Parking was a bit of a challenge- underground parking area is up the street, and it was full.

I loved that this Hotel was right near the water. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant was awesome. The breakfast was awesome too. The rooms were beautiful and the whole Hotel was lovely. We also had massages while we were here and they were awesome. Unfortunately we did not bring and swimming stuff and were not able to use the pool and hot tubs while we were there. The parking was also convenient.

Beautiful hotel with great dining options on-site. Parking for our car was included and a very short walk down the street. Staff were friendly and helpful. Made use of the on-side pool & sauna facilities. Great location for walking to nearby restaurants/pubs/shops.

The staff deserve a special mention they make this hotel. All of them are extremely helpful and nothing is too much trouble.. Creven in the bar who we saw most days was always smiling and extremely well mannered. Liked ease of parking and leisure facilites the bar and restaurant were also great with sports showing and live music daily. Road noise and a fan like noise in the room even when air conditioning/ heating were off were not good and the hotel can't help this but slamming of room doors early in the morning. We had to keep asking for extra sugar as when room was replenished we only ever had 2 satchets. If you ask at the bar they do provide you wuth this and also fresh milk as I am unable to drink UHT. Breakfast was also vety good with lots of choice.

Parking is across the street in the hotel. Parking area, very tight but free. Excellent hotel room, was very quiet, clean, lots of heat and air conditioning. Breakfast hot and cold was included. Downtown is a minute away to walk around. Front desk lady at check-in On a Tuesday night, Zanda, was great and informative about the surrounding area. I would stay here again, bed was comfy.

Great location on the edge of Bantry downtown, walkable and easy access. Rooms were very nice, clean and modern. Parking is underground (accessed across the street) we found ample space and good access to the hotel. The only issue we had was with breakfast, we choose the room service card on the door and ordered a bowl of oatmeal each. The card was not priced, but when we went to check out the cost with room service ended up being around 50 euros, which was our most expensive breakfast in 3 weeks touring for a bowl of porridge. Buyer beware!

Quite a good hotel, clean and relativity modern. Only negative issues are perhaps the room housekeeping. Silly issues that were sorted quickly by the hotel... perhaps, more attention to detail. Rather small breakfast room....our room did overlook the main road.

The lobby with the open fire and gorgeous decor was very inviting and cosy especially with the weather outside being cold and icy. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable and the staff were all very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely stay and will definitely return when we are next visiting the area. We didnt get a chance to visit the bar or restaurant this time but we are looking forward to trying them in the future. The pool and jacuzzi were also very nice and clean and not too busy.

The Maritime is always an amazing treat to look forward to in Bantry. It has incredible staff, a great standard of cleanliness, amazing amenities, delicious food and within walking distance of Bantry town itself. You’ll enjoy great views of Bantry Bay from your bedroom window. Everybody should have it on their list.

The Maritime had a luxurious feeling about it at a very reasonable cost. The room was very nice and I was cheerfully given a harbor view room upon request, the facilities were clean, staff was friendly and the food was excellent. The breakfast buffet was great with plenty of choices and quality food. Nice bar with a good menu. Conveniently located within close walking distance to downtown, one doesn’t require a car to visit the town. Overall, a top shelf stay.
