Easy check in w the bartender. We were on the third floor, which was a quick walk up the stairs, I don’t think there is an elevator / lift, which wasn’t an issue for us. The town is pretty small and the pub/inn is right in the middle of town. We were able to find parking 1 street over. We ended up having dinner in the pub which was decent, not great. We stayed for the live music which was nice. Breakfast is included so we headed down to the pub where coffee, tea and juices are available. They have a limited menu but were very accommodating in making some changes. The service was great - friendly Irish hospitality.

Very large room. Clean and comfortable if a little outdated. Staff were wonderful and it was very quiet even though it’s above a lively pub. Free parking on street was a plus! Would stay here again.

Great choice

Excellent location, breakfast and room size. The beds are starting to show some wear, but it didn’t prevent us sleeping soundly. Yes, I would recommend…especially in off-season which allowed us to find parking in from of the property.

We thought it would be a fun experience to stay above a pub while in Kenmare. And it was! We were right in the heart of the town and it was easy to walk everywhere. Parking was a snap---right on the street. (We were there in October). The music in the pub went until midnight on Saturday, but otherwise it ended at 11:30. Not a problem for us. Room was not fancy, but clean and spacious.
