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.

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!

Nice hotel, great views of the bay and convenient parking. Food in the bar was excellent with the exception of the ketchup, very watery. Staff were excellent, especially in the bar. Room was lovely, very spacious and clean. Unfortunately the seals are gone on the windows and it was noisy from the road outside.

Best place in Bantry

Comfortable bed and pillows! Large room with the King bed. We had a tub and a shower. Breakfast fabulous and restaurant and bar food also fabulous. We have stayed at other accommodations in Bantry but we like the Maritime Hotel the best. Great location in town near the bus stop for Cork and near restaurants and shops.

Easy to get to and walkable to local shops and restaurants. We had a second floor room that was on the roadside and was a little noisy. If you want a hotel that’s easy to get to with parking and a great location this is the place.

OK but overpriced.

It was fine. It was under some renovation at the time but it didn’t disturb. It is just a very average corporate hotel. For the same price or a little more you can stay in a more charming residence all around Ireland.
