The Victoria

“Great little hotel”

Great little hotel. It’s a short cab into the town but that makes parking easy after a long day of driving. Big lot! We loved the ivy- covered exterior. The rooms were very nice with large common areas. Breakfast was included and made to order. We would highly recommend!

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at the Victoria. Checking in with Maura was like being welcomed by an old friend. Maura epitomises Irish hospitality; so warm and greeted us by name with her friendly smile every time we met. The girls in the restaurant and the boys in the bar were equally welcoming and the food and drink was exceptional. The hotel is beautifully decorated; bright and vibrant. Our room was simply pure comfort. We very much look forward to our next opportunity to visit Killarney and stay in the Victoria. Thank you for a wonderful weekend. Orla & Paul

“Well worth a stay”

Lovely hotel within easy reach of the town centre and ideally located for the Kerry NP. Friendly welcome from the reception. We had a lovely spacious room, with en-suite walk-in shower, fridge and safe. Good breakfast menu included in our costs

“When in Killarney don't stay anywhere else but the Victoria House...”

My wife and I stayed at the Victoria House Hotel in Killarney, Ireland for three nights in early October 2024 as part of our vacation to England and Ireland.

My wife and I stayed at the Victoria House Hotel in Killarney, Ireland for three nights in early October 2024 as part of our vacation to England and Ireland. We loved England and Ireland but Killarney was our favorite place to visit - and the Victoria House was beyond a shadow of a doubt the most amazing hotel we stayed in during our multi city vacation. We arrived at the Victoria House on October 5, 2024 and were immediately welcomed by Megan (who we spoke with multiple times during our stay) and Sinead (one of the property owners). Both were gracious in welcoming us, explaining the property amenities to us and helping us get settled into our room. Our room was a spacious suite on the second floor of the hotel. Adjacent to our suite were two nicely appointed lounges with comfortable seating and a fireplace in one of the two areas. Truly a nice touch! When we entered our suite it was larger than we could have imagined. There was a dedicated area with a desk and an area for my wife to put makeup on. There was a sizable closet to store our personal items. Walking into the suite there was a sitting area with two comfortable arm chairs and a large flat panel television. Unlike other properties we stayed at, the television offerings were extensive (much appreciated ). Upon entering the bedroom area we found a king size bed with high end linens, a bench at the end of the bed, another table and plenty of electrical outlets (perfect for those of us that travel with a CPAP, hearing aids and other electronic devices ). The bathroom was huge and by far the most nicely appointed space of every hotel we stayed at during our trip. The shower was spacious, had great water pressure and the water was hot! There was also a large tub in the bathroom (which we never used). Our reservation included breakfast each day in one of the first floor dining areas. Unlike other properties that offered a mediocre buffet breakfast, our meal each morning was cooked to order, served fresh and at the correct temperature and it was the only property we stayed at in both countries that offered real American style coffee each day (THANK YOU). After settling in we went to the hotel bar where we met Mary, one of the supervisors. Mary gregariously welcomed us and got us set up with drinks. She was pleasant, provided extraordinary service and like many of her colleagues, was a wealth of information about things to do and places to visit during our stay. We even mentioned that we were interested in trying Sunday Roast the next day and although Mary was going to be off, she asked the kitchen to make sure they held two roasts for us and they surely did. Thanks again... Although there were many dining choices in Killarney, we so thoroughly enjoyed our dinner our first evening that we ended up eating in the dining room all three nights during our stay. Every meal was perfectly plated, served to perfection and delicious. Most importantly, the service from every staff member we interacted with was extraordinary. As stated, the property is beautiful and well maintained but what sets the Victoria House most apart from others is their commitment to service and hospitality. We need to specifically say thank you to those staff who went out of their way to make us feel like they had known us all our lives and to help us feel welcome. We especially want to thank Megan and Maura at the reception desk, Lucas and Newt (?) in the bar, Natalia in the dining rooms and most especially Mary and Norma (who worked nearly every meal we had during our visit). If we return to Ireland, we would most definitely spend a greater amount of time in Killarney (there's so much to do and see) and we would absolutely stay at the Victoria House again. If you're looking for a place to stay in Killarney, there's no better choice than the Victoria House. Thanks again!!!
