Great location, hotel staff very warm and welcoming, bar staff friendly and enjoyed a few drinks in the evenings with live music. Bedrooms spacious and clean, bathroom spotless, breakfast was cooked fresh to order, plenty of hot and cold selection on offer, i would definitely recommend this hotel.

Tem um pub, com precos acessiveis, boa comida, bebida e shows todos os dias, num ambiente confortável e agradavel. Cafe da manha continental, farto, com opções de menu. Estacionamento público nos fundos do Hotel 1 Euro a hora. Localização excelente, no centro da cidade. Recomendo.

Really enjoyed this hotel especially the live music in the pub nightly. Three ladies were exceptional musicians and singers and showcased perfectly Irish music. Hotel was close to shopping and countless restaurants and parking was great to explore the surrounding countryside.

Classic hotel with kind staff in the perfect location. Short walk to/from the train station. Surrounded by pubs, restaurants, and shopping, with a taxi rank down the street if you need to go farther. As a bonus, it even has a pub (Buckley's) attached. Offering hearty food, live music, and a cozy fire. Absolutely loved staying here.

Wonderful staff and very spacious rooms. Stayed in a triple room (for 3 people) and it was more than big enough. Very warm feeling in this hotel. Breakfast in the morning was really good. Good quality food and you can tell they put their heart into their service. Bathrooms are nice and spacious. I would stay again.

The atmosphere was lovely, the staff was fantastic. My room was facing the street so quite noisy but I’m a heavy sleeper so I was fine. The shower had hair on the floor when I got there and I couldn’t tell if the floor was just old or not quite clean. Overall a fine stay considering the main goal was to go around the ring of Kerry, not to stay in my hotel room! The location was great for nearby eats & pubs too.

It's an old property but very well kept and above all, the staff is great. Asking for an internal room could solve the outside noise issue though the internal sound proofing is not great so have some earplugs if you are a light sleeper. On Saturday evenings and Sundays all day, the public car park is free of charge. Overall great value for money and would stay here again.
