We knew beforehand that you cannot book a dinner reservation in 2 of the 3 on site restaurants. We had to wait 1 hour for a table for dinner after putting our name/room number on the waitlist. They only start the waitlist when the restaurant is full so we put our name down at 6.15pm. This process for dining is not a 5 star experience. Food, the room and facilities were very good and service very prompt.

Fabulous weekend away. Up the road. It wasike stepping into a different world. 5 star all the way. Staff made it for me. From the minute we arrived. Reception, bar, 6 couldn't do enough. Can I say a big thank you to 6 waiter tonight. Impeccable service and still had time for a little chat chat. Desert was amazing.but for me it was deffently the 6 star service.

The perfect destination to celebrate this big life event. The staff where so helpful and friendly, very professional but are able to have the craic at the same time. Food in both viva restaurant and panoramic restaurants was delicious. The spa facilities absolutely unreal, best sleep I've ever had in the comfiest of bed. Can't think of 1 fault, the best.

Excellent lunch in Riva restaurant. Superb food. Beautiful freshly baked breads and dips to start. Wonderful Catalan Fish Stew - you have to try. Nice wine selection. Lovely staff. A big shout out to Ruben who was most welcoming and a superb hospitality manner. Overall we had a wonderful lunch....

This hotel has ruined all other hotel stays for us - because any other hotel I stay in will be compared to this one. We stayed here on a short break, the entire stay was amazing. The staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. The Active level is great, such a lovely experience. The Spa is fantastic, myself and my wife had massage treatments - it was incredible. The rooms were very nice, the view was spectacular and the beds were the most comfortable I've ever slept in. Dinner was very tasty, the service was incredible and the staff were so attentive. The bar staff were very friendly and on top of everything, the Guinness was top notch and the cocktails were great. Breakfast options were plenty, everything was perfect. Will definitely be returning!

Prior to this weekend I referred to The Europe as my “favourite place in Ireland”. Unfortunately it was not the place I had remembered from 12 years ago. My boyfriend and I booked a 2 night package which comprised of 2 nights b+b and a meal in the Panorama restaurant (€955). On arrival the first thing I noticed was the crowds of people - fair enough, it’s a bank holiday weekend. However considering the cost of the package, and The Europe’s reputation as being “luxurious” and “a real treat” I was surprised (and yes slightly disappointed) to see the quantity of children running around the place. I felt like I had just checked into a busy airport. We were grateful that we could check in early and mesmerised by the size of the tv and cleanliness of the bathroom (lovely shower too). However our bed was actually two single beds pushed together - we’d make a better effort if we had guests staying at home. Our first visit to the spa was like a visit to Centre Parcs. Children everywhere - splashing and jumping into the infinity jacuzzi. The “adults only” thermal suite had kids running in and out playing with the ice bowl. The bar does in fact stay closed till 5.30pm. So unless you beat the crowd to the cosy spots in the lounge or library you’ll have to settle for a seat in the reception area beside screaming babies. Staff were also clearly very stressed and under pressure. Dinner in the Panorama restaurant was lovely, but again children everywhere. 5* food but not particularly 5* fine dining experience. The following day we were up early to play a game of tennis. The courts were disgraceful. The surface was (a) unplayable and (b) dangerous. Seriously though - considering the expense of the place you would think they could afford to put some money into fixing the surface. Needless to say, our tennis game didn’t last long. On our second evening we had dinner in the Brasserie. We were told we could not book a table but they operate on a first come first serve basis. Thankfully we only had to wait 30 mins for the table as we arrived at 6pm. However we noticed a number of couples had to wait up to two hours for a table. Again, this is not 5* standard. The cost of the two night stay would have got us a week abroad. We were aware that was going to be the case prior to the weekend, and we have no problem spending on a 5* experience. The Europe has not kept up with other 5* hotels in Ireland. I won’t be returning.

Great four day stay, a proper 5*. The staff were outstanding, food in the Panorama - well! Will be back but it’d be great if kids weren’t allowed in the outdoor (amazing view) pool. Breakfast was fecken sensational. I’d advise a stay as it’s an oasis away from the mayhem...

This place is fantastic. They have not missed any detail. From the fireplaces scattered through, to the grounds, to the rooms, to the pool area. Spectacular. Be sure to walk the grounds and save time to visit the pool area. Just slip on your robe and slippers over swimsuit and...

This place is fantastic. They have not missed any detail. From the fireplaces scattered through, to the grounds, to the rooms, to the pool area. Spectacular. Be sure to walk the grounds and save time to visit the pool area. Just slip on your robe and slippers over swimsuit and head down. Enjoyed the bubbly outdoor hot tub in a slight cool drizzle, and then hit the sauna. Music in lounge during evening was great and the drink pours generous. Loved this place!

