I stayed in this Hotel in January, and have just googled its name and found this page. The negative reviews are unreasonable, in fairness to the Hotel the price per person is only 45 euro, it is not the Ritz, and it doesn't pretend to be. You get what you pay for when travelling (think of Ryanair) and infact I... more

#1 hotel for bedbugs. The only thing that can improve this hotel is for it to be torn down. Dirty, dirty dirty. Nothing at all good to say about it. This hotel will ruin your stay in Clonakilty. Paying more is worth it. Awfull rude staff, Frightening experience, Night club in the hotel plays music untill 3am. It seemed as... more

My wife and I were recently doing a tour of Southern Ireland in our camper van and as we approached Clonakilty around midnight our clutch gave out. We rang a local politician that we knew who recommended O Donovan's. Even though it was late at night, the man who answered (Tom?) was pleasant and assured us that we could have... more

My boyfriend and I went to Clonakilty for a weekend & stayed in O’Donovan’s, we had seen the poor (& often unwarranted) reviews. I rang the hotel directly to book with them, they first off told me about the noise, they are above a night club & on the main night life area after all, we booked a room to... more

Staying at this hotel is like stepping back in time! The reception staff aren't overly friendly although very polite and it is like a museum upstairs. The rooms are small but clean but need refurbishment. The breakfast was poor compared to others we had on our weeks tour, even compared to much cheaper B&B s. There was a nice terrace... more

Stayed here as I read reviews I think they are all false as nothing here could be further from the truth night club music was thumping in my room till after 2 am and then the noise from the drunken crowd below on the street was unbearable the owners were more interested in the club than their guests can be... more

My sister and I arrived after dark - rather frazzled since we were not used to Irish roads - especially at night. When we arrived, the owners were diligently working and were pleased to help us. I requested that someone help park our car - one of the owner's promptly volunteered her brother - who gladly drove our car into... more

I used to travel around the Munster Region of Ireland as a salesman for I had to stay in corporate hotels that often lacked atmosphere. But now that I've retired I've been able to retrace my routes with my wife and stay in small hotels. We found this hotel online. It's a real gem, so comfortable, so normal, its like... more

When my wife booked this hotel online I was a bit skeptical as it was only EUR 120 per night in total, which is very cheap for hotels in Clonakilty, but when we arrived I was plesantly surprised, there was a secure carpark, the receptionist was a mine of information about the town and was genuinely interested in his job.... more

Stayed 2 nights in the beginning of September at 200 euro per night double room very small, TV reception made it unwatchable, the remote didn't work, over half the channels in the room booklet were not available. The hotel itself is totally dated, old and in need of a serious revamp. Was noisy because of nite-club which we were pre... more
