Great location, Kenmare is charming, lots of food and drink options...room super clean, but we found the bed to be too hard and no amenities such as shampoo, lotion, tissues or conditioner..those would be welcome additions.

Foleys Hotel was a busy pub and restaurant, with accommodation on first and second floors. A few flights of stairs to both floors. Popular place for dinner and live music. Food was good and breakfast also good. Music can be heard from your room until late, so keep windows closed. Street parking easy. Nice staff.

My first time in Kenmare. The town was great and it was a good call to stay here as opposed to the more touristy town of Killarney. Easy access to the Ring of Kerry, good restaurant and bar at the hotel, live music and rooms were clean. The next time I'm in the area I would stay in this town and this hotel.

Really great place to stay in Kenmare! Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. The staff were really great and we enjoyed the drinks and live music at the bar very much. We got a bit unlucky with our neighbours one of the nights who were loud late into the night.
