Fairview is in the heart of Killarney which makes for a great location. It is within walking distance of several restaurants, pubs, shopping outlets, a pharmacy and even a church. We took advantage of this and walked around most of the time we were there. On our first night, we went to the Grand Pub for a few beers and... More

We stayed in a room with a queen bed and a twin bed. It is the antique room shown on their card and on their website. It was lovely! The queen bed was a little soft for me, but slept all night except for the excitement outside because of the car races held here this time of year every year.... More

My husband and I stayed two nights at The Fairview and were quite happy with our accommodations. The room was clean and very large. The bath was also clean and roomy. The breakfast was very tasty. The hotel is in the center of town which made it nice for walking about. Parking was easy enough. The only complaint we had... More

The Fairview was a wonderful find for us! We stayed three nights in an executive room. We arrived at the Killarney Train Station, and the Fairview is only about a 3 block walk from there. Upon arrival we were informed our room was not ready yet because it was only about noon time, but we could leave our bags in... More

The service couldn't be better and they accommodated our every request. Tommy in the restaurant section was a gem...knowledgable, efficient and the food was exceptional, just made you look forward to breakfast every morning! The location was close to restaurants and abundant shopping venues. Would definitely return there!

We are a family of 7 that stayed in 3 rooms that were immaculate and very comfortable. The breakfast was excellent with variety to please all in our group. The owners are delightful and personable. Parking is easily accessible and driving to the many sights of Killarney and nearby is quick and easy. It is situated right around the corner... More

I booked a golf group in at the Fairview for 5 nights. The location is excellent for exploring Killarney, with dozens of shops, restaurants and pubs at your doorstep and beyond. James, Bart & Ann were incredibly welcoming and helpful and the impeccable graciousness of Tommy in the breakfast room made us look forward to breakfast each morning. Spacious rooms... More

Hi Hurley Travel, We are always delighted to welcome golfers to the Fairview. As you mentioned, the Executive Rooms or Mini Suites with the Jacuzzi bath is almost a must for those tired muscles. We have plenty of storage area for bags and the location of the Fairview in the most central location in Killarney is a great advantage for... More

My wife and I stayed at this hotel during our honeymoon. We originally booked for 2 nights in a Mini Suite, and upon arrival we were greeted with welcome. If you are traveling by car make sure you know that they don’t have parking facilities and the one closest down the road can cost upwards of 5-10 euro a day... More

We drove to Killarney with nothing booked, and this hotel was ideally centrally located, so we just pulled in. We were given an upgrade for no extra fee, which was a larger room with a jacuzzi bath. The hotel is on a corner but any noise from the road was minimal. Cars can be parked in a public car park... More
