Provider-sourced guest reviews.
The hotel was in a very central location. The room was spacious and the bed comfortable.
The toilet dripped continuously and loudly. The shower head had to be held as the fixing was broken. It was clear on the booking that there was a reserved parking space, but there was not one. We had to drive around the town to find somewhere, which was several minutes away. We asked about this and were told that there was no private parking.
Excellent breakfast. Very quiet room. Great location in the center of Kenmare.
The only chair in the room was a single wooden chair.
Friendly staff and lovely clean modern rooms
Nothing
Spacious & well situated to town. Adequately equipped
Nothing
La ville est sympa
Beaucoup trop de bruits des 5h30 du matin plus le bruit du fitness
Characterful Irish pub with great staff in a central location.
Hadn’t expected the live music to go on so late when in a room directly above.
Very good
Dinner was great, breakfast tasty but limited. Good location
No tea or coffee service in the room. Parking limited on the street
Room was spacious as well as the bathroom. Nice breakfast.
Would be nice to have coffee/tea provided in the rooms.
Essen war sehr gut
Unser Zimmer ist renovierungsbedürftig
Well furnished with stove, oven, dishes etc. Had almost everything I needed except a little salt and pepper! Is located just behind the main street, easy to find, parking on the street. Everything about it was great except for the mattress1
Mattress was terrible and if you slept on one side you tended to roll off - really uncomfortable when everything else was GREAT! Also there is a workout studio behind it so thumping music in early am but that's not controllable. Close to restaurants, shops everything.
FUE UNA GRAN ESTANCIA, NO LE DOY LA MEJOR PUNTACION PORQUE NO HAY ASCENSOR EN EL ESTABLECIMIENTO Y SUBIR CON EL EQUIPAJE ES UN ENGORRO. PERO LA HABITACION GRANDE,LIMPIA Y PESE A ESTAR EN EL CENTRO DE LA CIUDAD Y ENCIMA DE UN PUB, NO TUBIMOS PROBLEMAS CON EL SONIDO. CENAMOS EN EL MISMO ESTABLECIMIENTO CON FANTASTICA MUSICA EN VIVO Y TODO ESTABA DELICIOSO, EL DESAYUNO TAMBIEN ESTUVO MUY BIE Y SE SIRVE EN EL MISMO PUB.
TODO PERFECTO, RECOMIENDO Y VOLVERIA A ALOJARME ALLI
Great location. Great breakfast.
L’emplacement et le personnel ainsi que le petit déjeuner
Pas de frigo dans les chambres très bruyant et manque de couvertures dans les lits

Very comfortable, beautiful room. Great location. The staff were helpful. Food was great. Couldn’t get a better location for enjoying Kenmare and surrounding area. We stayed here while enjoying The Ring of Kerry. Was easy to come and go.
Nothing, it was perfect! Comfortable beds!
Chambre confortable,et spacieuse.tres belle salle de bain. Situé dans une rue animée,,au dessus du pub,mais pas de bruit la nuit.possibilites de repas,et musique live le soir. Super petit déjeuner,servi au bar,par un personnel très aimable.
Great authentic old world Irish pub environment. The breakfast was splendid each morning. Ate dinner each evening and the food always very good. Drinks and entertainment pleasurable and fun. It was all good.
La situation est super, le pub en lui-même est génial. Super ambiance super cuisine très bonne et copieuse. Petit dej très bien
Ce pub est super pour y manger et passer une bonne soirée. Malheureusement, malgré les autres avis très positifs sur la propreté des chambres, soit nous sommes mal tombés soit nous n'avons pas tous les mêmes standards d'hygiène ! La chambre n'était pas propre, poussière, saletés, draps tachés, cheveux dans le lit ... Le pub étant bondé ce soir là, nous n'avons rien dit au personnel. Heureusement nous avions nos duvets car impossible de dormir dans des draps tachés. Donc bémol sur notre chambre, mais la partie pub en elle même nous avons adorés, compensant en quelque sorte les désagréments de la chambre !
