“Plenty of Character”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2011

“great base for outdoor activities”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 July 2011

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
