When we got to our room it totally exceeded our expectations. Room 7 was large, newly renovated & comfortable. The staff were friendly, the breakfast was fantastic & Jer was such a funny & friendly guy. We booked this online from Canada & thought we were taking a chance - a room above a pub - but the music was great & finished at a respectful hour. We could not have been happier with our stay!

Parking was the only problem but that's all over & not O'Donnabhain's fault. We got used to parking a ways away & walking. After all, it's not THAT big a town. Our only other suggestion would be to have a small shelf in the bathroom (maybe above the toilet) for toiletries & a mirror near the outlet in the hall so we could see when we blow dry our hair.

The room was very comfortable and spacious. There was a separate living room area with a second TV. The included breakfast was great, and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We loved the location, right on the main street in Kenmare.

Parking near the hotel was quite limited, though it was easy enough to park in the lot less than 5 minute walk away. (I believe there is some parking behind the hotel, but we didn't use that.) Just be aware that the live music in the pub in the evening can be very loud in the rooms. I was aware of the pub below, and I had requested a quiet room, but was given a room directly above the pub on the first floor. We could barely even hear the TV in our room over the music. I was thankful I had earplugs, though I could still hear the music with them in. I imagine that the rooms on the second floor, or those closer to the back of the building would be quieter.

We stayed in the Studio apartment around the corner from the B & B/Pub; it was secure and quiet during overnight hours. The studio had anything a visitor might need. The location, room, and amenities were great! O'Donnabhain's pub was an excellent place to eat, drink, and stay awhile, and the studio apartment was a great retreat to sleep, relax, recover before heading out for more sightseeing, shopping, meeting new people, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area.

Since we were in the apartments, breakfast was not included in the rate, which would have been nice.

Location is on a very busy commercial narrow road. However we managed to park on it ok after a while. We were told to ignore the two hour limit which felt a little uncomfortable . Our room was lovely. Plenty of hot water. Good wi fi. Breakfast was wonderful and staff were pleasant and helpful. Our evening meal was also very good. It's a fun and vibrant area with good shopping to enjoy a walkabout.

We probably would not have booked this place if we had known the parking problems. We try to only book hotels with free private parking as we don't need hassle. . There is some private parking behind the pub but we were recommended not to use it because of deliveries and small spaces our car we were told would be safer on the street. The piped music in the bar was a little loud for our taste. Hard to have a quiet drink.

This spot was right in the middle of a major street with pubs and shopping all around. The breakfast had a continental buffet plus three choices for hot breakfast including a traditional Irish. The food was great and the pub/restaurant had a nice vibe.

The parking in town is tough to find, if you get a spot you tend to just stay there and walk. The room was nice but did not have A/C which I guess is pretty typical but being there in August it could get a bit warm. We had large windows to open and it worked out ok.

Loved this place. Old family pub in the center of town with rooms above. We got a text 2 days before our scheduled stay letting us know there had been a death in the family so the pub and restaurant were closed. When asked, they provided us recommendations on where to eat - which were great. And they provided breakfast even though they were "closed". Would love to visit again to get the "full" experience.

The water pipes were a little noisy - but it's an old and beautiful property.

Very bright rooms in a central location with plenty of nearby free parking. Huge and delicious full Irish breakfast, with gluten free options . Staff were very friendly and obliging, and took a genuine interest in us as guests and in ensuring we had a great stay in the Kenmare area. Accommodations are above the pub which hosts live music, but there was absolutely no noise from the music, the patrons, or the street. Good shower with lots of pressure and hot water

Toilet was a little slow to flush on our arrival, but the proprietor fixed it promptly

To say you stayed upstairs, on top of a bar is pretty exciting! We anticipated the building to be loud in our room, however it was nice and quiet. Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The morning breakfast was exactly what we wanted, simple, tasty, and fulfilling! The location is in the heart of Kenmare, easily accessible. Parking was not an issue. The live music in the evenings helped to bring out the best of the Irish culture!

The location was AMAZING!! For a very busy street , the rooms out the back were sooooo quiet! Perfect!! Very very spacious huge room. Lovely cosy colours. Very happy. Could walk straight to the shops outside as well as the stone circle and wee bridge all within easy reach. Breakfast was to a great standard . I chose the poached eggs which were done to perfection & came with good old Irish soda bread and mushrooms & tomatoes too. So much to choose from in addition and I had a window seat looking onto the street too. Some great books in the breakfast area about Ireland . I thought I'd booked a single room but when I was shown to my room it was a double. Happy bunny!!!!!

I am travelling in my own. I walked in to Donnabhains for a meal the night before. I was shown to a table right at the very very back with no prospect of speaking to anyone. I waited but no one came with a menu or to take a drink order. In the minutes that I waited I decided to go elsewhere . I am sure it would have all been lovely but a combination of factors moved me on. I found somewhere with live music and chatted to some locals which I thoroughly enjoyed!!

Excellent location, fabulous rooms with an extra comfortable lounge area just outside our 2 rooms. They allowed us to securely park our 2 motorcycles at the rear of the property. Our evening meal and breakfast were fantastic. All the staff could not have done more to ensure we enjoyed our stay. This was the second time we have stayed there and definitely won't be our last.
