Eviston House Hotel: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Location was great! Surrounded by plenty of pubs, cafes and shopping. Staff was very helpful in all aspects. Go to Celtic Kitchen Café for breakfast
Positive experience: Danny Mann restaurant is attached and was a very nice spot to have dinner just a block off the main tourist street.
Fantastic experience: Lovely stay at Eviston house Hotel, centrally located and fantastic breakfast.
Positive experience: Older hotel on a main street. Restaurant/pub attached. Lift to different floors, but steps also on each floor making a challenge for luggage. Beds were fine but flat hard pillows.
Negative experience: The kindest thing i can say about this hotel is.....bulldoze it now!
Fantastic experience: My wife and I were attending a Psychiatric Nurses 50th Anniversary Event in Killarney! Rooms: Comfortable, spacious, warm and noise pollution free. Service: Great Breakfast; excellent professional & caring staff. Reception Manager, on duty 15th & 16th September, 2025 was most accommodating & empathetic. Location: Central; close to all relevant amenities, attractions, and places of interest. Many thanks for a most memorable experience !
Negative experience: Booked because it was centrally located and had parking available. When we arrived the receptionist vaguely told us where the parking was but not a specific address. We were unable to locate it and therefore parked in a public car park. Our room was newly decorated and had a very strong paint smell. The room was ok clean but basic. The washbasin had a crack in it. Are in the bar where food was remarkably ok and staff were great. Singing entertainment was good and it finished at 10pm We went to our room and realised that directly next door was an out door pub where there were lots of people having a great time, loud group - all fair enough as it was a Friday night THE MUSIC CONTINUED UNTIL 3am We asked about this the next morning and a very disinterested staff member said it was in every weekend There should be a clear notice when booking that this takes place as it was absolutely ridiculous- it was like being there. We had about 4 hours sleep
Fantastic experience: I'm fortunate to come to Killarney twice a year for a vacation, whilst I've never stayed here until now I've had a drink in the Danny Mann lounge which this hotel is part of. I only booked this trip a week ago so thought I would stay at this hotel which is right in the heart of the town. I must say I'm very impressed, the rooms are exceptionally clean, every member of the team have spoken to genuinely polite and helpful. This morning's cooked breakfast is one of the best I have had in the town. It's great value too. Let's just try and keep this delight a secret ☘️
Negative experience: Location is very close to the intersection between Main and New street. Countless numbers of tourists hanging around the bars and pubs late at night. Which make it unbearable for people wishes staying in a quiet environment. Hotel is a prehistoric building and sound insulation didn’t exist at all.
Negative experience: There was construction being carried out in the room next to mine at 8am. Considering the price of the rooms I find this unacceptable, the room was also filthy and had a used towel on the bathroom door.
Negative experience: Muy mala experiencia. Toallas sucias, olian fatal. Moquetas sucia, llemas de manchas,,olian a polvo Abstenerse alérgicos al polvo. Hotel muy ruidoso. Ventanas viejas que no cerraban bien El desayuno incluido lamentable. Si querías algo caliente tenias que pagarlo, solo había bollería escasa y de mala calidad. Lamentablemente el trato se las camareras de desayuno, parecia que le debías dinero.
Negative experience: Teníamos la habitación en un tercero y aunque cerráramos las ventanas, se escuchaba rodo lo que sucedía en la calle, como si la habitación estuviera a pie de calle. Las camas de hundían, y no pudimos descansar nada
Positive experience: Fraglich
Positive experience: Not a bad hotel, off street parking which is great when you are travelling on a motorbike. Reception staff were excellent. The bar staff, not quite so good, a bit slow serving when you're the only one waiting. Bar manageress had a quite unfriendly attitude, I was carrying my bike kit through the bar too the hotel and stopped to give her room to walk through, a thankyou costs nothing. I decided to eat in the restaurant that evening, and went for the belly pork, I think it had been cooked with in an inch of its life, as it was very dry thank god for the gravy and mash. The room was fine, but a long walk from reception. Saying that I would happily stay here again.
Fantastic experience: Stunningly beautiful
Positive experience: Three words: bed on wheels. You can only imagine the piles of furniture I had to wedge around the bed to keep it from careening across the room dare I even THINK about leaning my head against the wall to read. Otherwise, not bad. Central. Front desk was very helpful. In fact they were so nice I couldn't bring myself to complain about the roller derby bed situation.
