Blarney Castle Hotel - Blarney

The hotel staff treated us quite well and it was a very casual environment. They offered us a late check-out since it was raining when we were headed to the castle and would want to change afterwards. The location in regards to Blarney Castle is wonderful and the view out our windows were of a small green area. The facilities are "old" but there was […] certainly a charm about it. Blarney Castle was a 5 minute walk at most. Read more

We arrived late on New Year's Eve and the hotel was really busy but they made time to have someone bring up our bags and show us to our room. We joined in on the festivities and had a great time.

Great location - directly across from the Blarney Castle and Blarney Stone. House is charming and the staff made us feel like family. We had a complimentary breakfast which was fabulous! It is also next door to the Woolen Mills - a shopper's dream! The only downside was the bathroom was a little outdated and the faucet cover fell off. There is not much […] to do at night in the town but there is another restaurant in the town and also, the pub at the hotel (which is really a B&B) was great and welcoming and filled with locals. I would say not good for kids! Read more

Blarney Castle Hotel is a convenient place to stay. We used it as a base of operations for five days while taking day trips to places of interest. Though small and old the staff and ambiance are charming and things like plenty of hot water for the shower and multiple electrical outlets in the room are there. They also have free wi-fi. Our room was large. […] There is a dining room for dinner but we ate in their pub which has a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and is full of locals every night. Many nights there is entertainment. The food was very good and the service exceptional. The staff could not have been more accommodating and helpful with information and directions. The only reservation I would note is that there is not a lift in the hotel so it might be a problem for travellers with a disability that makes it difficult to climb a flight of stairs. As an example of going above and beyond, our group had collected pub glasses during our stay and without thinking left them out in the room. Thinking they were just dirty glasses, the maid picked them up. When we told the desk they found replacement glasses for us and wrapped them for travel for us. When we tried to give them a tip for doing this they would not accept it. I can highly recommend Blarney Castle Hotel if you are looking for a charming, welcoming place to stay. Read more

Great place to stay the night before when visiting Blarney Castle. Get there first thing in the morning to beat the tour busses. Hotel very comfortable and accomodating. Small village with a couple pubs to choose from. Hotel had the best breakfast selectction we had in Ireland!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was a great little hotel with an excellent location. The only problem was it was hard to sleep because below the hotel is a pub and it is extremely loud. From 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. we could not sleep because of the noise of talking outside the hotel.

This hotel's location is perfect if you are planning on visiting the Blarney Castle. Walk out the door, cross the street and you are there. From here, we visited Cobh and Cork. Both are just a short drive from the hotel. The service in this hotel was outstanding. The people were so friendly and helpful. The restaurant in the hotel had delicious food […] with great service and entertainment one night. The bar had music the other night that we stayed. I highly recommend this hotel. Read more

Loved the.Hotel, however, the room was stuffy ( it was warmer than normal while we were there). Our room was above the bar, so there was street nois and pub noise well into the night. The bed had a comforter on it rather than a top sheet, which made sleeping quite warm. We asked for a top sheet the second night and slept better. Pub was great and food […] was tasty. Read more

Walking distance to castle, shopping & pubs. Only don't stay here if you're a light sleeper - music going in pub till 2 am - great people - enjoyed my stay & would stay again.

Every one was extremely helpful. My granddaughter wanted to try Blood Pudding so the cook prepared it for her. Great location if you are going to the Blarney Castle. Very quiet and the town is very cute.

The hotel is small but personality. The people there and around the town were great. The Hotel has an amazing breakfast better then the other Hotels I stayed at in my journey in Ireland. Katia was a great person ti deal with. The shops were great especially The Blarney shop. Great gifts and tge best prices. The Blarney Castle was beautiful. The grounds […] were spectacular. This is not a 5 star hotel but with all I have discribed one of the best stays i had . Cant wait to go back. Read more

Can't imagine how the stay could have been better. Big rooms, great food, top notch sevice. Live music in the Pub in the evening, and mixing with the locals made for a wonderful time. Staff is somehow always there for you, without hovering.

The night we arrived there were two major parties happening in the hotel restaurant downstairs. The first encounter was a dining room of screaming children. The bar is also adjacent to the restaurant on the first floor and was also loud. Our room was one flight up - level 1. The room itself was fine - large in size with fine amenities. We had issues […] with the internet being down and had a frantic hotel staff member try to help us by making us test it out in 4 different areas... to only find out it was down for the entire area. We went out to get some food and walk around. The town square was basically all there is in the tiny town of Blarney who's main attraction is the castle. For a limited trip to see it it may be suitable but when we arrived back at the hotel to retire for the night - the evening got quite worse. Around 9pm a live band started downstairs in the bar/restaurant area. It was so loud that even a flight up where our room was - we could feel the bass vibrating in our bed and the glass lampshade on our overhead light hitting the lightbulb making a constant ticking sound. We thought it may end around 11 or 12am but nope - went on well into the morning and also escalated with chants and singing from the party goers. It was impossible to get a wink of sleep and we had to get up at 7 am to drive back to the airport which was not enjoyable sleep deprived. We asked for a refund and are waiting to hear back. If they don't we definitely don't reccomend staying there. Read more

