The Climbers Inn

We arrived late but the bartender was very kind about checking us in and making sure we had some food. I really appreciate that he went above and beyond.

Well located to access hikes in the Reeks. Lively bar and friendly staff

The rooms were reasonably clean and comfortable. The bar had really good food for dinner. Breakfast was also good.

This property consists of a few rooms above a pub. The rooms and generally clean, cozy and fairly quiet. A good option to stay in the area for the night

Sauberkeit war eher so naja. Das Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig und rochen seltsam. Die Fassade der Unterkunft erinnert an eine Absteige oder heruntergekommene Bar. Frühstück war für den Preis eine Frechheit. Es gab Toast, Obstsalat und Butter. Dazu noch eine Sorte aufgeschnittenen Käse und ungenießbarer Schinken. Wer mehr möchte muss 10€ p.P. zuzahlen und bekommt ein schlecht schmeckendes englisches Frühstück. Diese Eindrücke wurden von allen anderen Gästen bestätigt. Für 200 Euro pro Nacht definitiv nicht wert.

Friendly service and great food although the place good do with a bit of refurbishment

Great hotel and restaurant.

Lady in charge june top class people person Best host.

We were a group of 8 who arrived late and left early. We used a variety of different rooms (dorm, 2 person rooms, apartment) and it was all good - a very welcome night's sleep after 2 days in the bus. Was also great to be able to use the kitchen for simple things (boiling water / making toast) outside of normal meal hours. Thank you Climbers' Inn :)

Auberge de montagne rustique et sympathique. Restaurant simple mais bon.

The food is delicious, but quite expensive. Small room Bath gel dispenser was broken and the shower tap cannot be adjusted

The climbers inn is nicely located. My room had a few problems shower not working properly & TV had no volume for some reason and after trying unsuccessfully for a night decided wasn't worth the stress of button pressing. Breakfast is very prompt need to be in at 8:30 to fet a cooked one.

I spent a night at the Climbers Inn (in the dormitory) while walking the Kerry Way. I had a great time there. I met some nice and interesting people. The food i had for diner for great. And I really enjoy the breakfast in the morning before going to the next part of my hike.

Awesome out of the way place. Perfect for my wife and I. Nice dinner and breakfast with friendly, helpful staff.

The pub had some of the friendliest people around. Shared the true Irish experience with us. What a blast.

Just the essentials. A no frills experience.

Uniqueness and location. Convenience of the pub in the first floor was nice after hours of sightseeing. Used it as a hub for the ring of Kerry.

estancia muy agradable con todo lo necesario para pasar una noche en ruta. La chica que nos atendió y nos enseño la habitacion hablaba algo de español y fue muy agradable con nosotros. El alojamiento dispone de taberna donde tomar algo en un entorno realmente acogedor, muy irlandes. El desayuno bien. Muy recomendable aunque algo retirado. Repetiríamos sin duda.

Very nice spot

Disappointed there was no fridge or tea and coffee making facilities available in the room.

Difficult to reach location as it’s in a beautiful area of Glencar, a tiny village up the mountains. Staff were exceptionally warm and friendly and went above and beyond.

Very quiet, good facilities, food is good, bar and restaurant on the premises, located in the middle of the hills in the middle of the Ring of Kerry.

On Day 2 of the Kerry Way out of Kilarney, I think this is only one of two places to stay. The rooms are fine and the pub underneath is good/fun (as is the breakfast). I'm primarily writing because the staff was so helpful to me and my wife after an injury at the end of the day's hike. My wife injured her arm from a fall (we later found out it was broken) about 5 in the afternoon on a Friday. There are no real emergency services near Glencar. The staff organized us a taxi to get back to Kilarney (where we picked up our car and proceeded to Tralee Emergency room). They made sure we could back into our room in the middle of the night (2 a.m. return from hospital), and gave us extra time in the morning to sleep in and get our act together. They truly helped us during a very stressful 24 hours.

It was ok due to how close it is from many points of interest.

spectacular location, close to hiking routes, friendly staff

Easy to find with friendly staff, the room was very clean with an amazing view and is only a short journey to the mountains. Made it back for dinner and the food is delicious with plenty of choice. Will be back to explore the area as I only stayed for one night. Thank you for a great visit

Excellent two bedroom flat with great bar and restaurant below . Good mixture of locals and climbers . We even met three local moth men searching for rare moths ! Great location for climbing the Reeks and walking Kerry way . Guinness great and we had great steak sarnies and lamb .

