Top Kenmare Hotel Reviews

Sheen Falls Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Sheen Falls Lodge is a reminder of everything the hotel industry has taken away from us in order to maximize profits for themselves, quality service, helpful and friendly staff, daily cleaning service without fuss, nightly turn down service, free snacks and mini bar. Honestly, this hotel sets the bar for all hotels around the world. Not only is it beautiful and full of activities *horse riding, archery, axe throwing, fishing, hiking, etc) but the service and food is incredible. Everyone needs to stay at Sheen Falls Lodge at least once in their lives, they are the standard bearer for all hotels."

Killarney Heights Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Super cute hotel. Only two issues we had (which weren't huge deals - and not the hotel's fault) is that it's not really on a bus route, and overnight construction meant our uber rides back to the hotel were a little bit longer. The hotel itself was great though."

The Lake Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"Great location"

Hotel Killarney

10/10 Excellent

"Comfortable bed and nice room."

Killarney Plaza Hotel and Spa

"Excellent location for us!"

Foley's Kenmare
