Gutes Hotel in der Nähe des Ring of Kerry.
Pros:

Auch kurzfristig ein bezahlbares, ordentliches Hotelzimmer in Kerry zu finden, war ein echter Glücksfall! Liegt etwas außerhalb der Haupt Touristenströme. Sehr freundliches Personal und gute Betten.

Cons:

Das Frühstücksbuffet war etwas mager. Vielleicht, weil vor uns eine Busgruppe eingefallen war.

Pros:

Inside the hotel was nice. Wood stairway. Pretty bar. Staff was very friendly and nice

Cons:

The bathtub was dirty and we didn’t use it. This was a problem. I didn’t realize until we went to take a shower before bed so couldn’t ask to switch. That was not good.

Posto tranquillo e colazione ottima
Pros:

Posto molto carino con personale gentile. La colazione è abbondante e gustosa. Peccato per la cittadina in cui si trova che è fuori dagli itinerari turistici principali e non offre quindi grandi possibilità di svago.
