“A Diamond on the Ring of Kerry!”

Sneem Hotel

Jul 17, 2008

My wife, my son (aged 6) and I stayed at the hotel for a few days in July and were highly impressed with the location, scenery, and quality of the experience. It was opened in 2007 and is a modern spacious and quiet place to spend a few days. It is a perfect base from which to tour the Ring of Kerry. We had both breakfast and dinner during our stay and both were good - there was a good variety of food including locally sourced lamb and fish. The room we stayed in did not have a view of the estuary but was spacious and clean. The beds were very comfortable indeed and my six year old snored his way through 10 hours of sleep each night of our stay. Overall the hotel has more of a family owned feel to it as opposed to one of the big hotel chains. There was ample parking and it is only a short walk to the village. Probably the most impressive feature was the view from the bar and the ample wooden chairs and tables on the veranda for eating or drinking outside. If you want a top quality hotel on the Ring of Kerry with good food, scenery, and some peace and quiet - this is the one to choose.

“Beautiful resort”

Sneem Hotel

Jul 4, 2008

My two sisters and I stayed at the Sneem Hotel for three nights to attend a wedding held at the hotel. We were very impressed with the accommodations and helpful staff. The location is beautiful, located on the ring of Kerry in the tiny town of Sneem. The view from our room was gorgeous! We stayed in the new wing of apartments. This was a nice, spacious change from staying in small hotel rooms on the rest of our trip. We had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, dining room, and living area. The apartment was stocked with all of the basics and then some--we even had a dishwasher (with soap) and a combination washer/dryer. The apartment was brandnew and we declared the beds to be the most comfortable of our whole trip! It was quiet and peaceful. We really liked the convenience of the parking lot right in front of the building. The hotel did a great job accommodating us as well as the rest of wedding guests, and all had a wonderful time. Thank you!

“A really good little hotel”

Sneem Hotel

4 of 5 stars
Cork, Ireland
Jul 1, 2008

This hotel far surpassed my expectations and my thoughts. I had expected a typically small Irish country hotel but this building is new with very modern and large rooms.

Food is quite good, but the seem very badly understaffed throughout the whole place. Breakfast more resembled a Mary Celeste experiance but food eventually was brought, hot and tasty.

My only criticisim is the hotel is very slow to get rooms ready we arrived early and they could not accomodate us. But again staffing was blamed.

But this hotels best feature is by far and away its setting. Set in a pretty town in an amazing part of the world. It really is very pretty. One word of advice, the road from Kenmare is pretty bad so take care on it.

“A fantastic stay!”

Sneem Hotel

Jun 13, 2008

I attended a wedding at the Sneem Hotel last month and stayed a extra few days. I loved the hotel. The staff was great and I didn't come across one problem. Breakfast was superb, the patio had an unreal view overlooking the water and mountains. The Accomadation staff were all very nice and helpful. I spent most of the time in the bar with my family and friends. The bar staff were all very nice and pleasant and hard working. We met the owner and he was a pure gentleman and made us feel at home.

-I recommend the Sirloin Steak and Grilled Salmon

-Bar Staff are some of the best you'll ever find, Mike and Martin took great care of us and were very friendly to everyone.

-5 Minute walk to the village for a night out

i'll deff. be back !
