Reviews and Ratings
The hotel sits at the pier in a fantastic location, especially with the long wait times in the current climate. It offers a picturesque view of an island in West Kerry and is very close to the ferry. The rooms are kept clean, equipped with tea and coffee, and have a small window letting in natural light. The dining includes delicious Thai dishes. While the price may vary, the overall value for money is notable.
My stay at the hotel was an absolute delight. The rooms had a small window with a lovely view, and they even provided tea and coffee, making my mornings extra cozy. The service was exceptional, with efficient room service and impeccable housekeeping. The location, right at the pier, was superb, offering breathtaking views of the ocean all around. However, the dining options were a bit limited, and the paid airport shuttle was a downside to consider. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.
