The Maritime is always an amazing treat to look forward to in Bantry. It has incredible staff, a great standard of cleanliness, amazing amenities, delicious food and within walking distance of Bantry town itself. You’ll enjoy great views of Bantry Bay from your bedroom window. Everybody should have it on their list.

Staff were helpful at check-in and in the bar. Cleaning staff didn't service our room, so free tea, coffee and milk supplies were not restocked. Bathroom was looking tired around sink.

Clean and quiet room with a lovely view. Bar was great too- all the servers were friendly and helpful. I used the jaccuzzi and that was nice. The access to the carpark was easy. We would recommend this hotel to friends.

The Maritime had a luxurious feeling about it at a very reasonable cost. The room was very nice and I was cheerfully given a harbor view room upon request, the facilities were clean, staff was friendly and the food was excellent. The breakfast buffet was great with plenty of choices and quality food. Nice bar with a good menu. Conveniently located within close walking distance to downtown, one doesn’t require a car to visit the town. Overall, a top shelf stay.

Great location on the edge of Bantry downtown, walkable and easy access. Rooms were very nice, clean and modern. Parking is underground (accessed across the street) we found ample space and good access to the hotel. The only issue we had was with breakfast, we choose the room service card on the door and ordered a bowl of oatmeal each. The card was not priced, but when we went to check out the cost with room service ended up being around 50 euros, which was our most expensive breakfast in 3 weeks touring for a bowl of porridge. Buyer beware!

Beautiful stay, wonderful room with fabulous amenities (great quality organic local toiletries) Very welcoming staff. The restaurant and bar staff very attentive, with great dining options. Comfortable bed with delicious breakfast in the morning. Sadly I didn’t have the opportunity to use the leisure centre as took a stroll around the beautiful town and harbour. Great history and stunning surroundings. Great location, would recommend 100%

Beautiful hotel with great dining options on-site. Parking for our car was included and a very short walk down the street. Staff were friendly and helpful. Made use of the on-side pool & sauna facilities. Great location for walking to nearby restaurants/pubs/shops.
