The problem with these reviews is that people often use them to air a grievance because they wish they were staying in a 5 star but can't afford it. This hotel was perfect for my needs during my 1 night stay and this review reflects my reservation in a 3 star hotel at the price I paid. I'm not going to mark it down for having no swimming pool or silver service waiter as I knew there wasn't one here before I arrived. With the Abbey, you know exactly what you are getting when you book..., a convenient, exceptionally clean, hot shower, very friendly, warm, great value for money, comfortable room with the added bonus of a Smart TV and in-room tea/ coffee facilities. Enjoyed a couple of late drinks at the hotel bar and some friendly chat with the bar staff. It's only 20/25 mins from Killarney so it was perfect for us to escape the crowds at the bar after a show at the INEC. Give me this honest family run establishment any day of the week. Well done and thank you Abbey Hotel. Will see you again.

This gorgeous hotel was a delightful find in a quiet but convenient location away from the big town bustle. The staff were friendly and efficient. The bar and restaurant were great and the meals were delicious and hearty. We enjoyed our first night so much we returned for another night.

We didn't find anything not to like!

I really enjoyed my stay, the rooms have everything you need, they are clean and the bed is very comfortable. The staff is very friendly and the food is exceptional!

Would be good if could offer breakfast option as well. Also lacks of entertainment (I stayed during the week, I'm not sure what is like at weekends).

very friendly staff, food in the bar was good value for money and the breakfast menu had several choices. The beds were comfortable and the rooms clean. we would definitely stay again as it provided what we needed to break our journey for the night.

it was cold in the area where we had breakfast but I wouldn’t expect them to heat a large area just for three of us.

Very cozy , charming old fashioned ( but in very positive way) hotel. Very nice owners and very accommodating - we arrived after midnight and they were able to check us in without any problems. Very good Irish breakfast! Clear, comfortable. highly recommended!

nothing. everything perfect!

no chi chi. Basic and old fashioned. I didn’t mind. Room was clean. it was quiet and it was the right location after a long drive that day. Breakfast was freshly made.

I couldn’t get a place in the bar so I got a table in the hallway. It was windy and cold. Otherwise no complaints.

We had our flight into Cork delayed so we're going to be late checking in, and the staff were thankfully able to accommodate this. The hotel's location was perfect, size of the rooms was very good and the bathroom was clean and well equipped. The bar downstairs was well stocked and had a great atmosphere. The self-serve breakfast was varied and plentiful.

Owner was very helpful and on hand day and night, rooms were very clean, food was delicious, took in a parcel for me and held until I arrived back very late.

The staff were courteous and very friendly. Everything was spotless. Dinner was delicious.

The building was old and the room small. Breakfast is a buffet so, some of the food stood for a while.

Very spacious. Full tub for a shower. Netflix.

The mattress was not great. No craic nearby on a Saturday night (October 22). I’ve had much better value at many BnBs in the last couple weeks so feel I overpaid to stay here. My fault for waiting til the last minute.
