The setting of the hotel makes the most of the landscape and views to the one side. The evening service was a little distracted and the fish overcooked. For the price I think the breakfast should be included.

Liked: Staff & service
The Sneem hotel is an average tourist hotel, neither bad nor good. But while the staff are attentive, the hotel is in need of attention. For example, there are numerous cob webs in the restaurant where the curtain are torn; cleanliness is also an area warranting attention, both in our room and more generally in the hotel. The list is long of areas that have been neglected. On the plus side, the food is good overall, although the breakfast buffet is in need of improvement.

Great hotel on Ring of Kerry. Very clean with impressive views. After traveling the morning from Cork we spent a little time in Killarney for breakfast followed by Ross Castle( Jaunting/boat) then watched sheep dog demo at Kissane sheep farm. Perfect full day which got us at to hotel by 5pm with some break time before dinner in Sneem which is adorable, then drinks back at hotel watching sunset. The water view is spectacular. Hotel was perfect location for rest and relaxation after a full day of site seeing. Staff was friendly, rooms large and after having smaller bathrooms in previous stops was nice have more room! Great Hotel and perfect for our itinary.

Thoroughly enjoyed our brief overnight stay at Sneem Hotel! Very friendly and accommodating staff, and the bar/dining area was nice. Breakfast was outstanding! The cleanliness was mostly great, though some room service items were left in the hallway overnight and there were some signs of minor wear and tear. Generally would love to return and stay longer!
