Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, offering a peaceful setting away from noise. However, accessibility might be an issue for guests with mobility constraints. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff despite a minor incident with one staff member. The location was ideal for exploring the Ring of Kerry and close to town amenities. The dining experience was top-notch with a varied menu. Overall, a great choice for accommodation.
The hotel is conveniently located close to Kenmare town with its great bars and restaurants. The rooms are very standard and could use an upgrade, with poor showers, but the breakfast was excellent, especially with pancakes as an option.
Staying at this hotel in Kenmare for a short visit felt like the right choice due to its decent pricing and overall cleanliness. The spacious rooms were beautifully appointed, although the proximity to the loud bedrooms was a bit of a downside.
The hotel rooms were a bit disappointing with old furnishings that didn't match the online photos, but the staff were friendly and the food was amazing. However, the prompt response to noise disturbance helped improve the stay. The location was excellent for accessing Kenmare.
The hotel is perfect for a one-night stay. The rooms were clean, but lack of air conditioning made them uncomfortable, especially if accessibility is an issue. The service was incredible, and they even offered a lovely gesture for our parents' anniversary. The location is ideal to explore the Ring of Kerry, with a peaceful atmosphere just a stroll away from town.
The hotel is in a lovely location within walking distance of the charming town of Kenmare, offering a great base for exploring the area. The rooms were cosy and spacious but felt a bit outdated. The service was friendly and accommodating, though accessibility could be an issue for those with mobility restrictions.
