We loved this hotel as a place to stay in Co Kerry. It’s conveniently located with an easy walk into the city centre. The hotel has great amenities, like a pool and spa, and the staff are very helpful.

The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We particularly enjoyed using the pool before breakfast when it wasn't busy. We felt there wasn't enough social space to sit and have a coffee and chat with other guests. There also seemed to be a problem with the courtyard bar which wasn't open during our stay.

This place was lovely and a quick walk into town. We took in a play at the local theatre and it was the best I’ve seen in ages- laughed all the way through and only 15 euros (Carnegie players). Highly recommend this hotel we loved our stay here.

Quiet stay.

The staff at the desk was kind, helpful and informative. Hotel lobby, halls and room was very clean. The bed was comfortable. The floor in the bathroom was heated. There’s a restaurant, bar, health room and pool on site. They were doing major construction to the entrance of the lobby. Walk to downtown was 5 minutes.