Internet service was not working. Poor air circulation in room made it hot.

Die Unterkunft ist sehr abgelegen. Wenn man die Umgebung drum herum anschauen möchte perfekt. Man braucht definitiv ein Auto und sollte vorsichtig fahren da die Straßen es schon ihn doch haben. Das Hotel hat auch eigenen kleinen Shop falls man abends was knabbern möchte ☺️👍

Owners were amazing and friendly. I left my purse and they found it and held it in the safe for me u til I got back. The drive to and from the hotel amazing but drive slowly lol. Overall the hotel was a wonderful Ireland experience

Perfect location for the mountains and countryside and the Ring of Kerry and a good location to pitch yourself for the area.

Perfect location if your doing Carratounill and want a good location to pitch yourself for the area.

Spent 2 nights at Climbers Inn. The inn is in a stunning location in the mountains. The inn is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location will not appeal to everyone as it is deep in the mountains away from any major cities or towns.

Served its purpose of a quick overnight stay. Staff was friendly and helpful. Room was average. Seems like a good place for hikers. Shower head sprayed sideways which we tightened a bit.

Great for access to the Kerry Highlands. Friendly attentive staff, great little shop, lots of parking. The bar gets lively on the weekends (End of Apr 24) but you can't hear it from the accommodation. Good food menu & well set up for camper vans too. Would recommend.

The room doesn't look like the pictures from expedia or the website of the climbers inn. It is less than basic. Small rooms, a lot of dust. Things were growing form the airco in the shower. The coffee and continetal breakfast were very simple. Only the dinner was good enough!

Comfy, grateful for their service.

Excellent location and friendly staff

Easier to find them expected as our GPS won't accept Irish Post Codes and places never give street number or name . So we put Glencar in and it's The Climbers Inn. Lovely room. Good continental breakfast. Really enjoyed our meal in the hotel well prepared and excellent taste. David the barman was very helpful. Met up with other international travellers and have a hiker a 60km car ride to save them trying to walk the trail in a storm.

Very comfortable and welcoming. Good evening meal at a reasonable price.

Friendly staff, welcoming pub on a rainy day

Most lovely place to stay after a beautiful walk. The team off the climbers inn knows how to make you feel good: warm welcome, lovely smiles, nice room with a good hot shower, authentic pub with strong food, adorable shop and PO... Just the place to be while walking the Kerry Way. The walk from Black Valley can be very difficult (we just walked from Bridia and I would recommend that), especially when it rains, the people off the Climbers Inn know that and they will take care off you. We just loved this place.

The place takes a bit of time to get to, as it is not on a major road, but the ride in is spectacular. Once you arrive, there is ample parking across the street and the people are real, and agreeable to chat, inform, or leave you to yourself. The prices are more than fair and they pour a handsome pint. The decor has a warm patina to it communicating it is clearly not a typical tourist trap.

We had a busted tire in the Ring of Kerry and were unable to make it to our original planned hotel in Galway that night. The climbers Hotel was a special surprise. Very peaceful, fresh air on top of the mountain, friendly staff, adorable pub attached to it. This was my kids favorite hotel of our trip!

We enjoyed our stay at Climbers Inn. The rooms were a little tight for 4 tall adults but the beds were comfortable, the shower was hot and it was perfect for one night. Lost one star for absence of wifi in the guest room. It is in the restaurant and lobby. Sons enjoyed the bar. Dinner was delicious. Went for a hike and enjoyed it. Continental breakfast was outstanding. Long, winding, scary drive to get there but would stay here again.

Nice family-like hotel and bar/restaurant with full scale of accommodation from camping to individual family room in the middle of nature. New construction, but shower basin cleanliness/conctruction could be more up-to-date

The drive to this hotel was precarious, at best, but once we arrived everything fell into place. Off the beaten path. Wanted to experience different places to stay in Ireland and this was unique.Family room was a little tight for four adults but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. Totally quiet, except for the donkey braying all night, but we enjoyed listening to her. Enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub. Friendly servers. Breakfast provided was continental, yet filling. You could have ordered a hot breakfast. We didn’t. The only downside was no wifi in the guest rooms but we had media downloaded in advance and brought books. Little else to entertain you there but the solitude was a nice change of pace.

Remote location with slow difficult driving. Small room with no bed lighting and little storage space.

Lovely people and good food

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are hiking in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful, there is a restaurant and bar onsite that is frequented by the locals, and they have a store for all your hiking/camping food and toiletry needs. And there's a full breakfast avilable in the morning. And they'll even pack you a sandwich for the hike! Seriously, if you need anything just ask and they can probably help!

