Park Hotel Kenmare

Unbelievable Excited to check out new owners bar menu. My husband and I were the only two eating in bar lounge tourists staying in hotel having coffee and choc cake ordered our food and are still in shock it was so bad we have never had such a bad meal and in a 5 star hotel so so disappointed. I must say the waiter Jude was excellent and he saw clearly how bad it was. I regret we did not return same. I could have cried going home to killarney and all the restaurants hotels we have so wonderful no chef in the kitchen for sure. They should have said menu off untill evening when chefs on duty money down the drain and day ruined. Triona Neilans

We stayed here two nights. GREAT hotel. Wonderful staff, lovely rooms, great ambience. Great bar with an extremely knowledgeable bar staff. Fabulous food. The best scones I have had anywhere in Ireland. The restaurant is really excellent also, for a great breakfast, but most especially for dinner. Free coffee, tea, and cake late afternoons in one of the lovely public spaces. Steps from great restaurants and shopping in town. We would definitely want to come back.

This is a stunning hotel in a great location. Their scones are tasty and they have a truly fabulous spa. Our room was okay--nothing special. Sadly, I can't give the hotel five stars because something about the service here is cold and affected. Not everyone, of course, but that impression was my biggest takeaway, which should never be the case at a hotel of this caliber.

I have to admit, I'm disappointed writing this as I knew this Hotel in a previous incarnation I went to meet Friends / business meeting that ended up lasting an hour and a half Now...here we go Windows were dirty when I say dirty, they had been washed but not properly cleaned afterwards left stains running down the window distracting from the beautiful view Tables were dirty and stained, floor was covered in crumbs previous guests. The entrance doors had gathered black dirt between the them the first thing that greets you The staff very pleasant as always but there uniforms were actually tread bear ! and dirty with stains which kept grabbing my attention along with there dirty shoes You could overlook it just about because their personalities were very good warm and friendly. This is not acceptable at this level. At this price point and level, I guess they're living off their past history for the moment. My opinion, what a mess they're more interested in artwork and waffle talk than they basic standards if I want to know about Art, I'll ask, I wandered into the restaurant to see dirty tables and half eaten food - all in all I was embarrassed at meeting people in there , grant you the coffee was very nice along with the selection of biscuits they could improve on the presentation, though So that's the end of my honest review of the Park Hotel Kenmare it wasn't very busy the day I was there, I fear the management are not up to the job of a five star hotel . I have no doubt I'll find myself in The Park Hotel again and I will verbally tell the manager or the owner my opinion on their low standards -

Outstanding. The staff was friendly and attentive. Rooms are spacious, clean and classy (with a large wonderful bathroom). Pool and spa was the greatest part. Quiet, very classy and a great sauna (even for us Finns!). Grounds were large and beautiful. Piano player and the fireplace on the lobby were a great touch. Location was great.