Stayed 3 nights here and it is a true 5 star resort. Some hotels I rate 5 stars because they’re nice, clean, helpful staff. This place is the next step up from that. Don’t miss a visit to the spa, sauna, steam room, wonderful indoor outdoor hot tub. Staff great,...

Stayed 3 nights here and it is a true 5 star resort. Some hotels I rate 5 stars because they’re nice, clean, helpful staff. This place is the next step up from that. Don’t miss a visit to the spa, sauna, steam room, wonderful indoor outdoor hot tub. Staff great, music in bar great, grounds beautiful. It’s the touches like a separate elevator directly to the spa allowing you to bypass the lobby in your robe make this a special place.

Our Irish family who heard we were staying at the Europe all went ooohhhh ahhhh, and that is exactly how we felt staying there! It was exquisite! The space was large and had a gorgeous view of the lake and the bathroom was huge! The service was 5 star all the way and we were treated like VIPs. Robert in the bar took such great care of our loud and raucous group of couples, we talked about him for the rest of the trip! We planned to play tennis, but Robert served us too many Dingle Drinks and we had soooo much fun that tennis didn't happen. The food was perfect and our room was spotless! I can't say enough about the luxury of the Europe. The only suggestion...the hot tub needs to be about 2 degrees warmer:)

Just absolutely a fabulous hotel. The location, amenities, pool, spa and staff are “ the best of the best.” Let me recognize, the fabulous Liz Murphy. My wife left two pieces of clothing behind and Liz took it upon herself to send it to a hotel we were planning on...

Just absolutely a fabulous hotel. The location, amenities, pool, spa and staff are “ the best of the best.” Let me recognize, the fabulous Liz Murphy. My wife left two pieces of clothing behind and Liz took it upon herself to send it to a hotel we were planning on staying in Belfast. I offered to pay but Liz said , We’ll take care of it. The parcel arrived and my wife was super happy. The stay for us was priceless! Great job, Europe Hotel and great job , Liz.

Fabulous hotel and surrounds. We have been so pleasantly surprised by our experience here at The Europe. We contemplated lunch in Killarney town en route but I’m so glad we waited until we arrived. We had such a lovely afternoon on the sun drenched terrace with delicious food and wine....

Fabulous hotel and surrounds. We have been so pleasantly surprised by our experience here at The Europe. We contemplated lunch in Killarney town en route but I’m so glad we waited until we arrived. We had such a lovely afternoon on the sun drenched terrace with delicious food and wine. Our room is very nice. It is a golf side as there were no lake view available. It’s very well appointed and comfortable but I would opt for lake view next time. Staff are just lovely throughout and there is an elegant but not ostentatious atmosphere. We can be relaxed in manner and dress and feel like it’s a holiday instead of a stuffy, pretentious experience. We dined on the terrace at Riva lastnight and it was gorgeous. Lovely food and the quiet of the garden with the lake ahead was a perfect backdrop. The pool is beautiful and thermal suite area really nice too. We are travelling kid free on this occasion, but there are families here too and children are welcome and well absorbed into the hotel. The pool has a seperate adults thermal area, but in general the children here during our stay have been very well behaved and added to the character and sense of warmth and family. Very much looking forward to our next trip.

Absolutely amazing hotel! We keep coming back. Lovely rooms, overlooking the lake, delicious food (best breakfast buffet ever) plus friendly staff. We love the pool and gym as well. A bit expensive but worth the money. Sometimes it gets very busy - worth going in spring or later in the...

Absolutely amazing hotel! We keep coming back. Lovely rooms, overlooking the lake, delicious food (best breakfast buffet ever) plus friendly staff. We love the pool and gym as well. A bit expensive but worth the money. Sometimes it gets very busy - worth going in spring or later in the year.

First time staying and really enjoyed the European feel of the hotel . Lakeside room had spectacular view from balcony and room was lovely apart from pillows a bit flat . Had a lovely meal in the brassiere which was reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel . Swimming pool...

First time staying and really enjoyed the European feel of the hotel . Lakeside room had spectacular view from balcony and room was lovely apart from pillows a bit flat . Had a lovely meal in the brassiere which was reasonably priced for a 5 star hotel . Swimming pool , jacuzzi , sauna nall top drawer and great to relax in .The grounds are lovely and it was nice and quite at night .it was a lovely experience but not quite worth twice the price of other nice hotels in Killarney.
