I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious, clean, and the bed was incredibly comfortable. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, which made for a pleasant experience. On the downside, I did notice some noise from neighboring rooms, which was a bit bothersome at times. Overall, it was good value for the money, especially with the decent amenities.

The hotel has a super location, just a short walk to the center of Kenmare, which I really appreciated. The rooms, however, could use some attention, as mine was in disrepair and not very clean. On the brighter side, the staff was friendly and helpful, but I did notice one staff member being a bit harsh with others. Breakfast was decent but on the expensive side given the quality. Overall, it has its perks but definitely needs some improvements.

My room was not in great shape; it had dirty walls and a freezing temperature in the evening, which wasn't ideal for comfort. It did have a nice shower, but there were several maintenance issues.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right by the charming town of Kenmare. While the staff was mostly friendly, I did encounter some rudeness which was disappointing. The rooms were quite outdated and uncomfortable, and the dining experience left a lot to be desired, particularly with the breakfast options. Overall, it could be a great spot with the right improvements.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which was clean and well laid out, though the rooms were a bit on the small side and the bed felt quite high. The service was attentive and friendly, making my visit enjoyable. The location is excellent as it's just a short walk to the heart of Kenmare. However, the dining experience left something to be desired, with a need for more variety. Overall, it's a solid place to stay with good value for money.

The hotel is located in a lovely area that’s just a short walk from the center of Kenmare, making it convenient for exploring. The rooms, while comfortable, were a bit dated and overpriced for what they offered. I experienced excellent service from the staff who were always friendly and accommodating. However, the dining options were limited and the bar didn’t have the best atmosphere.

Rooms

The rooms were comfortable but felt overpriced for their average quality. Also, I was in a different building from the main hotel which was a bit inconvenient.

The location is excellent, just a short walk from Kenmare town, although my room was quite far from the reception, which made things a bit tricky at times.

Dining options were a bit lacking, with a limited breakfast that ended at 10 am even on weekends. The bar didn’t open until 5 pm and lacked atmosphere.

The facilities were average overall, and the noise from a wedding on my last night complicated my stay.
