I am a regular visitor to Kenmare and Foley’s. The welcome, staff hospitality, friendliness and care has not diminished in the 20 odd years my wife and I have stayed with Patrick, his family and the team. Looking forward to the next visit.
Really great place to stay in Kenmare! Our room was lovely and had everything we could need. The staff were really great and we enjoyed the drinks and live music at the bar very much.
We got a bit unlucky with our neighbours one of the nights who were loud late into the night.
While we had a minor issue upon check-in, it was remedied quickly. The host was very friendly and helpful.
While I looked forward to the room over the inn,
The substituted lodging exceeded our original accommodations.
I would recommend including breakfast, while the food was same venue as the hotels, it was served fresh and hot.
I would not have any issues staying there again.
Thank you.
Authentic Irish guesthouse with an excellent restaurant and pub. The staff was very friendly. Patrick Foley, the owner, is well known in Kinsale for his hospitality. We would definitely stay here again
When you advertise that your hotel has onsite parking, it would be an advantage if the directions to that "onsite parking" weren't to the street outside the property that was packed with day trippers. Also when your guests pointed that out that you were told the property had onsite parking, replying with: "don't worry, it will be empty after 6 and you can repark then", isn't really acceptable as an alternative.
It would also be an advantage that you check the room prior to giving us keys and allowing us to unpack before shuffling us downstairs to 2 very different rooms.
Apparently, the electrics in the 2nd floor had been blown a couple of days before!
Other than that, the other properties around (as in food & drink) were great. Bean & Batch did a brilliant brekkie roll and Maison Gourmet was just a perfect breakfast with a very French twist - sensational.
Our stay in Foley's was very enjoyable. The bar and restaurant downstairs was lovely. Location was very central. We stayed there last year alao and will definitely be back again at a later date.
Great place and a great staff
They make you feel like family here

Disliked: Amenities
Foley‘s in convenient if you are looking to walk around Kenmare and enjoy all the town sights. But we did not like the scent our room - with clearly visible air fresheners. It was overwhelming and not enjoyable and made us wonder what scent was being covered up. Breakfast was included and our party agreed the food was abundant but not particular tasty. We would pass on a repeat visit.
Great location in the middle of town. Convenient parking right outside the door.

Disliked: Staff & service
Service in bar and restaurant not good. Staff continued to speak to either each other or ignored us. Food only ok, nothing to write home about.
Gap in bedroom door when closed, music loud. Overall we would NOT go back there.

It was a very loud place. I didn’t realize there would be a band playing below our room. It was very difficult to sleep. Breakfast was wonderful.
My first time in Kenmare. The town was great and it was a good call to stay here as opposed to the more touristy town of Killarney. Easy access to the Ring of Kerry, good restaurant and bar at the hotel, live music and rooms were clean. The next time I'm in the area I would stay in this town and this hotel.
