Great staff, clean room, great treatment for honeymoon, good food and drinks on site
The hotel is in a great location, but the best part of it is the staff. From Tony and Kelly Ann the owners to Mary and the bar and breakfast staff they made you feel at home.
Nothing.
delicious
Rooms were a little warm at night with the window closed for noise. But the fan helped.
Die zentrale Lage, der nahe (öffentliche) Parkplatz, das gute Frühstück. Die bequemen Betten.
Es war nachts zeitweise lauter von der Straße her.
Very central to what we wanted,receptionist was great
Very creaky floors,and not just in our room.
Lovely little hotel, perfectly located close to everything. Friendly helpful staff very clean and comfortable, would stay again 🤩

Colazione eccellente, e il team dell'hotel molto gentili e preparati. Ci hanno sempre dato suggerimenti molto utili per qualsiasi richiesta facevamo
Close to city pubs
Too expensive
Good location and very good breakfast
Emplacement exceptionnel, en plein centre ville à 50metres d un.parking à 0.60€/heure et gratuit la nuit. Super petit déjeuner et personnel au top!
Aucun point négatif !
I’ve stayed in 5 hotels over my Ireland trip and this was actually my favorite. I am sad I had only stayed one night. There is a lift which was great. Room was definitely small, but I was solo so it was okay. The bathrooms were nice and clean and plenty stocked. Bed so very comfy. Best part was the view of the main street from my window! The woman at the front desk when I checked in was extremely nice and gave me recommendations.
Everything about our stay was top-notch, especially the service from Laura at the front desk. Her exceptional attention to detail made our entire stay run smoothly. I have rarely experienced such a genuine level of care and attentiveness from a hotel staff member. Laura truly went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well cared for.
Great location and facilities. Food excellent. Staff extremely helpful and friendly
Street very noisy but to be expected when in such a great location for the town
La amabilidad del personal. El desayuno muy bueno.
Great breakfast and lovely staff
The room was very dark and very warm. There was a fan provided in the room but the kitchen extraction fan was outside our window which went off early in the morning, you couldn't open the window because of the noise. We only stayed one night, but I would not like the room if we were staying there for longer.
Great breakfast, definitely worth the cost. Very friendly staff. Great location, walking distance to many great restaurants and shops.
The shower was on the small size, but the water flow was wonderful.
Personnel vraiment à l’écoute et très efficace, emplacement excellent (plein centre ville) avec parking très économique à deux pas, petit déjeuner très bon
La chambre faisait un peu vieillot (isolation pas top)
The breakfast was very good and the location was central.
Góð þjónusta!
Vantar algjörlega loftræstingu/aircondition og fjarlægja teppi.
Absolument tout !
Rien
Idéalement situé en plein centre. Petit déjeuner copieux
Beaucoup trop cher pour les prestation offertes. Chambre un peu vieillotte (fenêtre, salle de bain). Pas de prise près du lit. Lit 2 places contre le mur (pas pratique si on est 2). Petit déjeuner servi à table. Pas vraiment de buffet.
The staff was very helpful. They assisted us with suggestions for things to see and places to eat. This helped make our stay memorable. We would recommend this hotel to our friends and family.
Location was very central, staff were helpful and friendly, reasonably priced, clean and well presented modern rooms
The staff were really helpful and friendly. They were always available if you needed anything. The lady who looked after us at breakfast was so helpful and the breakfast was amazing. Great choice and plenty of everything for breakfast. The night porter was really friendly. The room was comfortable and the location was great. The cleaning staff were also very good and cleaned the room to a very good standard. The towels are so white and fluffy. Great to have for comfort when your on holiday. This hotel is really well run and managed. Keep up the good work, as well as being really professional all the staff provide a pleasant and comfortable service for people staying in the hotel. Thank you for a pleasant and comfortable holiday. Deborah and John Moore
L'emplacement est idéal, les chambres sont très bien équipées, la literie est confortable. Le personnel est accueillant.
Un peu cher mais comme tous les hôtels de la ville.
Location. Staff was super nice and accommodating. Highly recommend this place.
I needed a room for a wedding.Lovely little Hotel in centre of killarney. Staff were super friendly. Breakfast was amazing with full irish but also healthy options like fruit and granola. Price was quite good for Killarney