Fantastic experience: My wife and I came to town to celebrate our 25th anniversary. We would recommend the Eviston House Hotel based on their great location, free parking, accommodating staff, and fun pub. They had live music during our stay! Our stay was during the week of unseasonably hot weather and the front desk gave us a fan for the room was unexpected. Stay here is you are looking to be centrally located to shopping, pubs, and a short drive to the National park.
Positive experience: Ho soggiornato due notti in questo hotel. Pulito e con prodotti di cortesia molto buoni. Il necessario era presente. Nonostante sia sopra al pub non si e sentito alcun rumore. Il personale cortese. L'hotel è dotato di parcheggio nel retro che è stato molto difficoltoso utilizzarlo.
Positive experience: Nice place to stay
Negative experience: If I could give this hotel zero stars I would. £100 sterling for a Monday night, on my arrival to the hotel I was grunted at by 2 ladies at the front desk, none of them being local, you will find no Irish charm here. Terrible place with terrible staff. It won’t let me post it on here but all I can say is seedy and unfriendly with ladies of the night and lots of non locals living in this hotel
Negative experience: This would have been a four star experience based on the beds and bathroom, which were great, however the insane amount of noise from either A. the dance class across from our room, B. the dance club music blasting at night, or C. the slags yelling in the alley below us, all made it impossible to relax or sleep. Also, the lack of ventilation means you either have to open the one window and have more noise, or sweat throughout the night. Just not a great choice all around.
Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel, right in the middle of town. Was on the top floor so noise at night was minimal
Negative experience: Horrible experience staying at this hotel due to excessive noise throughout the night. Windows have no insulation. Absolute miserable experience. Cannot recommend staying here for anyone if your goal is to sleep. People yelling and cars racing in the street throughout the night. Such a bad experience for a completely overpriced property.
Fantastic experience: Great location and really friendly staff I would highly recommend staying here!
Fantastic experience: Great spot in the middle of Killarney. Super meal. Great value. Would return.
Positive experience: Basic rooms. In the town centre.
Positive experience: Friendly staff, room and bathroom clean. Good continental breakfast. In the centre of the town. A bit noise in the morning from the road.
Fantastic experience: I stayed during the week with my dog. Excellent pet friendly hotel. As I was by myself the staff helped accommodate me for breakfast delivering to the room as I couldn’t eat in the breakfast dinning room. Location in Killarney was fab. Parking close by. Underneath is the Danny Mann pub great food & trad music with a pet friendly area & a pet menu… it was a great experience will definitely be back
Fantastic experience: Really lovely stay. Great food and music in the bar. Rooms quite large and had the best sleeps ive had in ages. Big thanks to Grainne who works here, shes so charming and helped us plan what spots to visit on our trip too. Other staff were great too. Will stay again!
Fantastic experience: Really beautiful hotel,great location, very clean,nice food&good music in the danny inn, very helpfull and friendly staff, excellent carpark setup also, giving this a positive 5⭐ I will definitely be back, highly recommended to all A+
Fantastic experience: I have spent the night here and It has been the best choice I made. It is a very nice and cosy hotel and also not too expensive to be in the town center. I'm very thankful to the staff for being so nice to me, also for letting me having breakfast a little bit out of time. It was amazing the man playing live music in the bar at night. The room was great, big and very relaxing. The owner, Patrick, is a lovely person. I'm so happy I could get to know this place and these people. I will come back for sure.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful location with local music and bar. They had a restaurant but we didn't eat there. Rooms were cozy and you couldn't hear the music. Would stay again.
Negative experience: I was enjoying my dinner with my fitness until we heard an alarm and one of my friends shouted fire. Then a bar worker with a beard came over and rudely asked us ‘who’s the clown who shouted fire’ in my opinion I think this is very rude and the manager then would not serve us anymore as we shouted fire. Very rude staff
Fantastic experience: Very nice spot
Thank you very much.
Negative experience: I lived here as a Ukrainian refugee for 1 year. It was awful. The food and conditions that the owner and the entire staff of the hotel created for us were unacceptable. Indifferent manager and very rude staff. Food is unsatisfactory.
Negative experience: Worst hotel what I’ve ever seen, this hotel seems good outside but inner part is so bad, hate this place, but u live in a town
Negative experience: bad air, bad food, dirty, unfriendly staff!!!!
Fantastic experience: Good hotel! Personal so nice. Great location. Clean, dry and warm in winter time.
