Pros:

Sauberkeit war eher so naja. Das Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig und rochen seltsam.

Die Fassade der Unterkunft erinnert an eine Absteige oder heruntergekommene Bar.

Frühstück war für den Preis eine Frechheit. Es gab Toast, Obstsalat und Butter. Dazu noch eine Sorte aufgeschnittenen Käse und ungenießbarer Schinken. Wer mehr möchte muss 10€ p.P. zuzahlen und bekommt ein schlecht schmeckendes englisches Frühstück.

Diese Eindrücke wurden von allen anderen Gästen bestätigt.

Für 200 Euro pro Nacht definitiv nicht wert.

Great base for a hill climbing adventure at Carrauntoohil
Pros:

We were a group of 8 who arrived late and left early. We used a variety of different rooms (dorm, 2 person rooms, apartment) and it was all good - a very welcome night's sleep after 2 days in the bus.
Was also great to be able to use the kitchen for simple things (boiling water / making toast) outside of normal meal hours.
Thank you Climbers' Inn :)

Travels in kerry
Pros:

The climbers inn is nicely located. My room had a few problems shower not working properly & TV had no volume for some reason and after trying unsuccessfully for a night decided wasn't worth the stress of button pressing. Breakfast is very prompt need to be in at 8:30 to fet a cooked one.

Pros:

estancia muy agradable con todo lo necesario para pasar una noche en ruta. La chica que nos atendió y nos enseño la habitacion hablaba algo de español y fue muy agradable con nosotros. El alojamiento dispone de taberna donde tomar algo en un entorno realmente acogedor, muy irlandes. El desayuno bien. Muy recomendable aunque algo retirado. Repetiríamos sin duda.
