Nice hotel
Location, food, lounge spaces and staff were all good. However, the bedroom thermostat isn't linked to aircon. Room became hot overnight even though we turned down the temp. and opening the windows didn't work. The noise from the corridor and other bedrooms was bad too.

A slice of heaven
The Lake hotel was better in person than what is seen online (and the photos are wonderful online!). The moment you walk the attention you are given is amazing! A taxi or cab to the center of town, but so worth it. My son hiked around the lake and then we finished up with scones and tea delivered to the room and that is a must have!!!!! The best scones ever! Dinner, bar, room, all amazing. Waking up to the view of the lake and having coffee on the balcony was exactly what I needed. I can not wait to come back again!

Older property with lots of charm. Staff was helpful and friendly. Rooms were on the small side, but very comfortable. Loved the castle ruins near the lake.

Scenery and Service Above and Beyond
The Lake Hotel is a welcoming accomadation with stunning views. The staff find small and large ways to meet your needs and exceed yoyr exoectations. They upgraded our rooms to a lake view, provided great music in the evening, and offered extra bottles of water as we headed out to explore. Sitting in my room and common areas watching the view change was one of my favorite parts of the stay. The sing along in the lounger my last evening there was a community experience. The breakfast was in the lovely dining room and had a vast dejection of choices. Tye dining staff was attentive. The Devil’s Punchbowl Bar gave great service. For those traveling to Killarney National Park, this is a wonderful home base.
