Love having access to Olympic size pool, dry sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. Hotel is lovely. Quiet, comfortable with large rooms.

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.

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.

We had booked a Superior room through Expedia...when getting to our room it was clean but a bit dated...the bathroom could do with a makeover. Heating was an electric radiator. When we returned to the receptionist she apologised as we'd been placed in a basic room. She reduced the room rate having offered a move. Overall it was handy to Kenmare, 10 minute walk. The staff were lovely.

I stayed one night here on my road trip around the Ring of Kerry, but easily could've spent more time at this hotel. The room was fairly large with a comfortable bed, which I unfortunately spent extra time in after getting a mild bout of food poisoning overnight. The staff was kind about letting me check out a little late, but I did not get to try out their spa as I'd intended. It's an easy walk to the center of Kenmare, where you can find restaurants, pubs, shopping, and activities. Free parking on site. Would stay here again.

Our stay at Kenmare Bay Hotel was pleasant. The staff are very nice. Our room and bath were clean and the bed was comfortable. The breakfast and dinner options are very good. The hotel is within a 3 minute walk from the center of Kenmare, which has numerous restaurants and shops. We did have a problem with the heat. It had been turned off for that room and we had to ask to have it turned back on. The shower drain was not draining properly, consequently standing water accumulated in the bottom of the shower stall. We did mention the issue to the front desk when we checked out. Otherwise we had a nice stay.

The only criticism I have is that I was unable to access the internet from my room.
