8/10 Very good

Staff very friendly. Hotel itself was a bit dated but well kept. Perfect for longer stay as the hotel had many spaces to lounge and relax while overlooking the sea.

Lovely room but...

Room was lovely. Very disappointed with breakfast. Hot breakfast served on a cold plate, and items cooked some time before., so not fresh. Served to order but not cooked to order unfortunately. Also, service wss very slow. We were 30 mins waiting for our cooked breakfast.

Loved the breakfast offerings and friendly staff. The pub and lovely bartender also great. Also loved the Charlie Chaplin connection. Wish we could have spent more time at your venue-we shall return!

Stumbled upon this quaint place with a great view! Staff was fantastic and the breakfast was delicious! Met some wonderful travelers as well! This place is such a fun, neat stay with a close walk into town. Highly recommend
Jessica, 1-night trip

Nice place

The hotel was a modest 3 star . The location is great but the building is tired and needs updating. Breakfast was good. I just wouldn’t claim that it was a 4 star hotel, in its heyday, maybe.

Friendly Staff and Great Location

Staff is super friendly and the hotel is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Rooms were a little older, but very clean. Location is perfect for dining (on-site is great as well), walking the boardwalk and only two minutes from the golf course. Would stay here again.

Lovely Hotel

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ate all means at the hotel, but it could have been better.
3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We chose to stay at Butlers Arms because it was the closest hotel to Portmagee Skellig Island boat trips. We were delighted to discover that the hotel is in the charming seaside town of Waterville and directly on the Ring of Kerry. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and our room was very large and looked out to the rock beach. They have a pub, bar, and restaurant. The parking was a little difficult to find (it’s an interior courtyard area of the hotel). We had a great stay!

Beaufitul hotel. Very clean.
Bradley, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is one of those great early 20th century hotels that has grown even better with age. All rooms are on one side of the hallways so each has an ocean view. And the accommodations, while wonderfully updated, still ooze that classy old charm! The staff (particularly Katie & Miguel) were nothing short of wonderful, and the strand and surrounding area are the stuff dream vacations are made of!
Jennifer, 1-night trip

Excellent experience. Beautiful scenery A
William, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a fabulous room (lots of space) with a fantastic view of Ballinskellings Bay. Lots of luxury touches in the room. Our dinner (and breakfast) were excellent. NO question this is an outstanding lodging.
Elmer, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very pleasant overnight stay

We had a spacious and comfortable room with a sea view. All the staff who we came in contact with were friendly and efficient. The breakfast is very good with lots of choice including kippers which is always a bonus. If you have lunch here be warned that the portions are enormous. My toasted special sandwich would easily have been enough for two.
Dick, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Little hot

The only concern is that the hotel is dated, with NO air conditioning is really apparent that having fans would be needed. The meals were first class and delicious, the service was excellent and the view is spectacular!
