Honestly one of the most remarkable hotels I've ever been to. The backdrop of the lake is just stunning, and combined with the old-fashioned aesthetic you really feel like you arwle transported to a different time. Staff was friendly. There was live entertainment in the evenings and two different restaurants on-site. Parking was plentiful. The rooms and the bathrooms were also comfortable and nicely decorated. I don't have a single bad thing to say!

As usual the hotel and its staff were amazing. We ate in the bar and the food and drink was great. Staff were so friendly and the hotel and its setting was so comfortable. We have been staying at this hotel for years now and we always enjoy going back for a quick break when ever we can.

We very much enjoyed our stay here. And the castle behind the hotel was a nice adventure after breakfasts

Great location, service. Classic place with great spaces to relax and enjoy the view. Front desk very hospitable!

Such a beautiful view of the Lake. Nice size rooms with balcony. We enjoyed our peaceful time there

Excellent breakfast. Comfortable beds. This hotel is very clean although dated and not as luxurious as photos would suggest.

Beautiful hotel and property on the national park, lovely to sit and enjoy the grounds or walk/rent a bike (outside hotel). They made it easy to store the bikes for us since we arrived and rented late. The restaurant was so so, the food average (catering to N. American I believe) and the service in the restaurant (to be fair was busy) was not very good. The live music in the bar at the end of the night was lovely.

The Lake Hotel's staff are simply amazing. The entire hotel feels somewhat magical - there is history all over the interior, and the exterior has such majestic views that it's hard to compare with anywhere else I've been. We had an excellent trip and wish we could have stayed even longer.

everyone was so professional and friendly, patient and kind. the room with the view was excellent

Friendly staff, amazing views.

This past October, my husband and I traveled on our first-ever trip to Ireland to celebrate 30 years of marriage. We had a wonderful trip and can't wait to return. Nearly every place we stayed was very good, but the standout gem of the trip was hands-down The Lake Hotel in Killarney in County Kerry. This charming and magical place was by far our favorite lodging, for so many reasons. The grounds of the property, as you turn into the driveway, are immaculate and they are the first hint you are someplace truly special. The grounds have plenty to enjoy and explore, including scenic views & wildlife. Lough Leane and the castle ruins at the edge of the lake provide some of the most stunning vistas and views of the mountains beyond Lough Leane. Sitting in The Lakeside Bistro bar and restaurant watching rain storms blow in over the lake from the mountains was better than can be described. Really, who needs TV or entertainment when surrounded by such beauty? Every meal, (and every perfectly poured pint of Guinness!) we enjoyed during our stay was excellent and noteworthy. The breakfasts in The Castlelough Restaurant were perfection too, with attentive staff & delicious food. Large clean rooms, great food, wonderful staff. Make sure you spend at least 2-3 days here.

Beautiful property...great food and staff

Couldn’t say enough good things about the property and especially the hotel team. The location, surrounding grounds and views are spectacular. We had hoped for some up close opportunities to photograph the deer - and we did. Our upgraded guest room was fantastic and provided ample space to sleep, relax, enjoy room service dining comfortably and take in the views from our balcony. Both breakfasts and in room dining dinners were excellent with the service staff engaging and polite. The hotel bar was well stocked and the team made perfect recommendations for our cocktails. Our sincere gratitude goes out to the welcoming guest service agent for her empathy upon our arrival. We had experienced a tragic incident earlier in the day in Ballybunion and she did a wonderful job to make us feel welcome and cared for. Thank you.

Really nice

Amazing ! We’ve stayed here several times and it never fails to impress ! Already booked our next stay here !

Beautiful property, friendly staff, great breakfast!

Really lovely hotel in an amazing location. Food, atmosphere and room were great, five stars

Hotel is beautiful. No washrags or water in my room, but not a bad stay.

It was absolutely beautiful and the morning breakfast was outstanding! Everyone was so nice and accommodating. Terrific experience I would highly recommend staying there. Fabulous views!

This hotel was absolutely wonderful - a stunning location and exceptionally helpful staff. I will absolutely be coming back here again.

The Lake hotel is perfection. From the service to the food to the rooms. And the view!! Highlight of our 3 week trip. Thanks Elenor and Jerome for the extra attention!

I stayed at The Lake Hotel for 4 nights in September 2023 and had a fantastic stay. The hotel is perfectly located on the coast of glorious Loch Leane with views of the lough and The Reeks that can't be beat. The staff are very friendly and efficient and the property clean and cheerful. My room was quiet, the hot water plentiful and my bed comfortable. The hotel restaurant and bar are topshelf as well. There was no incentive to head to Killarney for meals as the restaurants had a diverse enough menu with each meal I had very well prepared. This was my 4th visit to Killarney and if (when!) I return I hope to stay at The Lake Hotel again. A wonderful spot in a priceless location.

Overall the property was fabulous. We would liked to have been be able to make a reservation at the Bistro.

The view of the lake and small castle ruins from the dining room is spectacular! One can sit in the lounge area, read the paper and enjoy a cup of tea and enjoy the view of the back of the hotel. Although our room faced the front of the hotel, it was nonetheless a large, wonderful room with a large jacuzzi and a separate, fabulous shower area. Breakfast was buffet style, but filled with an assortment of hot foods, breads, and pastries in addition to the dishes which could be ordered from the menu. In short, The Lake Hotel is an experience that simply must be enjoyed on every trip to Ireland.

Beautiful hotel in a picturesque setting. The staff and dining experience were wonderful. I would definitely recommend this property.

Very nice view

Beautiful!

The rooms smelled very musky and were very damp. The bedding even felt wet because of the humidity and there was no dehumidifier and there was no air conditioning. There was also difficulty with plumbing and flushing toilets.

View was incredible. Couldn’t stop watching the lightning change.

Water was coming up through the tiles in bathroom and toilet didn’t flush well. Contacted staff and one guy came and checked it out then we were completely ignored regarding this issue for the rest of our stay

Friendly and informative staff, beautiful grounds and lake views.

Great view lovely staff and great food Double bed is super small almost fell off..room a bit old
