Delicious Breakfast

The breakfast at The Fairview was really good! I loved the variety provided, especially the fresh fruits and the option to order hot foods, like the egg on salmon and potato which was to die for. The waffles with berries were also a highlight. The quality and presentation were great, making breakfast my favorite part of the stay.

The Fairview Hotel is a charming stay in the heart of Killarney. I loved the warm atmosphere and the attentiveness of the staff. The location is perfect for exploring, just a short walk from various shops and restaurants. However, while the room was spacious and clean, it felt somewhat dated and could use some upgrades. Overall, it offers great value for money, especially with the delicious breakfast and exceptional service.

Our stay at this boutique hotel was absolutely delightful! The rooms were spotless and spacious, with an incredible bathroom featuring a jacuzzi that made it so relaxing. The location couldn't be better—right in the heart of everything, including shops and pubs. The only downside was the inconsistent heating during our stay, which was less than ideal.

My stay at The Fairview was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, right in the heart of Killarney, allowing easy access to restaurants and shops. The room was modern and very clean, but I wish the bed had felt more luxurious. Breakfast was a highlight, with delicious food and friendly service. However, I had a disappointing experience with a staff member during breakfast that impacted my stay more than I expected.