Excellent location. Also, pub downstairs. Food was great. People extremely friendly. When I complimented on the food and the people running around the answer was " thats the job"

This was a honeymoon vacation, and we stayed just one night. The staff was very friendly, very helpful and made certain my wife and I were comfortable. This hotel is a 30 second walk to the Blarney Castle. I would stay here again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Excellent! Friendly staff. Evenings in the pub and restaurant were very entertaining.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Staff was very accommodating, friendly, & helpful. Facility is older, so lacking in some of the "modern amenities", but still neat and clean. Soundproofing is somewhat of an issue due to age of building, but we were not overly disturbed. There is no elevator, but staff carried our bags to the 3rd floor. Location is in walking distance to Blarney Castle […] and shopping, but off-street hotel parking was tight. Irish entertainment is provided some evenings, which was a lot of fun! This hotel fit our requirements for price and location. We would stay there again. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The Blarney Castle Hotel offers wonderful, spacious, clean, comfortable rooms plus a great bar and choice of restaurants with good food. The service is wonderfully friendly. The only problems we had were related to an early start back to Dublin... The breakfast doesn't start until 8AM, and the front desk was not manned when we went down to check out […] (which they failed to mention). Also, after 10PM, phone calls to the front desk or operator go unanswered. But, keeping this in mind... it is a great choice and a good value. Read more

During or trip to Ireland, we never stayed in a hotel more than one night... Blarney Castle Hotel was where we stayed the second night of our journey. It was such a delightful room with a fabulous view of Blarney Castle. We enjoyed the pub downstairs which featured a live band and savored the amazing breakfast in the hotel's restaurant prior to our […] departure. During our flight home, my husband ask me what part of the trip was my favorite and I told him our time spent in Blarney! Read more

We spent one night at Blarney Castle hotel and had a blast! The room was very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Declan and Connie were awesome and made our stay very personal. We were sad to leave and wished that we had booked another night! Maria's leak and bacon soup was AWESOME!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Four of us spent 14 days traveling around the United Kingdom and Ireland. This hotel was by far the most comfortable that we stayed in. The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff most accommodating and there wasn't a request that wasn't handled with swift and competent ease. The rooms were large and comfortable. If you have any concerns about the hotel […] not having an elevator put them aside. The staff had our bags in our rooms before we finished checking in and when we came down to check-out they were there immediately to bring the bags down. All four of us agreed this hotel was wonderful. Read more

Lovely rooms, friendly staff and good location. Restaurant and bar on-site. Most of the locals choose this hotel over the other 4 or so in the small town because of the quality food and personable staff.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blarney castle hotel. From the moment Ian greeted us upon arrival to when we left, we found we had arrived in one of the friendliest places ever! Staff went out of their way to introduce themselves and ask if they could be of any assistance. In fact all the staff were outstanding. We were given a room upgrade with a great […] view overlooking the village green, and it was extremely spacious and well equipped. Breakfast was fantastic and Michelle in the breakfast room couldn't have been more charming. One of the highlights of our stay was listening to the Irish music downstairs on Tuesday night. The atmosphere was incredible and the the music just delightful. And then to top it all off, we had an Irish dance performed just for us! (thank you Sheila for organising that for us). Just magic! Our stay just wasn't long enough, and already I yearn to return! Read more

Everybody at the Blarney Castle Hotel was amazing. Especially Ian the owner manager, He went out of his way to make us feel at home and show us real Irish hospitality, The pub downstairs is where the locals all go and they have many traditional Irish music nights every night, the locals were very friendly to us as well. The breakfast in the mornings […] was great as well with lots to choose from, my wife doesn't eat meat and there were many options for here as well. I would highly recommend this hotel to any one that wants to be close to Cork City but still get the feeling of staying in a small town in Ireland. Read more

A very friendly staff, good interiors and rooms. Excellent food and service. Very close to all the sights. Easy to get to. Negative points: awkward parking spaces, but we managed somehow! One of the housewines we wanted was (disappointingly) not available, but there was a reasonable substitute. All in all, it was a very good hotel and good value!

The Blarney Castle Hotel was just great ! Irish hospitality at its best. Staff were so friendly and helpful - we felt as though they actually cared that we were there - unlike some places we've stayed. Breakfast was excellent.

Just one point - the music from […] the bar went on until 2 am one night but it was Bank Holiday and the locals were having a good time so live and let live ! Read more

Great location -- staff was friendly and welcoming. It was very nice having the pub within the hotel. Food was really good...had the hake with a Bullmer. Only complaint was the room was a bit cold -- not terribly bad. But during the summer that would be welcome. Would definitely stay again!

The location was in the centre of town, a very short walk from Blarney Castle. The front reception staff were so polite and helpful. The room was old and average. The TV was small and old. All furnishing were old. At breakfast you could only pick one meal from a selection. The dishes we chose were great. There's a pub attached to the hotel and they […] served great meals. Not bad for a low star rated hotel. Read more

Nice old hotel. The room we had, had been refurbished very clean and good value for money. Friendly staff. Enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast. Bit difficult lugging suitcases up to the floor level we were on as there were no lifts. We found that the hotel was difficult to find.
