Great little hotel in the middle of everything, great service, delicious food, wonderful staff
1.0 / 5.0
Important to know the rooms are above a bar and restaurant which was not in the description at time of booking. Nightlife went on with live music every night - does not quiet down till 2:30 pm. If your looking guy a quiet relaxing room this is not the place to stay. If you’re looking to be part of the nightlife till early am then this is the place for you. Street parking. Room was clean and comfortable. Gave a 2 due to the noise we were not anticipating.

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.

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.

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.
3.0 / 5.0
Would not recommend this property for older visitors
Firstly there is minimal on street parking close by
Secondly there are steep stairs to access rooms
Thirdly the pub has live music till 1 am. Even after pub doors closed revellers were outside our room overlooking street till after 2 am
Patrick the manager was extremely understanding and allowed us to cancel the second /third nights booked
We ended up in Kenmare the weekend of Ironman , not a choice we knew about
We moved to The Ashe hotel in Tralee which was a great choice . Both Kenmare and Killarney are extremely busy towns

Foley's was the ideal place to stay as it was in the center of the town. The bed was comfortable and the room was lovely and cool. The food is very tasty and the staff are really friendly.

We want a stay-over-a-pub experience and we got it! Not for everyone, but it was a neat experience otherwise.

Great place right in the centre of town.
2.0 / 5.0
Room was comfortable enough (although smelled slightly musty) and the washroom was small but newly renovated. The only real drawback to this place is the noise level. Even though we were on the 2nd floor, the live music on the ground floor below was still clearly audible until midnight each night. We could also hear music from the other bars, through the closed windows. This is not an issue if you plan to stay up late but bring ear plugs if you wish to sleep before midnight.

Great place to stay. Very friendly staff abd great atmosphere. Food was delicious with a good range of choices. Great base for travelling around to see the wonderful sights. Room was spotless. Will definitely visit again.

The Hotel was in the middle of Kenmare which was nice. The room itself was very small and 2 people could barely move around. It seemd like it was a single room sold as a double. Well used and not very inviting. Would never recommend it. Yours sincerely

Lovely pub hotel. Very comfortable room, although up a set of steep stairs. The pub had great music. The noise level was basically nothing. Breakfast was good and plenty.
2.0 / 5.0
Great central location above Foley’s Pub. Clean updated room and bathroom. But be aware it is above a pub with a band that plays in the evening, so if you are not a heavy sleeper, or only plan to sleep after the band finishes, this may not be the place for you.

Wonderful, friendly, helpful staff. Lovely pub with excellent food and drink. Great location to stay on the Ring of Kerry.
