The Lanterns Hotel

Good location and helpful staff. Breakfast was okay but a bit oily. Fair value for the price, though the place feels a bit tired and could do with updating. Unfortunately, the hairdryer in the bathroom and the iron in the room were both not working.

They kindly offered us a choice of two rooms as I asked for a quiet room as we're troubled sleepers, and we were able to pick one of them.

But other than that, not a lot.

Plek is prima, kamer lekker groot met een fantastisch (breed, lang, dik) hemelbed.,
Het eten was heerlijk en het ontbijt prima.

Personnel adorable

Staff fab

Cozy and good vibes. Very very friendly and helpful. Best Curry ever.

Le lieu et le personnel

On arrival it appears that the hotel is closed. When entering the reception area you're met by an overwhelming smell of incense. The reception area is dark and dingy. However, the staff were very friendly and helpful. We were shown to a room that was labelled as "deluxe," however that was a huge overstatement. There were cobwebs on the windows and electrical sockets hanging loosely from the wall. The bath was near collapsing during washing and it leaked water all over the tiles, which we cleaned up ourselves with the towels. When cleaning the water up, the side panel of the bath came apart and revealed rotting wood and mould underneath it. We put it back together again. The bedroom had a damp smell as did the corridor leading down to the bedroom. There was incense mixed into this smell also, as various bits were burning on sills down the corridor, which are possibly burning to mask the smell of mould and damp. The corridor also had random bits of personal equipment that were just left lying around and also shoved into a corner. The dinner that night was really good, could not fault it. Enjoyed the pool table afterwards. We slept fairly well that night, bed was comfortable. Went for breakfast the following morning and I had to spit out glass that was in my poached egg. The lady that had cooked it was apologetic and genuinely mortified. The manager however appeared apathetic. Repeatedly said he doesn't know how it got there and that it has never happened before. Presented with a defensive manner. Made us feel like it was somehow our fault and that we caused this inconvenience. He said to give a call again and that we can have a free night's stay. We will definitely not be doing that as the place is going to cause harm to someone. It has potential but is clearly poorly managed.

Good service and was very reasonably priced, good place to start the north and northwest part of the full kerry coast experience. I can't fault the hotel or the staff and they do their best for the customer. I would love to see the hotel getting a lot of regular bookings throughout the year unfortunately its seasonal and a quieter in the off season, the hotel game is hard and the staff do their very best to provide a genuine experience.

We stayed one night last week. It was a very enjoyable experience, the owners are extremely friendly and helpful. They’re knowledgable about the area too. There was an incredible menu in the restaurant and it was obvious that everything was cooked to order. I had a steak and I’m still dreaming about it! I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Lovely relaxing ,clean ,best customer care ,and the food wow just wow ,first night had lamb curry ,next night there lantern steak ,yummy ,found a place to be having my steaks ,,all in all great experiece i recommend specially for families .

Host & team very helpful.

Cleanliness was OK. Communication was good. Location was OK, it is rather on its own, OK if you have a car.

La posizione comoda e la vista. Colazione nella norma.

Il letto grande, col baldacchino, le dimensioni della stanza, la presenza della vasca da bagno , personale gentilissimo, il ristorantino carino e la colazione con alternativa vegetariana

An excellent location for road weary bikers. Super friendly staff and an excellent dinner/breakfast. The bedroom was large and quiet The ferry was within 10 mins of cycling
