodate us by marketing a plate of veggies with toast. Great location in town and just minutes from High Street read more

Small town boutique hotel. Very nice atmosphere, clean rooms, great breakfast. Les the gentleman who runs the breakfast service is attentive and friendly. My only complaint is that at 6:30 in the morning either the room next to mine or above mine that person was getting ready, as they have the right to do, but it sounded as if they were in our bathroom. Walls are very thin and it's bad for sleeping. We are a party of 10 and everyone said the the same thing. We would recommend staying here and would return. The town just around the corner is quaint with local shops. Revision 8 hours later come back from a day out and shower.... water will not drain from the tub.... ankle deep water which is not draining at all. Still.4 stars though. read more

Amazingly personal service, superb location and quiet, comfortable rooms. What a find!!

Stayed at Copper Kettle and had breakfast here (sister establishments)...small dining room and a little bit of a wait but once we got in, service was great. The food was ok, typical Irish breakfast. read more

Alright I traveled here for a family vacation. The staff at the front is attentive and nice. The man in the food area is named les and is a beast!!!! Meaning excellent. He wears a tux everyday and is very attentive. He also has a way about him in a proper way that shows he cares. His right hand girl also is sweet and was pregnant but still working hard too. The rooms all boast hard wood floors are were nice. They are quaint and have room just a tad bigger than normal European rooms would have. We did have a issue with the water in our tub not draining properly but they took care of it by the time we got back. All in all it would have gotten 5 stars if it wasn't for the also the noise level between the walls is strong. It will feel like someone is almost in your room at some points because of how thin they are. read more

Very lovely hotel with a most friendly Anne Marie at the front desk who was eager to help in every way. She gave us excellent restaurant recommendations. The rooms were quite lovely and the beds very comfortable. Internet access was slow, but that was the case in a number of hotels we stayed at in Ireland. Breakfast was delicious, though the dining room is fairly small. Conveniently located in the center of Killarney. We would return again gladly. read more

We loved this hotel. Very comfortable beds and spacious rooms compared to others we stayed in in Europe. It is centrally located in Killarney and you can walk everywhere. We had a corner room so did not have an issue with noise as other have mentioned, but then again, we have 2 kids so maybe we were the noise! :) We would definitely go back. Breakfast was delicious and they definitely display the classic Irish hospitality! read more

Clean spacious room at a reasonable price. The beds were comfortable, baths large, lobby well appointed, staff attentive and breakfast tasty. I'd return again. read more