Wonderful location and an excellent staff
We liked everything
This was one of the nicest rooms we had during our trip. The room was very clean with a spacious bathroom and well-functioning shower. The bed was also particularly comfortable. We did hear some music from the bar below, but it stopped at a reasonable hour and was absolutely a non-issue. Breakfast was lovely and we especially enjoyed our chat with the chef. I would definitely return!
I prefer uncarpeted rooms, but in this case the carpeting was new and clean.
Our room was very luxurious, large, modern and clean, we weren't expecting such a gorgeous room!
The breakfast was good but there could have been more choice.
Great location for a stay in Kenmare- spacious room and a lovely Irish breakfast.
Friendly helpful staff Good breakfast
very large room - 1 double bed and one single bed - very clean. bathroom was also big. location of the premises - very central.
the room was perfect. good location, friendly staff - no issues with the room.
Breakfast delicious. Nicely presented
No tea facilities in bedroom.
Great location if you want to be in the center of things. Very quiet. We didn’t hear anything and had the windows open. Staff was great.
Nothing
Mitten in Kenmare, über einem Pub und trotzden ruhig. Das Zimmer war groß und das Frühstück im Pub gemütlich.
The room was spotlessly clean. The location was perfect. The parking was convenient.
The hard chairs in the bar/ restaurant. The food was ok but the lack of comfort was enough to put us off having dinner there twice.
La stanza è bella, letto favoloso, il pub accogliente, ottima colazione, staff simpatico

No parking No tea and coffee facilities in the room
Location was centrally located.
Parking was difficult but manageable!
The staff was very friendly, making suggestions and recommendations for what to do and where to go. Comfy beds. Great location. The bar/restaurant downstairs and the breakfast was good.
The Internet connectivity was very intermittent. The noise from the bar didn’t bother us at all but early light sleepers would have a problem.
Staff was really friendly and helpfull, the food was good, the location very central, thr room was clean and spacious
little bit pricey for a pub, otherwise nothing
Decent room. Overpriced , in keeping with inflated Irish prices.
Noise from adjacent restaurant extraction was incessant.
Right in centre - food was excellent - evening entertainment good
Could have done with additional shelf in bathroom for toiletries- otherwise all good
Location in town , the Brown bread at breakfast was fabulous, also the chowder , wished I had the recipe . The staff was very friendly..loved this place
It was summer and we need air circulation ..coming from the US a/c is a must , but the bed was comfortable, but needed just a flat sheet to sleep as the duvet was very heavy in the warmth..
Location and cleanliness, bedrooms very modern
Nothing
Nice size rooms with lots of natural light. Very quiet despite being above the pub. Right in the heart of Kenmare.
Location was great. The staff were extremely kind and helpful. The fresh brown bread at breakfast was a winner.
The only negative I have is the room should have had a fan. It was warm in Ireland during our stay and a fan would have been appreciated.
Beautifully appointed rooms, very comfortable beds, spotless, centrally located, excellent breakfast included.
Typical Irish Pub with B&B accommodations with nice breakfast.
The shower does not have enough power and should be changed.
Un petit déjeuner très copieux et varié
Beaucoup de bruit jusqu’à 23 heures
Very clean and spacious room, also really comfortable. It was very quiet despite being above the bar. Also the bar was great, good atmosphere, good drinks. Breakfast was great too!
Posizione, tranquillità nonostante fosse sopra il pub, efficienza dello staff
Central location-traditional Irish entertainment each night -friendly staff well appointed room
The obvious challenge of the remote parking and having to carry luggage from car - limited choices for gluten free breakfast-( actually none!)
Central location, comfortable clean room. Lady at breakfast was very friendly and attentive.
It's not a complaint as I know it's a pub accomodations but bsr and street noice wouldn't suit a young family. We didn't mind it but just something to consider for families. Also there was no mirror in the bedroom, only one was in the ensuite at the wash hand basin. Limited breakfast options (3).
I stayed in the studio apartment on the opposite side of the pub and on the backside of the building so it was actually very quiet. The apartment is small but very modern and clean and a good value for a single person or couple. The room has a "hide-a-bed" coach that was surprisingly comfortable. Private bathroom is small but clean and updated. Kitchen includes oven, stovetop, and small fridge although I didn't use it. I was able to park overnight in a parking lot directly behind the building for free. Restaurants and bars are right outside your door. There are some larger apartments that face the street that may have a different experience.
