Reviews for Sneem Hotel
Review 1：The only thing this hotel is missing is a leasure centre. Or even treatment rooms. We got over this by visiting a local hotel. But this would not stop me going back to Sneem hotel, because everything else was perfect.
Review 2：I loved this hotel because it is modern and very stylish. The rooms are large and very well appointed . The location is a stroll into Sneem town. Where you have plenty to see and do. The staff are extremely froendly.
Review 3：The gym is the only area that lets the hotel down, they should either do it up or close it down.
Review 4：The staff were great, the room were very spacious and clean, the evening meal was amazing and the village itself was fab
Review 5：I expected the bar to be nicer and more comfortable. The bar menu was small. When we arrived we got a round of drinks which cost €9.50, 2 hours later the same round cost €10.50. We left and went to village for dinner and drinks in the end.
Review 6：The receptionist were great so helpful I think Geraldine was her name. Room was spacious and clean. The view was gorgeous and the lobby was very cosy.
Review 7：Add more fruit options to the breakfast buffet. If this hotel had a swimming pool it would be absolutely perfect
Review 8：Staff were very friendly, very clean rooms and good food.
Review 9：I love everything about this place. Always have. It's just amazing so peaceful and relaxing. They have a dog too which I absolutely adore. The staff are so nice here they will do anything for you and we had great chat with all the staff. We had the deluxe room which unfortunately due to weather we could not sit out on but it was amazing the views.
Review 10：Everything was wonderful. Friendly, efficient, helpful staff. Amazing food and great rooms. Hurricane Clodagh was raging outside but we didn't care. The open fire, friendly staff and general ambiance of Sneem Hotel made up for the bad weather. We really love this hotel.
Review 11：Nice big public areas to relax,one of the biggest breakfast rooms i seen in any hotel,and reception staff were very informative on the surrounding amenities.
Review 12：Room was just above outside air con units and there was a 'whir and Thud' all night long which was not restful at all.

Review 15：There was nothing to dislike I even loved the big old red setter dog who greater us at the front of the Hotel ?
Review 16：I loved the setting as it's surrounds and gardens were so private and tucked away picturesque. The Hotel itself had a lovely all round ambience about it last but most Important! the clenleness was superb.?
Review 17：Its not really a negative, but we were slightly disappointed that there is no entertainment/live music in the hotel bar.
Review 18：Sneem Hotel is absoutely Gorgeous. Rooms with a view do not disappoint. Very Stunning. Although Sneem does not have a beach, there is plenty of beaches and magnficant viewing points very close by. The ring of kerry drive is fab. Was great to spend a day travelling around and come back to the relaxed atmosphere and enjoy a tasty meal. Food is delicious.

Review 23：Food was not up to scratch. When I complained in a courteous manner. I was treated badly by a male staff member.

Review 53：The jacuzzi was not heated which was disappointed we had to leave it after waiting 15 mins hoping it would heat up the gym /jacuzzi area seems a little neglected - also given the tranquility of the setting very surprised there is no spa /or even beauty rooms in the hotel
Review 54：It's a fabulous hotel the receptionist was lovely the scenery spectacular the food was very good - as it was my hubby's birthday the hotel kindly gave us a complimentary upgrade to a beautiful sea view room it was a very large beautiful room and they kindly had left chocolate strawberries in the room as a surprise treat which was a lovely touch

Review 60：The breakfast was lovely , the rooms were v clean

If I know of anyone going around the ring of Kerry I shall recommend staying with you

Review 71：The size of the bedroom and that it had only bed.
Review 72：Dont stay here if you intend to use hotel wifi. Internet speeds were consistently below 1.0 (compared with about 35-0 to 50.0 in most european countries and many other Irish locations).

Review 89：It was very difficult to regulate the air conditioning and as a result the room was far to warm at night.. The Bar and Dining room were also very warm on Saturday evening 23rd. May.
Review 90：Lovely view though I find it interesting that the front desk asked if I wanted to pay 20 Euro more for a waterfront view, I said no I'm only in for one night, come to find out I got the view anyway so front desk wanted to scam us for extra money. Not something I'd expect from small Irish town.
Review 91：Beautiful view of lake and could be nice place to spend more than one night
Review 92：The staff were warm and friendly. The large bedrooms were very comfortable, easy access and great hot showers. The food was excellent and the staff were very accommodating for anyone with a food intolerance.

Review 94：From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and at home. The hotel is situated on the edge of the village of Sneem and just a pleasant stroll away. The scenary around the hotel is stunning. Our room was big and comfortable with all modern comforts. It was spotless as was the bathroom. Would definitely recommend this hotel
Review 95：It was a windy night and the window was noisy. Pour isolation. We wake up several times during the night and in the morning we fell asleep and missed breakfast. Complained at the check out and was advised that a manager would send an e-mail.... till today. Not very nice detail after spending 268euros in a one night stay. Poor customer service.
Review 96：Staff is friendly and the dinner is good
Review 97：Comfort and cleanliness o Hotel and warm welcome and friendly assistance of Management and Staff. Generously Spacious Double bedroom and excellent shower / bath / toilet and w/h basin in ensuite bathroom. Tasty Breakfast menu and good value deliciously tasty Dining Room Menus. Warm relaxing welcome atmosphere around open log fire in stone cut Chimney breast in comfortable relaxing entrance lobby / lounge of Hotel. Extraordinarily beatiful views of adjacent River Estuary and nearby mountains from Dining Room and Lounge and Bar :-) :-)
Review 98：Given room with no view when rooms with view were clearly not fully booked. Staff could do with a refresher course. They were there, that's about it. Didn't make much effort. The gym, hot tub etc was a disgrace. Very much an after thought.

Review 110：We had a really enojoyable stay at Sneem Hotel. It was the first time we bought are dog away and we found the room, (own side door outside the room door to enter and exit) very comfortable and easy to access to come in and out of. The staff were lovely and friendly and very accomondating. The hotel has its own red setter dog who welcomed us in. We could of stayed a few more days because we felt so comfortable. The breakfasts were lovely each morning, you could of had as mush as you wanted and it was really fresh. Dinner was great (seafood chowder was lovely) and the bar had live music each night. Really great stay and the hotel was new and modern in a great location that was a small walk into the town.
Review 111：Really didn't like finding someone elses boxer shorts in the room. How can the cleaners miss something like that and also a spec of blood on the bed sheet. The bar staff just seem to want to take your money not interested at all in making small talk.

Review 117：Bar and restaurant severely lacking in character and atmosphere. Could be any 3* hotel. Young girl on reception with old nail varnish chipped off and wrinkled washed out wrinkled pink uniform shirt. Not 4* appearance by a long shot. Pillows caused numb ears for both of us. Very stingy with tea/coffee supplies.Toilet paper absolute rubbish quality and very stingy with that too.
Review 118：Nice room,not 4 star though,good 3* at best.Staff lovely,particularly waiting and room service staff. Quiet room always a plus.

Review 120：The views from the beer garden, the village of sneem
