Probably the finest hotel and setting we stayed in during our recent vacation in the Republic of…read moreIreland. The staff is amazing - everyone is nothing but pleasant and helpful. The rooms are fantastic, many with views of the lake that you can get lost in. The food is terrific, and the bartenders are awesome. They even have a drop off laundry service - one large-ish bag of clothes washed, dried and folded for 28 Euro - so helpful when you pack for two weeks in a carry-on! I can't say enough wonderful things about this hotel. If you are staying in Killarney area, this is close to Ross Castle, Muckross House, the Abbey, and is actually on the "Ring of Kerry" drive path. Easy day trip to Dingle from here as well! Stay at the Lake Hotel, on the lake, and you won't regret it.

My husband and I booked this hotel because it was convenient and supposed to have free parking…read more Very tricky trying to get into the car park but it was full and we had to drive around the city looking for alternative parking. Our room looked out onto the car park which was also used for storing crates etc so not a very nice view. The bathroom had plain glass on the window with just a piece of net curtain so due to lack of privacy, we were unable to use the facilities. When we decided to make some tea, the inside of the kettle looked like a dirty toilet bowl and I was tempted to chuck it out through the window. After abandoning the idea of having tea in our room we went down to the bar for a drink but it was too cold to sit there so we went out for a meal. The good thing was that there were lots of restaurants to choose from and all within walking distance of the hotel. Not liking a lot of bedclothes on the bed, I removed the throw only to find a big hair stuck to the blanket. The blankets are obviously not cleaned after each guest so I had to make sure to wrap the sheet around me so that I wouldn't touch off the blanket. After inserting my ear plugs, I settled down for a good night's sleep. But it wasn't to be. I constantly thumped my husband all through the night and told him to stop snoring. I was amazed when he got out of bed and I could still hear the snoring so I took out the ear plugs and discovered that the noise was coming from the room next to us. There was a hole in the wall where pipes had been installed and it hadn't been filled in properly so every sound from next door sounded like it came from our room. Whoever was doing the snoring definitely needs attention because in all my years I have never heard anything like it. There was a good breakfast menu with a fair selection of cereals, juices, yogurts etc. The service was so good that I hadn't finished eating my cereals when the waitress placed our fry on the table. There was a big helping of bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and black and white pudding. However, the dining room was so cold that by the time I finished eating my cereals, the fry had gone too cold to eat it. Will I be going back again? No, definitely not and I will not be recommending it to my friends or family.

During our week long adventure around Ireland, we stopped in Killarney and stayed at Scotts Hotel…read morefor two of our nights. Our full experience from the hotel, to the restaurant to the pub was just okay. The hotel has a great location, directly on the main street in Killarney's city center, so location and access to shops, pubs and eateries was top notch. Location was probably our favorite thing about this hotel. While the hotel touts being luxury, it missed the mark for us as we would not describe any of our experience, the outlets and certainly not the rooms as "luxury". The rooms had fairly updated furnishings and a nice bathroom. We were in a room that featured a queen/full and a twin. There was alternative seating and a table, which is always nice and beats having to sit on the bed the entire time in the rooms. I appreciated the functional windows as well. Odd how many hotels do not have AC or windows that can open. The lobby and interior restaurant and bar were quite dated and did not match the overall vibe the rooms and Scotts bar created. Felt very disjointed in overall vibe and decor from public spaces to rooms. Speaking of the interior restaurant and bar, this was our least favorite meal and dining experience while in Killarney. We did breakfast and dinner, both of which were not that great. Food quality and service was lack luster for us. On the flipside, Scotts Bar was pretty solid for a pint and cocktail each night. We always made our way to the bar upon our return to the hotel each night, enjoyed each time we bellied up to the bar. Service at the front desk was also a bit disappointing. Arrival was okay, departure was quick and uneventful, but anytime we needed assistance outside of arrival/departure, it seemed like we were a bother. Situation with getting our of the garage with the provided ticket proved to be more of a hassle than need be. Instead of being assisted, the Front Desk Agent seemed accusatory and dismissive to our claim that the ticket provided was not working. Overall, we enjoyed the location, room and Scotts Bar, everything else was "meh". Biggest win for Scotts Hotel is definitely the location, which in itself makes for a good time when in Killarney. Hopeful they can address the service concerns and give the interior spaces a refresh, as those would both be definite wins.

I wish I could eat their breakfast sausage every day of my life - I still think about it. Our room was a great size and very clean. The location was also wonderful. It was walkable to town center and local restaurants, but far enough away to be clear of the "hustle and bustle." Having a parking lot for our rental car was also appreciated!

Coming from Los Angeles on a tour around Ireland landed us here in Killarney at the Avenue hotel…read more What a gorgeous place to stay. The weather is definitely cold so bring a jacket as the temperate can dip. The hotel itself has this rustic vibe to it which we really enjoy. It's a good mixture of old and new as the picture of the staircase with carpet has the old school feeling I enjoy. Keep in mind when you walk into your room the lights won't work unless you insert your room key into the slot provided by the door. After which the lights will work. The hotel restaurant is very good, I enjoyed my lamb plate and my wife enjoyed her pizza as well. Moderately priced food nothing over the top and I can recommend the lamb for sure. The people here are extremely nice and friendly so ask them any question and they'll be happy to answer. Enjoy your stay.

She was amazing, so proffesional and helpful! We were worried that we would have no place to stay. That did not happen. All the staff were great. The bed was pretty comfy and I did not love the pillows. The hotel looks like it could use some TLC and some updating. Our room smelled a bit musty and my allergies were in high gear from that. The light fixture was hanging out of the ceiling rather than it being placed inside the socket for the fixtures in the ceiling. Seems liek anx3asy enough fix to take care of. It was pretty loud there where you could hear everything inclusong people talking in the hallway or walking up the stairs. There is an elevator. They warned us there was an 80's dance night happening and it would be loud. It was quite loud. They provided ear plugs but they did not help much. We did get some sleep. The room cost about $220 which I thought was expensive for the room quality. The breakfast buffet was good and the food was yummy. It was in an excellent location. Walking distance from the bus and train stations. So close to town and all the great shops. It is right across the street from the botanical gardens. We lost our EU adapters during our travels some how for our phones. They loaned us some so we could charge our phones. I love that they had a box of them to loan out. No fridge in the room. In fact most of the hotels in Ireland do not offer that. The room had a tea kettle with tea and a chocolate bar. We would stay here again but may be more specific about the room we choose if we could do that and check to see if they are having music and dancing.

The decor is soooo Irish-British ... think lots of florals, wallpaper, and patterned carpets. The building itself is super cool ... you'll never see anything like this in America. There is an elevator (or lift) but you still may have to walk up a few extra stairs. It's like a labyrinth with two rooms here, four there, steps up or down and hallways going here and there. Super cute. Our room was surprisingly large. Everything was clean. The bed was super comfortable. I slept great. In-room coffee, not good. Breakfast was included in our stay. There were plenty of options as well as a buffet table set up with cheeses, meats, pastries, fruit and the sort. However, my husband's omelette was not so great (greasy). My breakfasts were both fantastic. And the coffee in the restaurant was good, phew!
