It is very well located. We stayed in a private room, and it was very spacious, and clean. The dinning area and kitchen was nice and had all the facilities. It would be perfect if it would have towels and wifi conexion. More

I stayed here in June for 3 nights while cycling in the wild Kerry countryside and hiking one of the days with some friends. Lovely clean hostel, town centre location. Hosts are very friendly and enjoy a chat. Kenmare is a great town and a good base for discovering Beara or South Kerry. More
