랜스다운 켄메어

We had a nice 2 night stay at the Lansdowne Kenmare. It was striking upon entry, with beautiful millwork, furnishings, and details. Each space on the first floor felt welcoming and cozy, yet luxurious. The rooms felt equally that way. It’s an old building, so there are quirks as well, such as bad plumbing (namely toilets), but we experienced that all over Ireland. It’s also right in the heart of the town, so it’s very convenient. They also had a car park in the back, but fills up quickly. While I knew we wouldn’t receive all our requests, I hoped for a quieter room. We were on the second floor in the first 2 rooms entering the corridor to all the rooms at the top of the stairs. There is a door to enter the corridor that makes for more noise. One of our rooms was directly at the top of the stairs, right by the corridor entry door and above the lounge, which gets quite loud. I imagine it’s the loudest room and should be considered less desirable and offered at a better rate. The staff at check-in were nice and easy enough to communicate with, but the gal at the connected cafe was less than welcoming. Upon check-in we were told that we could have a complimentary coffee or tea. We obliged after bringing our bags in. We entered the cafe and told the barista we were there for our complimentary coffee. She looked off put and hesitant then responded, “um, yeah ok, I will do that for you,” as if she was doing us a favor. Only after receiving our coffee and another patron coming in did I realize they were closing. It would have been nice to be told ahead of time they were closing and to please come the next day.

A quaint boutique hotel in a perfect location. Highly recommend.

Beautiful hotel. Friendly staff. Great room