Ho recentemente soggiornato al McSweeney Arms Hotel e devo dire che è stata un’esperienza fantastica! 😍Camere e Comfort Le camere sono accoglienti e ben arredate. Il letto era così comodo che ho dormito come un bambino! Ogni mattina mi svegliavo riposato e pronto per affrontare la giornata. La pulizia era impeccabile, e si vede che il personale tiene davvero a far sentire gli ospiti a loro agio.Cibo e Servizi Non posso non parlare della colazione: era deliziosa! Hanno una selezione di piatti locali e il caffè è davvero ottimo. È stato un modo perfetto per iniziare la giornata prima di uscire a esplorare.Accoglienza e Servizio Il personale è stato super cordiale e disponibile. Ogni volta che avevo bisogno di un consiglio su cosa fare o dove mangiare, erano sempre pronti ad aiutarmi. Mi hanno fatto sentire come se fossi a casa!Posizione La posizione è un altro punto a favore: è centrale e puoi raggiungere facilmente a piedi molte attrazioni. È stato così comodo non dover prendere trasporti complicati.Conclusione In sintesi, consiglio vivamente il McSweeney Arms Hotel a chiunque voglia trascorrere un soggiorno piacevole e rilassante. Non vedo l'ora di tornarci!
Nulla da segnalare.
Le petit déjeuner et l'accueil du personnel
L'absence de parking et la chaleur (chambre pas adaptée à des étés aussi chaud)
The location is perfect. It was just far enough away from town that it was less crowded and quieter. The hotel staff were helpful, friendly, and went out of their way to make our stay a pleasant one. There is a pub on site and breakfast is available if wanted.
The only issue was cooling down the room during Ireland’s heatwave. We totally understand that this is an anomaly and hotels in Ireland don’t supply air conditioning, because it is usually unneeded. The property provided a fan and advised us to keep our windows open and curtains drawn. Even with this effort, the room was often much warmer than we are accustomed to.
Location
No air conditioning in the rooms, no food being served in the bar when we arrived at 6pm on a Friday
Comfortable bed, fan was on and curtains drawn since it was very hot when I visited. Staff was truly amazing - so friendly and helpful with recommendations. Hope to return!
The room was very clean but shower could use a bit more of a scrubbing.
Great central location with good parking options nearby. Good quality furnishings and comfortable bed all in new condition. Nice well stocked bar. Very helpful reception staff.
Service was good but the male bar staff were not particularly cheerful
Excellent petit déjeuner, personnel très souriant et aidant. Belle situation proche du centre
Peu d'espace de rangement. Cadre un peu vieillot.
For us travelling by train, centre of town location was perfect. Bit noisy during night but to be expected with an on the street location. Nice bar with good lunches No evening meals but so many restaurants nearby The breakfasts were superb. Cooked breakfast prepared while we waited (not long) Probably the best cooked breakfast we have ever had in any hotel. Not just generous quantity and delicious but beautifully presented. Staff very friendly.

Bra läge. Stort rum
Alldeles för varmt. Gick in att få ned temperaturen trots en fläkt.
Excellent location.The staff were consistently engaging,helpful and extremely pleasant.
I couldn’t find any fault with the hotel..
Absolutely fantastic! Clean and amazing service! From receptionist to the lady covering breakfast, great job!!
Well Rooms are small so rate should be little less
Food staff location and stay
Very central
Everything was good
Mary was there to great us and she couldn’t have been nicer! She held our bags while we started exploring Killarney. She helped us with taxis, recommendations and directions. Really made our stay special!
Too hot inside the room
Lovely hotel
The room was nice and slept well in the double bed.
I was not impressed with the breakfast pricing as it was higher than the local breakfast places for the more or less same food. Expected a lower price range for guests in the hotel.
Hotel was in the perfect location for exploring Kilarney. The hotel staff were some of the firendliest and most helpful people we met in Ireland - now that is saaying a lot as everyone in Ireland was super friendly. Full Irish breakfast was good and the service outstanding.
While they did not have parking on the premises, there were multiple solutions for us that were convenient enough to meet our needs. Mulitple public parking places within walking distance that allowed overnight parking.
Very helpful and friendly staff, great location, nice and comfortable room
Breakfast too expensive, should have cheaper options. WiFi was not working very well.
Bathroom taps were dated, could have put in a temp mixer
Sehr freundliches Personal und tolles Frühstück
The facility met all of our expectations as it was within the city limits making the city very walkable. Parking was easy. Breakfast was very good...and the room was very comfortable.
Great little hotel in the centre of Killarney. The breakfast was excellent and the staff were great. Was the best value hotel in Killarney at my time of travel

Sehr gute Lage.
Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig.
We enjoyed every aspect of our stay at this charming hotel. The staff was exceptional, warm, and welcoming. We happened to arrive on the day of a big football match, when the town was especially busy. The young woman at the front desk was personable, attentive, and incredibly helpful in suggesting and booking a dinner reservation for us. Our room was spacious and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and a highlight of our stay. We also appreciated the hotel's central location, which made it easy to explore the area. We would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to others.
Cannot think of anything
Our room was clean, nicely decorated and HUGE. Breakfast in the morning was excellent
Was a bit noisy from the street but I brought ear plugs and was not a problem for me.
Location, breakfast was unreal all cooked fresh. Staff top notch.
Since the hotel is in a convenient location from the train station, we were easily able to walk to it. The reception area always had a friendly staff member to greet us and answer our questions. I was glad there was a lift after my knee started to give me trouble. We were able to find good bars, restaurants, and a convenience store very close by. The hotel vibe is not pretentious, but warm and comfortable- just the way we like it.
I was glad to get a cooked breakfast at the hotel, but I would have also liked to have had the choice of paying less for a smaller breakfast as an alternative.
Close by a lot of things; included a fan in our room
Beds could be a little more comfortable
The location was perfect! Room was clean and the staff were all super friendly and helpful.
Having an actual key for the room.
10/10 stay -- will return next time im in town
Great location, very cheap/ easy parking nearby, staff was very nice/ friendly. Lovely view from room
Loud noise level outside very late at night and very early in the morning even with earplugs (bar across the street left music on even after closing and threw kegs around onto a truck at 6:00 in the morning) room was VERY warm even with a fan so the window couldn't be closed
Central and lovely bar
No shampoo only small soap bars and no air con
