This place was lovely and a quick walk into town. We took in a play at the local theatre and it was the best I’ve seen in ages- laughed all the way through and only 15 euros (Carnegie players). Highly recommend this hotel we loved our stay here.

Quiet stay.

The staff at the desk was kind, helpful and informative. Hotel lobby, halls and room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The floor in the bathroom was heated. There’s a restaurant, bar, health room and pool on site. They were doing major construction to the entrance of the lobby. Walk to downtown was 5 minutes.

Our stay at Kenmare Bay Hotel was pleasant. The staff are very nice. Our room and bath were clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast and dinner options are very good. The hotel is within a 3 minute walk from the center of Kenmare, which has numerous restaurants and shops. We did have a problem with the heat. It had been turned off for that room and we had to ask to have it turned back on. The shower drain was not draining properly, consequently standing water accumulated in the bottom of the shower stall. We did mention the issue to the front desk when we checked out. Otherwise we had a nice stay.

We had booked a Superior room through Expedia...when getting to our room it was clean but a bit dated...the bathroom could do with a makeover. Heating was an electric radiator. When we returned to the receptionist she apologised as we'd been placed in a basic room. She reduced the room rate having offered a move. Overall it was handy to Kenmare, 10 minute walk. The staff were lovely.
