My second stay here in the last year, as always the hotel was spotless and comfortable, the food delicious and plentiful, only problem was trying to understand the coloured guy on reception, he got a bit quick tempered with me when I had to ask him to keep repeating what he was saying.. Other than that my stay was pleasant.

Stayed here for a wedding. The room was desolate, very plain and dated. Could do with a makeover to match the lobby which was very lovely indeed. The price was outrageous, with a grand total of a discount of 5 euro for the wedding group, whoop dee do. Staff were friendly, but did not have much interaction. Honestly, would not... More

Just recently had a five day break with National Holidays and stayed at this lovely hotel. My friends and I all had a single room which included a double and single bed and was very spacious and comfortable. The food was good taking into consideration that there were quite a few coach parties in at the same time. It was... More

This was mine and my wife's first visit to Ireland and we were both very pleased with this hotel, the rooms are very spacious and the beds are also very comfortable. The staff are all very friendly and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. Finally the food is really top quality and always piping hot, so I would recommend... More

I would love to give this hotel top marks but we stayed two nights and on both nights there was a private function which was rather noisy, not just during the evening but after the events as the guests were leaving. The facilites were great, the rooms comfortable and clean and the visitor areas of very high standard as was... More

We stayed at the hotel last November while attending a wedding in Ballyseede Castle. In general I found the hotel clean, good value and fit for purpose. I would have given an average enough mark had it not been for the night porter who i believe was on a complete power trip. He was extremely rude to us when we... More

The Earl of Desmond is what I would call a "purpose built" hotel. When we were there as part of a bus tour, the hotel seemed to be a magnet for tour buses. Our stay there was full of adventure so to speak as well as a few idiosyncracies. When we got to our room, the fun and games started.... More

We stayed in the Earl of Desmond Hotel overnight for a function. First impressions are generally good, the lobby area is clean and well designed and the Front of House staff were friendly and efficient, although I must admit I am not used to paying up front for accommodation. The bar area was also well appointed and the staff were... More
