Top 30 Best Hotel & Motel & Hostel in Ireland

“Ard na Sidhe near Killorglin Ireland is a most beautiful place, a hidden gem, semi-secret. We highly recommend it and will certainly come back again. The Team are amazing: real professionals and so nice people like Sandra, Mary and Debbie make your feel as if you were staying in their own home. Hannah in the lounge was very kind to us also on our first evening. David chef de cuisine prepared beautiful dishes at dinner, local Irish and European. The breakfasts are a delight. The gardens are so beautiful, swimming in the lake was a treat and refreshing. The wild dear that cam to the garden...We miss the place. Top class and thank you to the Team there for a super holiday.”

“Absolutely perfect place to start our Ring of Kerry tour. Great Inn in a small town. The evening bartender (Tom?)/ host/ reception/ waiter made us feel perfectly welcomed, despite a full pub. Watched a football match with a pizza and pint. The room was great, and breakfast the next morning was divine.”

“I celebrated mother's day with three generations of my family. The service was excellent with attention to detail and customer focused. The food was excellent and very tasty. The surroundings were beautiful. Every one had a memorable and enjoyable experience.”

“Still the best hidden gem of a restaurant in all of kerry.”

“My best friend and I were looking forward to staying here more than the rest of our stays while in Ireland. It did not disappoint! From the staff to the accommodations everything was AMAZING! David, the hotel Manager was incredible! He gave us tons of details on where to go and when. Lots of information on the Ring of Kerry. Dean was a patient and attentive bartender in the cellar bar! The decor and onsite food is lovely! Highly recommend.”

“This is the epitome of Irish hospitality in a beautifully natural environment where you can get all the seasons in one day. Stunning view and great hiking routes. The staff in the hotel are incredible, so welcoming and work so hard to make your stay is so memorable. The food is exceptional and signs by with the amount of people who travel specifically to enjoy their culinary delights. A wonderful place to relax and unwind, highly recommended.”

“I have just had the best afternoon tea , what a beautiful setting and surroundings the food was delicious, the staff were so friendly and helpful. everything was perfect, thank you so much, I highly recommend Fernhill House for afternoon tea, we will be back.”

“We've been leaving our "furry babies" as my wife calls them with Yvonne for years. Our last dog, Chewie, and her sister Alfie were, shall we say, high dependency. Not a bother for Happy Paws. Our current bundle of furry joy, Bettie, loves it there too. We've also taken advice from Yvonne about trainers and groomers, all excellent, and we buy our dog food off her. Overall, couldn't recommend highly enough.”

“Absolutely excellent! This is a gem and I would buy a plane ticket from Canada just to stay here!! The breakfast were art on a plate and absolutely delicious! Nothing was too much trouble and the owners went out of their way to make sure we had the very best Doolin experience!”

“Highly recommended dining experience in a beautiful setting. The menu offered a great selection for all diners from meat to fish to vegan. Beautiful presentation and attention to detail on all dishes with generous portions. Extensive wine list and choice of cocktails. Top quality service with a smile!”

“The staff were so friendly and hospitable. The food and cocktails were stunning. The location is the centre of Doolin and walking distance to all pubs and cliff walk starting point. The furniture and colour scheme so old world meets modern chic. The attention to detail exquisite. Worth every penny.”

“This is a beautiful castle, where your every need is catered to, and then some. The property is stunning and the quality of every interaction with staff was flawless! Every single person we interacted with went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and our stay was comfortable. And, of course, you’re staying in a castle! Simply amazing!”

“Gorgeous food, beautiful surroundings and the staff from start to finish were fantastic. It has been a while since I have enjoyed such a culinary treat executed with the utmost professionalism. Thank you to Noel and David. My first time at Bunratty Manor but it will definitely not be my last.”

“Absolutely a 21st century hotel, dropped into a time of bygone era. A surprise to have a facility of such calibre in the location where it is. Highly recommend, but be prepared to drive to enjoy the area for breathtaking walks and scenery”

“We attended our friends' wedding reception at the Manor. Breathtaking surroundings, great service and amazing wedding breakfast ( dinner). Local ingredients - I had beef. Probably the best fillet I've had in my life! Well done team.”