Fantastic experience: Great local hotel fantastic staff
Fantastic experience: very nice place, thank you for accepting Ukrainians who need protection, and my family
Fantastic experience: I have lived here as a Ukrainian refugee for 1 year and 5 months with my 6-year-old son. I am grateful for the support and for the conditions that the owner and all the staff of the hotel have created for us, Ukrainians. Excellent service, excellent and fair manager, friendly reception, excellent cuisine that always listened to our wishes, always clean and safe. Thank you for everything that at such a crucial moment, you opened your doors for us as a Ukrainian nation.
Fantastic experience: Everything was perfect. the girls at the reception were so nice, the Bar staff, excellent and fast service. Will be back with my friends. Thank Adam
Negative experience: We stayed Saturday and Sunday night the service was absolutely terrible and the hotel it self was expensive for what it’s worth. Then 6 am the hotel goes on fire we were left on the path for hours with no explanation and still we don’t know what happend what a Traumatic experience the only bright side most people seem to have got there stuff back I called the hotel to see if everyone was okay the person on the phone said YES and cut off the phone ironically sounded like a fire alarm going off behind her i definitely don’t recommend this hotel to stay in
Negative experience: Couldn't get a table to eat last night, waited ages in a queue to get a drink and gave up to go somewhere else, the TV channel selection was not great and the free parking was a joke with very limited spaces for the ammout of rooms, one star is due to the high price point and terrible or non existent service
Fantastic experience: When we arrived we got such a brilliantly warm welcome. It was fantastic. The room was very good, considering the price we paid we weren't expecting 5 stars but it did the job and it was clean. The hotel is right in the centre of Killarney and you couldn't get a better location. I was worried about the parking however it is a first come first served basis, and there is a big car park at the back you would have to pay for but it isn't a big deal as you will probably be out most of the day anyway. I will be back. Jackie is a legend also.
Fantastic experience: lovely hotel and people, rooms very clean and comfortable beds, very tasty food.
Fantastic experience: Lovely staff, couldn't do enough for you, lovely food, the hole experience was very pleasent and value for money.
Fantastic experience: As usual our stay was amazing, I have stayed at this hotel multiple times Through out the years as it is in the best location for where ever you would like to go and always The service is marvelous especially from the bar man I can never remember his name but he is the man (sorry if it insults you) With the red ginger hair the most well mannered, great humored, friendly bar man that Iv ever met and Iv worked in the industry for many years As a bar woman my self and my god this hotel is very lucky to have him As an employee, he makes guests feel like there at home in there local it’s fantastic! Complete 5 star rating highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel. The staff were great - especially Tanya who was really friendly and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: Great place to put stop for grub.Nice staff and well located in killarney town .it is also keenly priced compared to other places in the town.We always go for the roast as it reliable and tasty
Fantastic experience: Fab customer service. The assistant manager Tanya made our stay so enjoyable. Without a doubt we will be back
Fantastic experience: Stylist hotel with amazingly friendly and professional staff. Perfect location walking distance from everything. Would recommend
Fantastic experience: Me and my friends were very happy we stayed in this location. The employees there were really helpful. Breakfast had variety and you will surely find what you like. Mrs. VITALIJA was a lovely person and super friendly. She was very helpful in every way when we tried to get our evening meal and breakfast. Big thanks to you VITALIJA and best of luck. I will definitely go back again. All stay was wonderful, highly recommended. Jolanta from Roscrea.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant stay, friendly staff, nice clean hotel
Negative experience: We went to the resturant and had to wait 45 mun to get served. The irish and romanian waitresses ignored everyone who looked Nordic and only served people who were clearly locals with the popped collars and scary beards.
Fantastic experience: Spotless clean.Price is very reasonable given it is the centre of the town.
Positive experience: Staff at reception very polite, but one young waitress Hanorah stood out the most she took time out of her way to speak with us also a bar tender kieran but for the rest a big let down rules changed to suit them
Fantastic experience: Fab Hotel Real friendly staff .excellent food...
Fantastic experience: Develin was an unreal waiter, very quick and polite!!
Positive experience: Centrally located. Clean. Friendly staff. Good food, and drink.
Positive experience: Covid 19 guidelines are followed within this hotel. No tea and coffee facilities in the hotel room anymore. This is a dog friendly hotel, dogs permitted in the rooms and the lobby only. Friendly staff, however room was cold with only one heater in a room that sleeps 3.