Nothing. I usually stay in homes a short distance from towns and in this case I enjoyed being within walking distance of everything.
Location
It was grand
Central
N/A
This was the cutest little place and I was so happy we stayed here
I really enjoyed this place
Breakfast was extremely poor quality for the price paid
Food at dinner was below average and in comparison to previous restaurants in the area portions were extremely small. Also no extra option when asked for gluten and dairy free - still delivered veg and potatoes with dairy. Had to ask for alternative and salad was small and mainly lettuce - not good at all.
Big room beds very comfortable
Found gettingbinto bath and out tricky as no hand rail put bath mat down but afraid of slipping trying to get out of bath as shower was in bath
Bien placé avec un restaurant typique et un très bon petit déjeuner , placé au dessus d’un bar mais pas de bruit cependant
Décoration minimaliste
Very quiet given the location and pub below
The requirement to park away from the hotel and carry luggage
Centrally located, friendly helpful staff
Absolutely fantastic 👏
Everything great music staff food etc
Super Lage, nettes Personal, leckeres Frühstück, die Betten sind ein bisschen kurz (1.85cm)
The breakfast both days was delicious. Location in the middle of Kenmare town.
Great staff and service. Would highly recommend.
Jättetrevlig personal, varm atmosfär. Bra frukost med fint urval och en meny med flera varma rätter. Verkligen jättebra. Nystädat och fint rum varje dag. Luftigt och stort rum. Familjärt och även bra restaurang med en beer garden där vi spelade kort om kvällen. Superbra!
Lovely big room 😍
Pints very expensive €7.00 and very flat..
Great location, very good breakfast and lovely friendly staff
Rooms were very warm but everything else was perfect.
Jende atsegina leku polita eta irlandar giroa
We absolutely loved our stay in O Donnabhain's. The location was absolutely perfect and our room overlooked the main street with flowers cascading down from our window sills. The parking was on the street or in a parking lot close to the information center. We had no difficulty locating spaces to park even in the busiest tourist season and everywhere was an easy walk to the hotel. The town is walkable and compact, beautifully clean, lively and full of amazing music in the hotels and pubs. The room was exceptionally clean and spacious with tea and coffee if you wanted in your room. Room was cleaned daily with fresh towels, even though we did not expect this! The bathroom was bright and spacious, very clean and the shower had great pressure with ample hot water. The staff were warm and friendly, especially the chef who also served us breakfast daily. She always greeted us with a beautiful warm smile and the cooked breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed the music in the evening and chatting to the friendly bar tender. All in all a perfect stay.
Absolutely nothing.
De locatie midden in het centrum vlak bij de pub. Heel gezellige wijk met veel pubs en overal muziek en prima eten (diner) bij de pub van de eigenaar. Wij kregen geen kamer boven de pub maar een studio aan de overkant van de straat, geen probleem heel dichtbij. De studio was heel netjes met keuken etc. In feite meer een klein appartement dus.
Bij de boeking stond ontbijt inbegrepen maar dan was niet het geval helaas. Waarom niet kwamen we niet achter. En uitslapen is er niet bij want exact om 7 uur start de sportschool (20 meter afstand) met een gigantische herrie. Zelfs met de ramen potdicht blijf je die goed horen: een lage gebonk op ongeveer 180 bpm!
Location excellent.
the townhouse was dirty it smelled of stale sheets it was loud all day and night. there's a gym right below that cranked techno with a screaming instructor at 6:30am
Een hele sfeervolle pub, met heel vriendelijk personeel en een fantastisch Iers ontbijt. Kamer was heel ruim en nieuw. In het midden van Kenmare. Eten s'avonds was ook geweldig met een goede selectie bier en whiskey.
Brilliant thanks
Excellent location, friendliness of the staff. A great traditional Irish pub
Room had a combined shower over bath, preferred a seperate walk in shower for ease of access.
