The Europe Hotel & Resort

Excellence Personified Had a fantastic meal in the Bistro All three courses were excellent and surpassed our high expectations. Service was the best we have received for a long time. Excellent food served and prepared by a team who care about their results.

Hotel is still lovely, new rooms are beautifully done. Beds and pillows are gorgeous. The only area that lets the hotel down is the fact that the reception looks untidy because it’s used as a conference advice centre, it’s very unprofessional looking. The food in the bistro is poor and not up to the standard elsewhere in the hotel. The breakfast is fabulous and leisure areas are beautiful. Overall it’s a lovely place to stay but if you’re a foodie maybe eat out.

So if we people ask us...what is the one thing you wish to change about your trip to Ireland? Unequivocally it would be that we did not spend enough time at the Europe! I have traveled to a lot of lovely places around the world. Stayed at wonderful resorts and hotels. I have to say, my husband and I and our traveling companions are unanimous in saying this was our favorite hotel of our trip. Everything....room size (get the lake view room) , amenities, view (!), food, vibe, location...ALL 5 star. Absolutely wonderful. Bed was comfortable, air conditioning (you could not hear a whisper when it was on), bathroom (so spacious and with a rain and hand held shower and plenty of soap/shampoo/body wash), room service (at our room in 20 minutes even at peak times), bell hop (so pleasant, from South of France) . Views!!! Did I mention the VIEW! Gorgeous. Buffet breakfast (with panoramic lake view) , wonderful AND all staff very helpful pleasant and professional. Great place to use as a base to all those lovely spots in Dingle, etc...We WILL be back!

This resort surpasses all expectations, from arrival with the concierge and reception team welcome. The ability of the Management team to listen both in advance and in the hotel to what will make your stay extra special We loved Riva the flat bread at lunch and pizza for dinner make a great option for casual dining while overlooking the lakes of Killarney The Spa has the best massage, therapy indoor/outdoor pool and chill zone Rooms with Lake view and balcony are perfect for aperitif and have everything you need and more Everywhere is spotless, everyone friendly and polite. Great breakfast and eating options When you arrive allow time to stand in the lobby and realise you’re in God’s country We will be back, thank you all great team effort.

Having stayed here for more than 10 years, we were looking forward to our stay in great anticipation. Having arrived we discovered that the lobby has been taken over by an American tour party - fine these things happen but the flip charts and info tables complete with printers and phones etc are not really the welcoming signs we’re used too from the Europe. Thought this was a one off but during our stay there were two more such parties of these American financial advisers reward trips - and were advised by the bar staff there were more booked in. Housekeeping didn’t leave enough towels for room residents - and had to chase these. One day they forgot to restock toilet rolls! Decided one night to go for dinner in the riva restaurant - only to be told at the entrance that it was closed. All dressed up and no where to go - as the wait in the brasserie was over an hour. It was strange this coincided with the large arrival dinner for the American financial advisers. All in all a slightly disappointing trip. Standards are slipping slowly at the hotel and you can certainly see where costs are being cut. However checking out prices for next year we are horrified to discover our stay would be significantly dearer. This disappoints me in that this hotel is lovely the staff are fabulous and we have such good memories of lovely family times staying here.
