    Unfortunately we had water dripping through our ceiling. Apparently a problem with the plumbing in the room above.

    The central location in town was nice and the staff couldn't have been nicer!

    Whilst this was not an issue for us, there is no lift in this property so access to the rooms requires climbing two flights of stairs.

    This is a great place to stay whilst in this lovely Kerry town. O'Donnabhain's is right at the heart of the town and offers a bar and restaurant as well as the accommodation. The rooms in this place are huge and most have more than one bed - ours had a double and two singles and there was still plenty of space. The rooms are also very quiet, with no noise from the busy bar downstairs.

    The pipes were quite audible, actually woke me up (but I’m a fairly light sleeper!)

    Super friendly staff, able to accommodate a later check-in and the restaurant stayed open for us. Delicious food and drinks. Also recommended another bar as they were closing!

    The hairdryer in the bathroom is very weak and it would take forever to dry your hair with it. |However, this is a minor problem.

    A great place to stay. Its right in the heart of town. There is a pub downstairs with great music. The bedroom was spacious and had everything we needed.

    I am travelling in my own. I walked in to Donnabhains for a meal the night before. I was shown to a table right at the very very back with no prospect of speaking to anyone. I waited but no one came with a menu or to take a drink order. In the minutes that I waited I decided to go elsewhere . I am sure it would have all been lovely but a combination of factors moved me on. I found somewhere with live music and chatted to some locals which I thoroughly enjoyed!!

    The location was AMAZING!! For a very busy street , the rooms out the back were sooooo quiet! Perfect!! Very very spacious huge room. Lovely cosy colours. Very happy. Could walk straight to the shops outside as well as the stone circle and wee bridge all within easy reach. Breakfast was to a great standard . I chose the poached eggs which were done to perfection & came with good old Irish soda bread and mushrooms & tomatoes too. So much to choose from in addition and I had a window seat looking onto the street too. Some great books in the breakfast area about Ireland . I thought I'd booked a single room but when I was shown to my room it was a double. Happy bunny!!!!!

    Rooms were a bit cold during the night but wasn't a big issue. Evening barmen could lighten up a bit lose the attitude.

    Rooms were big and bed was comfortable. Place was right in the middle of town. Parking out the back of the property also. Would stay again.