“Beautiful spot! The rooms are spacious and comfortable. Wonderful food and drink. The owner Tom is an absolute Gentlemen, and is very knowledgeable about the town and surrounding areas.”

“Excellent position just one minute walk to the main shopping lane and city center with a great choice of pubs and restaurants. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are very clean and I appreciate having great quality products in the dispenser/refillable format instead of samples that end in the trash can. The breakfast is super good, I had a great Belgian waffle and the price is 12€ with a good quality selection of hot beverages, juices and pastries! I'd highly recommend this boutique hotel and definitely stay here again in the future.”

“We had a nice 3 night stay, late October 2022. I thought room layout with bathroom sink open within the room quite unusual. No privacy for washing or shaving etc. Otherwise we enjoyed the restaurant, see Zampas review. Good location near to Temple bar but a little noisy in the room at night.”

“Nothing short of a sublime experience staying here. Staff was incredible and we were so beautifully taken care of. We had a snafu in our scheduling, and they were so considerate and worked with us to find a solution quickly and seamlessly. Caroline was the most helpful, professional and kind concierge. I’d give them 10 stars if I could. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!”

“Came here for afternoon tea with prosecco for 2 with a friend and we had a great experience. The sandwiches, scones and desserts were delicious and all coffee and tea was included. The head waitress was so attentive and friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, she also ran the entire service very efficiently. The other waitresses were lovely but not as attentive - we ended up staying afterwards for drinks and had to walk up to the bar to order and ask for cocktail/wine menus all but one of the times as they weren't attending to our table very well.. All in all we had a wonderful afternoon and will definitely return.”

“Super friendly and well stocked. A credit to how Brendan runs his business.”

“Giving 5stars here due to the location, views and facilities, Service is slow in restaurant, I must clarify- its not due to lack of staff or them not been present just a long lead to ordering and receiving food, could of been the fact a large wedding was been catered for? Otherwise this hotel is a gem, the facilities loads to do, the views amazing all staff we engaged with were excellent and very chatty at dinner and breakfast. Would 100% book again, just maybe dine out next time :/ Photos are 1 from the walk on hotel grounds and 2nd from room balcony in morning (red sky).”

“Gorgeous stay. Lovely rooms. Staff are just so lovely and friendly. Food in the Brasserie was great. Service and food at breakfast was amazing. Spa treatment was unreal - stunning facial!! Would definitely recommend and will return!”

“All I can say is WOW! From the property grounds to the excellent staff, this castle hotel exceeded expectations. The rooms were spacious and charming, and the common areas luxurious and beautiful. We had breakfast at the castle for two mornings, and the food was delicious. There we met Esther and Doreen who not only provided us with wonderful service, but they helped us find local activities and unique things to explore. Behind the bar at night we met Eddie who was excellent to talk to! We can’t wait to return!”

“The hotel was great, but the breakfast was absolutely fabulous!! I’ve never stayed in a hotel with such amazing COMPLIMENTARY breakfast. Well done!!”

“Just returned from a wonderful weekend at The Lake Hotel, Killarney. Stunning views. Beautiful hotel and rooms. Staff were fantastic and food was exceptional, even my vegetarian meal was one of a kind. Can't wait to go back again. Thank you!”

“Stopped here for lunch. Even though we didn't have a booking they looked after us. Food was delicious. Views and organic garden were beautiful. Will definitely be back.”

“What a little gem. Our hostess Anne could not do enough for us.Boutiuue hotel with interesting garden and waterfront view from our balcony. Coffee al fresco in the morning. No breakfast but plenty of eateries in Kinsale. Really enjoyed the stay. Rooms are small but very well appointed.”

“Old world charm which I love. We stayed here on April 1st, 2023. Relatively small hotel very close to Cork City centre. Oozez charm. Great bedrooms with fab bathrooms. Loved the garden areas and aviary. Really good pool and spa. Very good restaurant, and the breakfast was one of the best I've had. But finally I have to say that the staff were second to none. I loved when they give you eye contact and immediately pick up on that you want something, and not the other way around. They couldn't do enough for us.... Serious kudos. I hope that I can revisit sometime because Cork City was a great experience.”

“Stayed with two dogs. Great service. Tasting menu was not to one of our liking, but they accommodated dietary requirements”
