I have stayed in this hotel many times through my job. I would've always reccommended this hotel in the past to family and friends. My husband and I decided to have a few days away before the arrival of our first baby. It was my husbands first trip to the Lansdowne.
We stayed for 3 nights My husbands first impression of our room was "the room is very small" but I said, "we've a fine big bathroom and a window". (Outside the window was a fan which operates between 7am and 11pm daily)
Outside our door is a door into a hallway of rooms but honest to God it never banged closed as much as it did the past 3 nights. Its the type of door that has a soft close gadget which needs to be adjusted to prevent banging shut.
To add to my woes, we seemed to stay the 3 nights they had the rowdy guests staying. Loud, late and full of lager. They all sat in the lobby until 2.15am.
I ended up with 3 very restless nights instead of relaxation. I actually almost booked out of the hotel on Day 2 but my husband said "we're still having a lovely break away despite the hotel"
Now we did eat in the bar on our first night, and the 2 girls working there were welcoming and very efficient.
Our 3 breakfast mornings, lets just say on a scale of 1 to 3, Day 3 was the best. In the past, my favourite breakfast in hotels I passed through in my job used to be the Lansdowne now its a "thrown together affair."
On paying our bill, we did comment on noise levels etc to the receptionist but what good is it!!
Never will I darken the door of this establishment again, I will only ever say STAY ELSEWHERE!!

My wife and I loved this place. It made up for our long drive after getting lost from the main road. We were early for our check-in but the staff was able to accommodate us and get a room. The room had more than enough space for all our bags & stuff and was comfortable. There was ample private parking and it was great to sit in the bar and relax with a Guinness after a long day. Walking the town was easy and there are a lot of shops and pubs to check out.

Spent 2 nights here to visit County Kerry and avoid crowds in Killarney. Location was good for our purposes. Free parking – tiny spots so it’s good the rental car was small. Charming town with lots to see and do. Staff friendly and (included) breakfasts were outstanding. On the downside, the mattress was horrible and pillows really hard. The safe didn’t work and the room was small and smelled musty. On seeing good reviews this site, wish we’d just asked for a different room. We’d give them another try if we could be assured the bed situation were resolved.

Stayed for three nights over August weekend. Got a good clean room and a very good breakfast (only time ever offer whiskey option in porridge) at good value prices thus we were happy customers. Staff friendly, esp breakfast staff. Parked right outside door every time. Good restaurant selection in Kenmare, recommend Spanish restaurant immediately opposite and Prego - had a real buzz on Sunday morning. Avoid rooms at front of hotel on Saturday nights as a lot of street noise after pubs close.

I stayed in this hotel with a group of friends. The hotel was reasonably priced , with pretty decor and it was spotlessly clean . Also the breakfast was delicious, especially their award winning porridge which was melt-in- the-mouth.
