    My particular room did not have a ceiling fan, which I missed. It was a little warm at night.

    Our bartender Gary was really great. Beautiful smile and quick with a laugh.

    My only negative was breakfast, now when I booked, it said included! My payment was taken a few days prior and it was only on arrival we were tolded it was continental, now we were in lake garda a fortnight ago and had a continental breakfast included, far superior to yours, it did the job fine but it is misleading when on booking breakfast included!It wouldn't but me off staying again though

    It was a lovely nite away, the room was fab, facing onto the street, loved the decor of the hotel, we were met by a lovely guy at reception and met him again on leaving, he was a really nice guy! Great facilities in room, very welcoming!

    While the rooms were generally very comfortable, we did notice a bit of variation in temperature: one room felt a touch too warm, while the other was slightly on the cooler side. It wasn't a major issue, but something to keep in mind if you're particular about climate control.

    We had a wonderful experience staying at this small historic hotel during our trip to Ireland! The building itself is full of old-world charm, beautifully maintained with just the right touch of character. Each room, while compact, was thoughtfully designed, warm, and incredibly cozy—perfect for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The location couldn't have been better. Nestled right in the heart of town, we were just minutes away from the start of the Ring of Kerry and had easy access to all the highlights of Killarney. We loved being able to walk to local shops and pubs in the evening and enjoy the vibrant yet relaxed atmosphere. One of the standout features was the breakfast served in the restaurant downstairs—it was absolutely delicious. If you’re looking for a place with history, heart, and a fantastic location for exploring southwest Ireland, this little gem is hard to beat.

    Although breakfast was included on Bookkng.com, we were informed that a limited continental breakfast was all that was included. Both the offering and the service of it left quite a lot to be desired. It let the hotel down.

    Delightful spot, great location in centre of town. Room was lovely, very nicely decorated with excellent fittings and a very comfortable bed.

    Car parking limited and timing has to be right otherwise we would have been charged. Another option was to park near the library and walk.

    Breakfast was not included and we needed to order off a menu. Our preference is to help ourselves to a buffet style breakfast although we do not have the cooked options.

    Great location in Kenmare

    I wish we had booked a different type of room and would not really recommend the "Little Nest". We had two rooms with views of the parking lot. Both were small and made a bit crowded with the inclusion of two lovely upholstered chairs and a little table. Very nice in concept but not practical in a room this size. Removing a chair in favor of a more functional table or chest would be better. We had two people per room so resorted to using the chairs as luggage storage because there was nowhere else to put bags. There was a furniture unit that was intended to function as a place to hang clothes, hold a suitcase, enclose the safe and be the coffee pot area. Definitely efficient but not large enough for two people with one small bag and backpack each. Because there were two of us, I asked for a folding luggage stand. I was told they didn't have one, but I could use the aforementioned furniture unit.

    We loved our stay at the Landsdowne. It was right in the center of town so it was an easy walk to everything in Kenmare. The hotel itself is very upscale and beautifully decorated, and the bar area was warm and cozy. We really enjoyed hanging out there with live music as a backdrop. We booked a "Little Nest" room and it was modern and clean with a very nice bathroom and a super comfy bed. There was a free parking area behind the hotel, so that was definitely a plus. I would definitely recommend the hotel itself but would suggest upgrading to a room other than "Little Nest". There is no elevator, so just be mindful of that if mobility is an issue.

    Parking can be a challenge, and the beds may not be to everyone's taste — very soft. Lots of stairs as well, so those needing good accessibility may want to look elsewhere, or be very precise in your booking.

    Somewhat upscale hotel right in the heart of Kenmare. Near lots of shops, pubs and restaurants. Kind and helpful staff. While the parking lot is small, it's included in the price. Great place for doing day trips around Co. Kerry.
