The Europe Hotel & Resort

Every time I have been to this wonderful hotel I have had a great experience All the staff are so helpful and lovely . I had a wonderful room with a breathtaking view of the lake. The pool and spa were delightful with a salt pool, warm pool and swimming pool.they also have an espa spa were a got a wonderful massage

We went to the Europe for 3 nights for the August bank holiday and had an amazing time. The view of the water from the hotel lobby, bar and restaurants is lovely and so relaxing, the food is fabulous and the staff are so helpful and friendly. We also loved the heated pool that extends outside. We are already planning our next trip back. 10/10 from us

Stunning hotel from start to finish. The Spa is a MUST. Best massage I have ever had. Vanessa was my therapist. Such a fabulous lady and so kind. Excellent food, stunning views and friendly staff, you couldn’t ask for more. Thanks to Matthew for looking after so well. Already planning a return stay.

Beautiful five star stay for three nights at this property. Fabulous five star service from the moment we arrived. We had a beautiful lake room the perfect view, dined in all three restaurants all outstanding and different the perfect resort, world class spa facilities, active level and pools overlooking the lakes. Would highly recommend to all,my favourite hotel for sure. Thank you Europe hotel and resort such a special hotel.

Just home from this wonderful hotel. Check in was quick, efficient and staff were lovely. Our room was ready early which was a bonus. Had lunch in Riva which was divine with big portions and not overpriced. Staff were very good and very friendly. Used the spa for ages and it was fantastic. Everything was amazing and so relaxing. Our room was beautiful, spacious with everything we could want. Balcony looked out at trees but we also had a partial view of the lake. Dinner in the Brasserie was gorgeous served by the lovely Andreea. Staff were so attentive and there was a lovely buzz. No wait for a table either despite being v busy. Breakfast in the Panorama restaurant was fantastic with amazing views of the lake. There was a hot and cold buffet and you could order from a very plentiful menu too. Lovely grounds for a walk if the weather was good. Garden kept immaculate. Loved our stay so much I’ve booked for later in the year. Can’t wait already.

My partner treated me to a one night stay here as we both have never been and always wondered about it. I must say that both of us were blown away with the level of service and the amazing food, the beautifully manicured gardens and the gorgeous views of the Kerry mountains and last but not least, the spa was just unbelievable! Will not be our last time hopefully but really gorgeous hotel and you really feel welcomed and relaxed after your stay!

It was such a wonderful experience staying in the Europe hotel killarney..from the moment we walked in the entrance until we left...everything was so perfect..the staff are so friendly and helpful..the room was perfect and the food was superb..xx

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 of Killarney.
