Checking into the Emmet Hotel on a beautiful sunny afternoon was a pleasure. Warm welcome from the proprietor. Comfortable spotless clean room . Dining in the bar was a relaxing experience with attentive staff and varied Menu for all tastes. The Garden is an added bonus for guests to relax in. Street parking adjacent to hotel under the watchful eye of the " Michael Collins " memorial Statue. Thank you for the thoughtful little gift on checkout. It's obvious Guests are much appreciated in this establishment. "Go raibh mhaith agat go leir" Looking forward to returning in the future.

Decor beautiful. Garden lovely. Loved the lounge room. Staff very helpful and pleasant.
Breakfast was a bit disappointing. Quality of cooked breakfast not good. Would have liked a pot of coffee. Prefer to help ourselves to breakfast. Would have liked some cereal and yogurt. Dinner was very bad value. Starters good but mains not good. My husband had curry with prawns of which there was only 3 and sauce very watery. I had nut loaf two small slices and a bit burned very bad value for what we paid 90€ that included one very small carafe of wine.

the location is fantastic, this is my 2nd time staying here . it is a lovely bougie hotel. the staff are very friendly and nice. I like when you check in the receptionist actually brings you up to your room. it is very quirky hotel and has so much charm and character. this time the room I stayed in had a balcony which was gorgeous. the hotel also has a library room which you can borrow books from. I had originally booked for 1 night but ended up having to stay for 2 and they were very accommodating for letting me stay the extra night. there is a lot of beautiful details gone into this hotel . I like that you get a physical key too instead of a key card. I would 100% stay here again
the room doesn't have a kettle just an Nespresso machine which is fine but you can only boil a small amount of water at a time , the pillows although really comfortable were a bit too firm , it can be a bit noisy hearing other guests in their rooms as the walls are thin and there is only a limited selection of TV channels (saor view )and no option to be able to stream cast from your phone but over all the hotel is beautiful and charming and I don't have much complaints

This place has soul! It's unique and specialised, the building is old and well-maintained, the staff delightful and helpful. We even really enjoyed the food, which is unusual because I'm fussy! My room was huge and had a little porch area outside, there was a tiny window within the larger ones i could open for air without compromising security, there was a tub, and I loved the sunshiny yellow of the bedspread and curtains.
The only thing I'd want different would be: some more shelf or counter space in the bathroom to put toiletries on, and more vegan/organic possibilities in the menu. Also I think someone in the town should realise that visitors might want long hikes, and resurrect old trails or whatever - hikes all seemed to involve roads with too much traffic.

The location of the hotel was great, across the street from a church and easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. We were a family of four and we had a bed for the adults and two twin beds for the children. There was an area raised up where one of the twins beds was that had half walls and gave the feeling of being its own room. Every bed had a nightstand and lamp. There was an in-room coffee machine and plenty of coffee. There was a table and chairs to eat at in addition to the desk. They had a nice pitcher of water with glasses in the room. The wardrobe closet had hangers and nice shelving, with fun decorative mirrors inside. The bathroom was smaller but had a nice shelf to put your toiletries. The shower worked well with good pressure and hot water. The tile in the bathroom was cute. I liked the decor overall. It felt historic but had been updated. The beds were comfortable. There was a restaurant on site where we ate breakfast each day. I
There was a strange loud noise in the evening around 20:00 or so and in the morning around 6:30 or so that sounded like an air raid. We asked a staff member what it was but she didn’t hear it or know what it was. It woke me up and frightened my daughters.

Really enjoyed our stay at the Emmet Hotel. The room we stayed in was beautiful and overlooked the square. The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful. In particular Samantha on reception was an excellent host and helped us secure accomodation when we decided to stay an extra night and the hotel was full. She couldn't have been nicer to us and she was full of local knowledge about the best pubs to go to and the best places to visit. I will definitely return there because they were so nice and the hotel was so warm and comfortable with a lovely bar and fabulous food and lots of areas to chill and relax.
The fact we couldnt stay longer.

Hotel was absolutely spotless . The beds were exceptional comfortable and also the pillows , the location of the hotel is so handy for everything, the staff were lovely , the added surprise of the library ,the quirkiness of the room with the coloured lockers, the nice wallpaper and the added little extras on the tea tray. I loved that they had an actual key rather then a key card and it felt very personal. When I hung the do not disturb sign on my door I found fresh towels , shampoo , soap and toilet roll outside the door later on . It was a lovely hotel stay overall.
The room said it would have a bath but it didn't only a shower although the shower was great. , the walls were paper thin and I could hear my neighbors snoring and turning on and off their lights

The lady / ladies, were exceptional, lovely women, and the staff in the bar , were lovely... the dinner was just fabulous that night, ..
Breakfast was a bit funny , just think the girls forgot to lay the table out in the sunroom with everything, had to ask for a few things , milk, butter, sugar, and there was only 2 ceral options, and also had to ask for ordinary toast, which was unusual, don't get me wrong they had toast out but sourdough and home made brown also lovely, I'm a plain Jane 😉

Great welcome from Tim. We arrived tired and hungry as we drove directly from Dublin to Clonakilty. He made a homemade ham and cheese sandwich followed by a homemade scone. Delightful. The beds are very comfortable—friendly professional employees serve a good quality Breakfast. A good standard of cleanliness was observed in the bathroom and the shower was excellent. The library houses a treasure of books from philosophy to Irish history, plus plenty of material on Clonakilty and its environs.
The sink in the bathroom is too low - I kept hitting my head on the shelf!!! Very little shelf space for toiletries.

The hotel is in a great location in Clonakilty with free parking on the square outside. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The decor is really nice and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. It had everything that I needed for my one night stay. I would definitely stay there again. The gift of a Clonakilty candle was a lovely touch when I was checking out.
