Everything was great! Room was tidy, staff was friendly, and the location was perfect!

Michelle United States of America

all good to great. except NO LIFT. so luggage is on your own up one or two flights. otherwise highly recommend on location staff room value.

Christopher United States of America

We absolutely loved the location. The staff was so helpful and gave additional points of interest for our trip especially as we were heading from Kinsale to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Our room was on the top floor and had an amazing view of the moon and the bay. Kitty O'se's next door had the best Irish music we saw on our 12-day trip

Dennis United States of America

Very cute hotel. The staff was amazing. Very centrally located. While checking in they informed me of live music happening in the town. The room was comfortable and clean.

Cassie United States of America

Upon checkout, the lady (I wish I could tell you her name) was so helpful with the rest of my travel plans in Ireland.

James United States of America

The entire staff was so helpful, friendly and accommodating.

Patricia United States of America

Rooms are great size, super comfy bed, extremely good pillows - which I overheard another guest say too Breakfast - wow 10/10 One particular dark haired waitress is the star of the show & made you feel like absolute royalty honestly.

Anonymous Ireland
