Nice place
The hotel was a modest 3 star . The location is great but the building is tired and needs updating. Breakfast was good. I just wouldn’t claim that it was a 4 star hotel, in its heyday, maybe.

We chose to stay at Butlers Arms because it was the closest hotel to Portmagee Skellig Island boat trips. We were delighted to discover that the hotel is in the charming seaside town of Waterville and directly on the Ring of Kerry. The hotel staff was extremely friendly and our room was very large and looked out to the rock beach. They have a pub, bar, and restaurant. The parking was a little difficult to find (it’s an interior courtyard area of the hotel). We had a great stay!

10/10 Exceptional

This is one of those great early 20th century hotels that has grown even better with age. All rooms are on one side of the hallways so each has an ocean view. And the accommodations, while wonderfully updated, still ooze that classy old charm! The staff (particularly Katie & Miguel) were nothing short of wonderful, and the strand and surrounding area are the stuff dream vacations are made of!

Friendly Staff and Great Location
Staff is super friendly and the hotel is a lot bigger than I thought it would be. Rooms were a little older, but very clean. Location is perfect for dining (on-site is great as well), walking the boardwalk and only two minutes from the golf course. Would stay here again.

We had a fabulous room (lots of space) with a fantastic view of Ballinskellings Bay. Lots of luxury touches in the room. Our dinner (and breakfast) were excellent. NO question this is an outstanding lodging.

Very pleasant overnight stay
We had a spacious and comfortable room with a sea view. All the staff who we came in contact with were friendly and efficient. The breakfast is very good with lots of choice including kippers which is always a bonus. If you have lunch here be warned that the portions are enormous. My toasted special sandwich would easily have been enough for two.
