Elegant old hotel, high level of service. Breakfasts were wonderful with lots of options. We were on the first floor so view was good but I’m sure upper floors have amazing views.

We had a noise issue, with an old radiator that needed to be bled on occasion or it made a loud jackhammer sound in the wall of our room. Happened twice, once early in the morning. Staff took care of it promptly but it was annoying. But it is a very old place.

Very nice location close to the sea. We could hear the waves from our room. The staff was so welcoming, they really made a difference. Food was very good for dinner and breakfast. I loved the phone in the room, which was a rotary dial phone. I had not seen one of those in ages. Convenient car park. The hotel’s building is not in its best shape and deserves some love. Room and bathroom need some renovation.

But arms is an older property that is in need of a little TLC. The staff is wonderful and nice. They’re very accommodative and helpful. Location is super convenient right in the middle of Waterville with lots of dining options and services surrounding the hotel. Parking is easy and free. But the hotel just needs some work.

We had a pleasant stay at the hotel, the staff were very friendly and the rooms were spacious, clean and comfortable.
However you could tell it had recently reopened and there were a few teething issues - Although the staff were very friendly service could feel awkward and clunky at times. when breakfast arrived the food and coffee were stone cold.
The facilities could do with some improvement- On one evening we went to play pool in the lounge and the table had a tear in it and every cue was broken. For such a large hotel there could be a bit more going on for example an onsite spa.

Overall though we did enjoy our stay and the views are spectacular.

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!

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!

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.

Lovely Hotel

The staff was very friendly and helpful. I ate all means at the hotel, but it could have been better.

Little hot

The only concern is that the hotel is dated, with NO air conditioning is really apparent that having fans would be needed. The meals were first class and delicious, the service was excellent and the view is spectacular!

Excellent social distancing in dining room and bar.
Rooms could have had bottled water and a better tv channel option.

Our new favourite spot!

We came down to Waterville for two nights as my fiancé was competing in the Hardman triathlon - we weren’t looking for anything more than convenience, so the Butler Arms seemed perfect location-wise for us. We really didn’t expect it to be as lovely as it was. We arrived and were greeted at reception by a really lovely lady, who quickly checked us in, and surprised us by telling us they were overbooked on the room type we had booked, so they had upgraded us! We got to our room, and it was honestly gorgeous, we had a floor to ceiling bay window overlooking the sea - it was the most beautiful view. We also had a couch and chairs to sit and look out from. We ate in the restaurant the first night, the service and good was delicious, with our table overlooking the sea - beautiful. Breakfast both mornings was lovely, and again the service great. We really, really loved it there and would recommend to anyone - we will 100% be back! It made our Waterville trip for us!

Great stay and location. Good view of town and ocean with several restaurants and bars nearby. We did not eat dinner here but breakfast was very good.

Waterville Golf Course 2 miles away. Would stay again.

We were just there for an overnight between Kenmare and Dingle, after doing some local sightseeing. Beautiful ocean views, great breakfast, restaurants and bar in the hotel. Great spot! We easily went on to Portmagee for the Skellig Michael trip the next day, 20 minutes drive.

Comfortable stay

Old hotel but rooms are very modern and comfortable to stay in. Restaurant had great food that wasn’t to pricey and the bar had plenty of atmosphere with locals and visiting golfers.
