The Sneem hotel is an average tourist hotel, neither bad nor good. But while the staff are attentive, the hotel is in need of attention. For example, there are numerous cob webs in the restaurant where the curtain are torn; cleanliness is also an area warranting attention, both in our room and more generally in the hotel. The list is long of areas that have been neglected. On the plus side, the food is good overall, although the breakfast buffet is in need of improvement.

The setting of the hotel makes the most of the landscape and views to the one side. The evening service was a little distracted and the fish overcooked. For the price I think the breakfast should be included.

Appears nice but needs more attention to detail

Sizeable hotel in lovely grounds. Clean, large room. One window glass needed replacing as the double glazing no longer was clear (condensation damage internal to the glass) - this inhibited the view. Considering this isa 4 star hotel, I thought the lack of attention to detail was poor. Several examples: firstly, in the room,only one type of teabag, instant coffee and I’d have expected slippers and robes. Secondly we ate dinner there twice and on neither occasion where we asked if we wanted a dessert or coffee, though we noticed this was offered to some other customers. Finally, upon arrival at check-in, the receptionist managed not to look at my partner at all. She was completely unacknowledged as the receptionist addressed me only and, though my partner and I discussed what time we should check in for breakfast in front of her, she continued to stare intently at me only, ignoring there were two of us. This felt very rude and exclusionary, as well as unwelcoming.
Condensation in the double glazing.

Great hotel on Ring of Kerry. Very clean with impressive views. After traveling the morning from Cork we spent a little time in Killarney for breakfast followed by Ross Castle( Jaunting/boat) then watched sheep dog demo at Kissane sheep farm. Perfect full day which got us at to hotel by 5pm with some break time before dinner in Sneem which is adorable, then drinks back at hotel watching sunset. The water view is spectacular. Hotel was perfect location for rest and relaxation after a full day of site seeing. Staff was friendly, rooms large and after having smaller bathrooms in previous stops was nice have more room! Great Hotel and perfect for our itinary.
