"O'Donnabhain's Pub Hotel, very clean and well-kept, the feeling of sleeping in a pub is charming. Super friendly staff: even though we arrived at 9 PM (after check-in hours), they let us eat even though it was closing time."

"Was a casual trip with my friend. Really really like this hotel, it's my friends first time and my second time to stay there. My friend got surprised with everything. I like it even more than first time. Always feel want to come back again. Everything was very good, receptionist was very professional, room was very clean. Spa treatment was fabulous. Maria was so kind and professional. Will definitely call back for her. Another unforgettable person was Sean, always ware warm welcome smile on his face and give fantastic service as well. I don't think I have enough words to describe our stay. Definitely recommend"

"This is a difficult review for us to put together.  On one hand, there was so much to like at Park Hotel Kenmare:  The idyllic setting with its lush garden overlooking Kenmare Bay; richly detailed interior spaces; plenty of public spaces to relax, anytime of day, some with even a steady supply of tea and snacks.  We loved the library with its selection of books and a collection of photographs by Gilles Caron on the walls. Our spacious  room has a comfortable sitting area with a lovely view; Grown Alchemist bath amenities; pampering daily replenishes of in-room snacks, tea selection, Blue Bottle coffee, even fresh milk in the mini fridge, etc..   Dinner and breakfast were all superb:  Fresh, delicious, so well-prepared, and so beautifully presented.   The display of the owner's private art collection is a true gem.  It  introduces  guests, up close, to a truly eclectic world of contemporary art.  Moreover, in our opinion, the art did not detract from the traditional interiors but instead artfully added a refreshing brightness and visual focus.  (Please do go on the in-house art tour:  It was informative with just the right balance of details and breath.) All this seemed a world away but was in fact just a few steps around the corner from the colorful and picturesque town of Kenmare! So why not an unequivocal 5-star?  The service was uneven.  We believe the staff was well-intentioned, but there were enough service gaps to be noticeable.  For a 5-star Relais & Chateaux property, the doorman was often not at the door.  The staff was always gracious and polite, but housekeeping and turndown services were inexplicably early every day and evening during our 3-night stay (as early as at 9 or 9:30 in the morning or before dinner, respectively).   Breakfast was scrumptious, when we were finally attended, when juice or water was offered, or when the fruit compote was actually served with the porridge that supposedly should have come with.   We are not picky travelers, so we mention these gaps not to be petty.  But when these minor lapses kept recurring over the 3-night stay, we had to ask "why" in  what  was otherwise a lovely experience.  We had the opportunity to say " hello" to Bryan and Tara Meehan during our stay.  Their very warm, kind and  personable greetings suggested a genuine commitment to make Park Hotel Kenmare a welcoming corner where guests can luxuriate in the beauty and hospitality of Ireland."