Tolle Lage für Wanderer. Serice und Seriosität,:naja, geht so.

Relaxing, friendl very clean very good shower, good food in restaurant. Continental breakfast, quite good, lovely fruit salad. Good service at breakfast.

Pulito, camera funzionale, bagno con doccia ottima X chi vuole fare trekking è in ottima posizione

there was no real bedside licker ,or lamps In the room Beds were very small En suite was really good The only lamp b style light in the room was up at the ceiling You had to stand on the bed to turn it on Margaret

Climbers inn is situated beautifully, with all basic amenities available. Unpretentious. Wonderfully free of Ring-of-Kerry bus tourists. Very nice atmosphere in the bar/restaurant.

Stayed for two nights as part of package with Kerry Climbing . Mary and her family could not do enough to make my stay more welcoming. Food was great especially the Irish Breakfasts.Room was comfortable and quiet for good night's sleep.The Guinness was great.Well worth a visit.

After a difficult grind on a wet day through the Black Valley the Climbers Inn was an oasis to recover. The staff could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The food portions were huge and welcome after the tough slog. The room was clean and comfortable. Highly recommended. Thanks for a great night stay.

Excellent stay. Check in was easy. Room was clean and staff was very friendly. The breakfast in the morning was very good.

Lovely owners, great location for ring of Kerry, everyone was very friendly

Loved my stay here. Very welcoming people. I was called by my name from moment I arrived felt right at home. Had food in the bar lunch & dinner both really good. Plenty of chaty locals in the bar ,pints where good . Room was really clean & modern ,bed comfy. Great cooked breakfast by staff with a smile can't be beaten. Only downside I wasn't there for another day.

Beautiful rugged countryside in the middle of mountains

Lovely place home away from home and a lovely breakfast to start the day

Awesome place to stop after your climb! Super friendly and even had a little store next door. Also had a post office, a hostel, a pool table. Close to all the hikes. Go for a celebratory beer! Would definitely go back! Beautiful views here, as well

It's rare nowadays to find a truly authentic Irish country pub with a good atmosphere and a really genuine warm welcome - but that's exactly what you get at The Climbers Inn!! Only stayed one night though - warm welcome - good food - great drink - good local crowd in watching the county semi-final created a genuine atmosphere - rooms were spotless and the showers were very good and just what we needed to refresh after a long day in the mountains. Breakfast was excellent. Great value Highly recommended

The hike from Black Valley to Glencar can be tough, especially when the weather is not ideal. The Climbers Inn is located on the Kerry Way, and offers dinner, breakfast, and comfortable rooms with a hot shower. There is a small shop for supplies, a pub and post office. We slept here in august 2022 when hiking the Kerry Way, and were happy with the cold pints of Guinness and the very tasty (and large) breakfast after a good nights rest.

Stayed in the climbers Inn as had travelled down to hike the Coomloughra Horseshoe. You receive a true Irish welcome and nothing is too much trouble for the ladies who look after you. Food was fab and very quickly served. Rooms were very nicely decorated and clean. Bathroom was clean and the shower was amazing, great pressure and unlimited hot water. Tv in the room and adequate place for clothing. Would most definitely stay here again.

Stayed here after my granddaughters christening. Rooms are lovely and comfortable… staff are just so friendly and welcoming… breakfast was fab too and the POT of coffee was so welcomed by me on the Sunday morning after the night before… highly recommended will stay again

We have just completed a fundraising climb of Carrauntohill and stayed in the Climbers inn for 2 nights. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay there. The staff and owners are very genuine people. The rooms are very comfortable, the food is excellent and the place has a real atmosphere about it. Plus the Guinness is superb. I can't recommend this place highly enough. Well done all at the Climbers inn.

Stayed with 3 friends. Good choice of food given it wasnt peak season. Staff very friendly. Rooms were nice and clean. Shower powerful with loads of hot water. Nice full Irish with loads of tea/coffee before a day in the mountains. Its perfect budget accommodation.

The staff are lovely and very accommodating. Food is good and very reasonably priced. In the bedrooms they could do with hooks on the back of the doors and a corner basket in the shower & over the basin. I'd prefer a firmer mattress. It is very clean and very good value. We will stay soon soon we hope.

Stayed here with two friends after a 6 hour drive and 7 hour climb. Rooms were spotless and comfortable. Food was nice and service was quick. Great value place to stay with friendly and helpful staff. Very quiet location.
