Friendly welcome. Due to previous customers some facilities were in a poor state. Explanation of dining options - no food available on site, but option to order in (or fetch from takeaway) and consume in Hotel Bar while having a pint.

Fennessy's is an old hotel in need of some work...the cost of my stay was reflected in the price. It was cheap and cheerful. It certainly has character but it's not the Hilton. What it lacked in beauty it made up from the friendliness of the staff and the breakfast was pretty decent. The staff are I thinking making the best of a very average situation. So I have no real complaints. The Hotel Manager is pretty cool. I liked her manner and nature. :-) Room was clean and comfortable but it's also difficult maintaining an aging building that hasn't had a 'touch-up' in quite a while. It wouldn't stop me booking again as I know what I'm getting.....some less endearing hostels actually cost more so I've no complaints about the price.

Je ne déconseillerai cet hôtel que pour une bonne et simple raison : les issues de secours sont condamnées. Ce qui fait qu'en cas d'incendie on est pris au piège. Sans compter que la propreté de la literie laisse à désirer et il y a des moisissures dans la douche

I actually enjoyed it, but it’s old fashioned and they need to upgrade door locks and put extract fans in the en suite. Saved me driving to Dublin that night. The breakfast was first rate, cooked fresh, not like the cremated sausages I got other places on this trip. Staff friendly. Look, it’s old fashioned from the Heinrich Böll era 1950s, damp smell in otherwise clean en suite. Good value but they need to upgrade a bit, door locks barely close, not very secure. Could be noisy if a noisy crowd arrived. No lift. It’s a glorified B&B. But I’d stay again if travelling on my own and had enough driving for the day. Parking on street outside door in city centre was a plus.

Loved the stay, super friendly staff and the breakfast was so nice! Sadly though there was what looked to be drops of blood stains on the sheets which was unpleasant as well as lack of hair dryer in one of our rooms. For the price though the stay was fantastic and in a lovely area even if finding parking was a hassle. Really chatty staff, generally nice rooms and great breakfast :)

In the heart of downtown, with it being walkable to things close by. It was central to Mahon Falls and Rock of Cashel. I messaged the property ahead of time that I would have a late check in. I didn't get a response. I did catch the girl at the desk and they were able to get things worked out for me. The two negatives were the lack of hot water and soap in the room.
