    Showers weren't very hot, not so much of an issue in September but hopefully in winter they're a bit warmer!

    Great location for exploring the Beara Peninsular and Ring of Kerry, it's a tiny town so everything is walking distance. Our host Maureen was hilarious although I'm not sure if she realizes it. Lockup storage for bikes is very handy, and the room was nice and clean.

    Nothing to dislike about Failte Lodgings.

    Caring kind and honest approach to all the people that came to stay at this lovely location. Maureen left us to enjoy our visit to Kenmare and even gave us a map to get around easier.

    Very friendly reception, lady that showed us around the accomadation was very helpful and welcoming. My sister and I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom. Bathroom was spotless clean, ideal. Whole house was immaculate. Beds very comfy, sink in room. Location literally in the centre of town. Everything that was available/not available/ house rules were very clearly communicated so you know what to expect.

    There was quite a bad body odour smell in the hallway between the bathrooms and rooms. However I would say this was probably due to another guests coat that was hanging up rather than the fault of the accomodation.

    Helpful staff at check in who gave good dinner recommendations. Basic but comfortable bed in a shared room. The bathroom facilities were clean and tidy.

    It is quite expensive considering the quality of the room. There was a strange smell throughout the facilities, and the windows and doors didn't provide much sound isolation. However, I think it's acceptable for a one-night stay.

    Central place. Friendly host. Showed the most popular bars and a quick tour of the town map.

    Maybe more outlets/extension power bars for all bunk beds to have plenty of charging options. I was good, got one by my bed but saw other roommates having to charge phones across the room. They were all still able to charge but in a group stay environment you feel safer charging right where you sleep.

    Great location, amazing price, very comfortable bed in the dorm room. I have never seen proper thick mattresses on bunk beds, didn't leave much space to sit up on the bottom bunk but so comfortable and I didn't come there to sit. Host is very friendly and gave us great food and live music recommendations. Place was clean, felt like home.