Positive experience: Stayed two nights, lovely hotel and great location. We were greeted by friendly staff members at reception (America I think?). Promptly received our room keys. The room was very clean and bright. Only thing was that we had three in a room but only two towels in the bathroom and the hairdryer wasn’t working. Other than that couldn’t fault the room. Had breakfast both mornings in the hotel, again lovely staff there too. Would definitely recommend the breakfast, which we booked at reception. Had dinner the first evening in the Danny Mann located right next door to the hotel. Great food and service. Again, our server from New Zealand was so friendly despite us thinking he might be from Oz. Parking is limited but there was a car park at the back of the hotel about a 5 minute walk which was easily accessible.
Positive experience: Staff worked very hard to ensure guests happy. Breakfast excellent! Location super
Negative experience: This was by far the worst hotel I've stayed in. Staff constantly forgetting orders for our table. Being charged for items we didn't receive on our restaurant bill. The waitress didn't speak any English so was difficult for her to understand our orders. The other waitress at breakfast was so rude. Grunting answers at us and walking away while we were still trying to order. They seated us separately even though we reserved a table together. The food was mediocre at best. Dressed fries were sloppy and stale. They didn't even bring us water or juice at breakfast we kept trying to grab someone's attention to serve us. The scrambled eggs were so runny and undercooked they made the hash browns wet so we sent them back only to have the soggy hash browns returned on a new plate. The rooms were filthy. Hadn't been cleaned properly as we food an unopened can of beer in the desk drawer. No Toliet roll or shower gel or shampoo in bathroom. We were given our keys at 3:30 after waiting over an hour only to go to our room and see housekeeping only starting to clean our room from the previous guests so we could not even leave our bags in the room. The only saving grace was a waiter named Devlin who was friendly and competent and actually knew what he was doing. Other than this I cannot say anything positive about this hotel. We heard 3 other guests complaining about various things. Avoid this hotel.
Positive experience: Friendly staff, our room was right beside the kitchen so could hear fans on the fridges all night, could sleep through it but was irritating. Never a spot in car park so will have to park 5 minutes walk, not an issue but not what was advertised. Cleaners kept coming into the room early even after been told they will only enter if tag is on the door. Room was comfortable best thing I could say about the place was the staff at reception were polite and very informative
Negative experience: Room carpet damp. Only good thing was there was hot water No hot water in the radiator though. Requested a brew kit, received a kettle without any mugs or tea. Food was cold, and poor dining facilities upstairs. Waited 30mins for someone to sit us in the danny man downstairs, Left us sitting for similar time before taking drink or food order. Tv didnt work 3 pillows for a king size bed Room furniture belongs in a student flat Entrance to parking only suitable for an Italian job mini cooper or a smart car unless you want to delete your wing mirrors
Positive experience: This place was spot on the money and was implementing all the Covid 19 era procedures, from queuing to refusing drinks orders without food orders and social Distancing to boot, felt happy and safe here and enjoy the fayre on offer, one to revisit on our next trip !
Positive experience: very central staff lovely particular mention goes to Emma Rose who looked after us on our 3 night stay here ... house keeping was spot on during the plandemic... food ok nice couldn't fault it ... downside the over flow of the restaurant were sent upstairs which in my opinion is outdated
Negative experience: Very friendly and helpful staff, friendly atmosphere. Room was clean & comfortable but some of the furniture could do with replacing. The WiFi is terrible, used mobile data most of the time. Parking is a public car park nearby, it’s not associated with the hotel and there are charges during most of the day.
Negative experience: For the Danny man: You will enjoy the food but your conversation will revolve around how poor the service is. You get seated and a menu, they take your order, wait ages for your food, wait ages for your drinks to arrive, they'll forget bits of your order, wait over 30 minutes for desert menu and your bill, people next to us were waiting 40 minutes for their starter & ended up leaving as server never put in the order. It's the same story every time we go in, today was probably the last time we'll say "oh but the food is good" and go in. Someone needs to spend SERIOUS time training the servers i
Negative experience: Firstly no car spaces available, had to park in a public car park at our own expense even tho' free car park was advertised. No tea making facilities available. Had to go to nearest shop for coffee.
