We (two couples) spent two nights at McSweeney's. Very centrally located, well appointed and has reasonable rates. Great bar and the food was excellent in both the dining room and breakfast room. The hosts were very helpful and congenial (as one could expect in Ireland).

We spent 2 nights in Killarney at McSweeney Arms Hotel. Lovely room, great host, fantastic location! By far the best of every accommodation we looked at before deciding on Mr. McSweeney's Hotel. Not only is it a fantastic value, but Mr.McSweeney and his daughter are great tourist advisors and have a wonderful sense of humor. Would come back in a... More

We stayed here recently and were very surprised by the quality of this hotel. From the outside the hotel doesn't look like anything special, but inside it really is beautiful. Our room was bright and spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed on a Sunday night and only paid 25 euro each, great value for... More

11 of us stayed at the McSweeney Arms hotel in Killarney for one night during our golf trip in July 2012. We were only there for one night on the way from Kinsale to Lahinch so we didn't want to overspend for the room. The rooms were the best price we could find for downtown Killarney. Rooms were very nice... More

Just returned from a weekend trip to Killarney and stayed at the McSweeney Arms Hotel. This not a five star hotel...but it should be! In McSweeney's they do everything right, from the warm welcome, to the spacious rooms, the magnificent breakfast and the friendly bar everything is just how you want it. Granted they don't have a spa, a gym... More

We stayed at McSweeneys in September 2012 and we loved it! It is a cross between a hotel and a bed and breakfast. It is centrally located in the heart of Killarny. The daily breakfast is not to be missed! The eggs were the freshest I ever had. There is a great assortment of fresh fruit and home baked breads.... More

I recently spent a week at this hotel. The photos do not do it justice as it has recently been redecorated. I asked for, and got, a quiet room that was very nicely appointed and where I was most comfortable. The Irish breakfast is amazing (delicious, more than plentiful,anything you could want), the service is excellent, the owners, Tony and... More
