    Great location in Kenmare. Rooms were roomy, clean and functional and suprisingly quiet. Breakfast was good. Only two issues: internet access was spotty; street parking was the only real viable option. Would use this hotel again.

    Right in downtown Kenmare, and great live music in the pub! The room was really large for an Irish hotel, plenty of room to spread out. Not the most up-to-date decor, but super clean. Only caution - as with any hotel or B&B over a pub in Ireland - is that it's noisy late at night when everyone stumbles home. If you're a family or need a lot of sleep...stay […] outside of the town's center. If you're the one going to the pubs...like us...you'll love this location. Perfect. Read more

    Cool place in Kenmare - quaint little town perfectly situated for travel to Ring of Kerry, Dingle, and Ring of Beara (skip the Kerry loop). The proprieter and entire staff were extremely nice and made sure we had a great stay (we stayed 3 nights). The Bar/Restaurant is superb - best food in Ireland and beer garden with retractable roof was great also. […] The breakfast was good, hot, fast and they made sure I was taken care of - great place that I will stay again some day. They do not have a lift - but that is common in Ireland. Read more

    We moved around alot in Ireland trying to see as much as possible. This was our most favorite hotel experience. Ireland is famous for its pubs and this one was great-good food, great atmosphere-it helped that Ireland was playing football that evening :) Then, we just walked up stairs and got in bed. The breakfast room is very charming. I highly recommend […] this place and if I return to Ireland it will be on my list of places to stay again! Read more

    We greatly enjoyed Kenmare and O'Donnabhain's is a nice location from which to enjoy the area. The service and people were very friendly and efficient. The breakfast was great and food and music in the pub gives one a big welcome to Ireland. Our only disapointment was that we were given an older room The first thing we saw was a huge stain on the floor […] and coverlet. The bathroom was in dire need of upgrade. Other unoccupied rooms were open and empty and were the same size and set up (great for families) and were nice, new, modern, and clean. I can't help wonder why we were not given one of the nicer rooms when they were clearly available. Read more

    We were disappointed with the disparity between the age of the room we were in and the pictures on the website. Maybe we were in a room that hadn't been redone yet, but it was very old and dated and the bed was extremely uncomfortable. Large, and clean enough, but not what we expected from the website. We got our key from the bartender behind the bar […] downstairs, but never saw anyone related to the hotel and couldn't find anyone to check out with when it was time to leave. We had pre-paid and didn't get breakfast with the room, so this didn't really matter, but was disarming not to ever get a receipt or anything for the stay, or see anyone related to the hotel. Bar downstairs is nice though and you can't beat the location! Read more

    I liked some aspects of this hotel. Great location, the staff was friendly, restaurant was good and had live music, the breakfast was good. However, we had a room with a king (maybe queen) bed which seemed nice till we tried to sleep on it, it was extremely hard and uncomfortable. After a poor nights sleep, I got up to take a shower and it was ice cold. […] Not luke warm, cold. I spoke to the people working, they were friendly and sympathetic but explained that everyone got going at once, breakfast was between 8:30 and 9:30 so it put a demand on the water supply. Suggested shower in the afternoon when people were out. Didn't work for me so I took one cold and one cool shower when I was there. That combined with the uncomfortable bed makes me unable to recommend it. Read more

    What a great time we had. Our dream was to have a base in Ireland that represented the region of southern Republic of Ireland and nearby driving tours. The Kenmare area certainly did that for us. The food was top notch and very well presented. While this all sounds good, the time we had as a valued guest was amazing. We felt that the service and the […] friendly attitude was highly enjoyable and really germaine to Ireland but moreover the O'Donnabhain's staff and family business. Sometimes when you have a sefl guided tour you need to have questions answered and opinions offered as to tours and driving tours. The area is made for tours and the staff is knowledgeable, helpful and willing to stop and take a moment to give you directions. When you have a chance to book a time at O'Donnabhain's do so and take in the true character of the area in a real Bed and Breakfast experience. Finally, we would recommend this establishement to anyone heartily. Read more

    The location was perfect and the rooms were nice & clean. We felt it to be a very good value. It was every bit as charming as it looked on the pic on the internet. We were not disappointed with our first pub stay. Would definitely recommend this place.

    Though the food in the restaurant was very nice, and the room looked nice, it must have been recently flooded- it was musty and smelled like mildew. The bathroom looked recently done and was nice. The furnishings were OK but the lamp was broken and the room was next to a huge airconditioning unit which was very noisy all night long. We could have overlooked […] most everything except the smell and mustyness of the room. It was actually hard to stay in the room.... The back entrance did nothing to promote their guest house. It was full of paint buckets, rags, mops, cans, deliveries, trash cans, etc. It was sad because the front of the building was quite charming. Read more

    This hotel was right in town, with lots of pubs and restaurants near by. The room was big - we had a triple - and the only problem was that the shower water was lukewarm, and never got warmer. the breakfast was really good and we really were happy to be right in town. Kenmare is a cute little town, about 40 minutes from Killarney.

    Most disappointing place i stayed at in the whole country. The room we stayed was next to the alley on the top floor. The room seemed to be what was the old attic and was very warm. The only way to cool the room was by opening the windows and in the alley were 2 dogs that barked all day and night. The website said parking was available but its just […] what you can find on the busy street outside or the free lots which are not near the B&B. Breakfast was the worst of all the places i stayed and the town as a whole left a lot to be desired. Heard this was the best jump off place for the area but seemed to be more of a tourist trap and lacked any intimacy of the culture. Read more

    On a busy main street of Kenmare, the hotel's rooms are all to the rear, meaning that traffic noise in not heard at all. Parking is available to the rear, although we parked on the main street to the front, which was even more convenient. The bar - on the ground floor of the premises, had good beer, with an extensive menu. The food was excellent, and […] the service was tip top - Couldn't fault it really. Also, live entertainment was provided, which was an added bonus. The room we stayed in was spacious, airy and comfortable, although the en-suite door couldn't close properly. All in all, we would highly recommend this guest house / hotel to anyone. It's location is very central, at the foot of the highest mountain range in Ireland, and on a gateway to one of the beautiful bays in south west Ireland Excellent! Read more

    The hotel is above a guesthouse, so you can expect some music and noise in your room till about 11:00 during the week and 12:00 on the weekend. Overall, a great stay with a wonderful breakfast prepared fresh to order. Rooms are clean and fairly spacious. Kenmare is a wonderful place to stay. It is quite touristy, and there are many nice restaurants […] (you need to make reservations). Great location for seeing Ring of Kerry and surrounding area. Awesomw ice cream parlour just a few doors down from hotel. Read more

    O'Donnabhain's is squeezed into a main street packed with interesting shops and eating places, and if you can tear yourself away, there's Kerry, Dingle, Limerick etc. all within a day's drive. The B&B business is run separately from the pub on the 1st and 2nd floors - not quite far enough away for the live music to be inaudible, but not too intrusive. […] We got a larger than expected room with 3 beds, and managed to park on the street outside every evening without difficulty. Service at breakfast could not have been friendlier. Read more

    Stayed here for a two night weekend break. A perfect spot in the heart of the most beautiful town in Ireland. A good nights sleep too despite been above a bar and no hen parties or stag groups stayed here either. Food in the bar was great also.. One gripe was that breakfast finished at 9 30 too early and a dog in a yard nearby nearby barking at any […] nightly noises. Read more