Negative experience: Terrible hotel ,rooms disgusting dark and depressing staff incompetent and rude and the small tiny bald man behind the bar was rude to everyone .overall horrible experience would not recommend the place
Negative experience: Filthy hotel and waiter staff were very rude, hand sanitizer units were empty, staff plastic face coverings were filthy, not changing gloves after they cleaned other people's dishes from tables, will hand you your food with the very same gloves on
Positive experience: Hotel staff niece and helpful, no car park which with two little kids is a nightmare.no kettle in the room.Overall u wouldn't expect any more from the 3stars.
Positive experience: Stayed there last week with famiy and my dog. Got on great....
Positive experience: Just left from a 1 night stay. Hotel was very nice and very central staff were exceptional! Will definitely return.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place right in the heart of Killarney Beautiful staff couldnt do enough for you
Fantastic experience: Great place to put stop for grub.Nice staff and well located in killarney town .it is also keenly priced compared to other places in the town.We always go for the roast as it reliable and tasty
Positive experience: Food was ok. There wasn't enough of it though. People very nice but seemed under pressure or distracted.
Positive experience: Lovely hotel, the rooms are spacious & good value for the money you pay. Beds very comfortable also. Service was really good, very nice and friendly staff. The Danny Mann Pub & Restaurant beside the hotel is great for food. Overall a great nights stay. Will be back again!
Negative experience: Food ok service good but the toilets were a big let down
Fantastic experience: Lovely place. Food is excellent and staff are great.
Fantastic experience: Big hotel that feels small. Lots of walking to get to your room. I messed up my online booking and they did a great job to fix everything and apply the previously charged fees to the new booking. Hotel is right in the thick of everything so it might be a little noisy. We used the public parking and it only cost a few bucks from 4pm until the next morning.
Fantastic experience: Right in the middle of things to do. Great staff, fun pub with music every night
Fantastic experience: Stayed here last weekend and loved it!!. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great atmosphere throughout. All the staff members were friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel.
Fantastic experience: Cracker location right in the centre. Coffee shops food and shopping all around. Lovely staff clean rooms cheap in November
Fantastic experience: Great hotel. We checked in and our room was instantly ready. We walked in the room expecting two single beds and we walked into what looked like a small apartment. I instantly worried we were in the wrong room and walked back downstairs only to find out they gave us a complimentary upgrade. Hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Fab staff food and we will be back
Fantastic experience: I have stayed here many times over the years and I can highly recommend Eviston House Hotel. Vance and his staff are very friendly and professional and the rooms and service are fantastic. Very good value for money also.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant highly recommend food rooms staff all excellent
Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel. However to get to the car park it is very narrow. Should only be attempted by the most confident drivers. All in all though lovely stay.
Fantastic experience: Very comfortable and good food and great service
Fantastic experience: A very nice hotel with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Danny Mann bar/restaurant has plenty of space, a great atmosphere and entertainment. Parking around the back is a public carpark.
Fantastic experience: We did not have a chance to stay at the Hotel as the airline delayed us 24 hours so room was given away the second night for a 3 night stay. Understandably. However, the hotel Clerk, Vance, was a dear and found us a place. Thank you Vance, good job. Ann and Linda.
Fantastic experience: A beautiful hotel, room and relaxing bath. Lovely staff. Easy to get in and out of the hotel without walking all over the place. We come to this hotel every time were in killarney, great price and we will be back again
Fantastic experience: Stayed here last weekend and loved it!!. Clean and comfortable rooms. Great atmosphere throughout. All the staff members were friendly & helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay at this hotel.
Fantastic experience: What a great week we had staying here. The staff were fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful. The food was excellent and our room was clean and very comfortable. It was extremely busy as it is a popular hotel but the restaurant and bar staff were coping very well and always had a smile. The bar is the Danny Mann where live Irish music is performed every night, give it a try you will love it.
Positive experience: The room was spotless, the beds were very comfortable and the location was very central
Positive experience: Good hotel very central and quite affordable however parking is an issue
Negative experience: Arrived late on a friday and there were a load of underage drinkers shouting outside the entrance. Car park fits about 10 cars, and when I rang to book I wasn't made aware that this is a first come first served basis. Because of this, we had to pay for parking at a separate car park over the weekend. The room was okay, comfy beds and spacious but not the cleanest (we found dust bunnies in the bathroom). I didn't find the staff to be particularly friendly. All in all, I wouldn't be recommending this as somewhere to stay in killarney. There are plenty of affordable bnbs in the area that are a comparable price, but much nicer.
