Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a cozy and quiet stay with exceptional service and a fantastic central location for exploring the South Kerry area and Valentia. The dining experience is nice, but could use a few improvements. Overall, it's a great value for the money.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel with modern, tastefully decorated rooms offering breathtaking sea views, efficient service, and a serene atmosphere. Just be cautious of the room rates. The sea view from my room was absolutely delightful.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel in Waterville. The rooms were spacious and very clean, offering a perfect view of the sea. The service was top class, although there was a small mishap with hot soup. The location was superb for exploring the South Kerry area with beautiful views of the bay, but it could get noisy at times. The dining experience was generally good, with plenty of choices, and the facilities were adequate for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The room offered a modern and tasteful decor with a breathtaking sea view, though it was a bit small and dated, it was spotlessly clean. The bed was comfortable, and there was plenty of space with a good view. The service was top-notch with friendly staff who helped us with secure motorcycle parking and showed us to our twin suite. Ann and Deirdre at reception were particularly excellent. The location couldn't have been better, walkable to pubs and attractions, right by the water with free private parking. The dining experience was mostly excellent, albeit a slight taste issue, and the facilities were superb.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and stylish, with a comfortable double bed and efficient sound-proofing. The service was top-notch, especially at The Butler Arms. The location couldn't be better, offering stunning views of the bay and easy access to the beach. Overall, a great value for money with plenty of activities nearby.
