Butler Arms Hotel

We dropped in here for a brief break while driving part of the Ring of Kerry as my grandfather knew Charlie Chaplin and we had heard he stayed here on several occasions. We ordered tea and scones. The staff sat us in a beautifully furnished living room overlooking the bay. The scones with butter and strawberry jam and the proper clotted cream were absolutely the BEST scones I have ever tasted! The tea was good too - nice and hot. The whole hotel was full of old world charm and the staff very attentive. Next time we would love to actually stay here! In the meantime the memory of those scones lingers!!

Stayed there last night with my partner. The bed and the pillows were comfortable, shower was good, overall the room was cleaned but there were few stains in the carpet (I guess it’s just old). There was a very old hair dryer that didn’t work very well. The bar and the restaurant were nice. We had dinner at the hotel, my starter was lovely, however the main course was not good ( I had the seafood chowder, it was just a tomato soup with 2 little pieces of salmon. Breakfast was disappointing. My partner and I travel a lot around Ireland, we have stayed in other 4 starts hotels that were absolutely amazing for a little less price, so when he paid 250 euros for a double room, our expectation were high. I would not complain if the price was lower, it’s just not worth 250 euros.

I have stayed there several times in the past on golf trip. We were doing a trip throughout southwestern Ireland. The location is great (right in Waterville). Hotel was a little more tired than I remember. The night was hot and there was no fan and the windows did not open very much

The Butler Arms is the perfect combination of old world charm and elegance with modern fixtures, furnishings, and food! We stayed there for two nights in a suite that overlooked the bay. Originally we had booked only one night, but soon after seeing the room and the view, we had to book another. We were treated like old friends from the pleasant staff. Thank you to specifically Javier at reception who was amazing—even on his first day! Breakfast was included and incredible—much more elevated than the “full Irish” you may find at other places. Go, spend a little extra and book the suite. You won’t regret it.

We had a fab day playing Waterville golf course followed up by a great night in the butler arms hotel . Such friendly staff and beautiful rooms. I love the sea view, the hotel is spotless really comfy. ||Excellent reception staff helpful and knowledgeable about the area.

The Butler Arms is well located in the Waterville waterfront. The hotel and rooms was beautifully decorated. The attached bar offered great food and drinks at reasonable prices. The breakfast menu was extensive and the food delicious. Highly recommended.

Excellent rooms with beautiful view of the water. Friendly staff and all around great stay. Highly recommend!

We had stay at this awesome hotel during our honeymoon trip. Rooms are very tidy, clean and well equipped. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Dinner at Fishermen’s was good. We asked them about Halal Vegan food and they managed to provide us up to our demand. Highly appreciated gesture 👍👍 Breakfast chef at Charlie’s Restaurant was very welcoming. Breakfast’s taste was awesome. Overall experience was very good. We will also give reviews at our YouTube handle @DocOnTrail.
