Very pleasant and comfortable hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Plenty of parking, good choice of well prepared food at both breakfast and dinner. Professionally run but with staff who are friendly and conversational. The room was clean and spacious with beautiful views over the water. Highly recommend.

The setting of the hotel makes the most of the landscape and views to the one side. The evening service was a little distracted and the fish overcooked. For the price I think the breakfast should be included.

Lovely hotel and dog!

Great little hotel, central to ring of kerry and near to walk to sneem. But whatever about the hotel, the best feature of this hotel (and I mean this in the best way!) is "Red", the resident Red setter dog who is in charge! Go, stay, ask to see "Red" and make ur holiday complete!

Thoroughly enjoyed our brief overnight stay at Sneem Hotel! Very friendly and accommodating staff, and the bar/dining area was nice. Breakfast was outstanding! The cleanliness was mostly great, though some room service items were left in the hallway overnight and there were some signs of minor wear and tear. Generally would love to return and stay longer!

Great hotel

Our stay at the Sneem Hotel in Sneem, Co. Kerry was outstanding from start to finish. Highly recommend this gem of a hotel to get away from it all. Beautiful hotel & lovely food and great value. Location of hotel is just wonderful over looking Kenmare Bay. All the staff are so welcoming.

Highly recommend and 5 stars for Carlos

We had a lovely stay at this hotel! Firstly the views were absolutely amazing. Breakfast was delicious—we had the full Irish and really enjoyed it. The rooms are a little dated in terms of decor, but they were very spacious and, most importantly, very clean. What really made our stay special, though, was Carlos. This was our first trip away with our newborn, and he went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. He helped us sterilise bottles, which made a huge difference and took a lot of stress off us. We also arrived quite late and missed the dinner service, but Carlos kindly put together a sandwich for both me and my partner. His helpfulness truly stood out and made our experience all the more memorable. Would highly recommend the Sneem Hotel.

Initially the room given wasn’t the one we were expecting (overlooking a car park and a single Headboard for a double bed) They changed us to aN apartment which was lovely. We only had breakfast at the venue which was nice but the staff (particularly a young girl) was very unwelcoming there was a short walk to other bars and restaurants The views and grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed our stay
