It's just a shame there's no kitchen.

Stayed in October 2024

At least one small table in the room would be nice... :)

Great location, friendly, helpful host, good value for money

Stayed in August 2024

The shower was push button and lasts about 2 min. No tea or coffee in room.

The room was big with its own toilet and shower. Being hostel type accommodation it was what we expected. Well situated to vineyard Main Street.

No kitchenette facilities. It would have been handy a kettle and a few teas.

Having those extra shared toilets was great, moreover when is a family of three or more.

Showers weren't very hot, not so much of an issue in September but hopefully in winter they're a bit warmer!

Great location for exploring the Beara Peninsular and Ring of Kerry, it's a tiny town so everything is walking distance. Our host Maureen was hilarious although I'm not sure if she realizes it. Lockup storage for bikes is very handy, and the room was nice and clean.

Nothing to dislike about Failte Lodgings.

Caring kind and honest approach to all the people that came to stay at this lovely location. Maureen left us to enjoy our visit to Kenmare and even gave us a map to get around easier.

Very friendly reception, lady that showed us around the accomadation was very helpful and welcoming. My sister and I stayed in a private room with shared bathroom. Bathroom was spotless clean, ideal. Whole house was immaculate. Beds very comfy, sink in room. Location literally in the centre of town. Everything that was available/not available/ house rules were very clearly communicated so you know what to expect.

Could not have been more hospitable

There was quite a bad body odour smell in the hallway between the bathrooms and rooms. However I would say this was probably due to another guests coat that was hanging up rather than the fault of the accomodation.

Helpful staff at check in who gave good dinner recommendations. Basic but comfortable bed in a shared room. The bathroom facilities were clean and tidy.

It is quite expensive considering the quality of the room. There was a strange smell throughout the facilities, and the windows and doors didn't provide much sound isolation. However, I think it's acceptable for a one-night stay.

Central place. Friendly host. Showed the most popular bars and a quick tour of the town map.

Finding a spot to park was a bit of a challenge upon arrival but the problem was quickly solved

I like everything but it was especially nice making contacts with the staff and the residents

Maybe more outlets/extension power bars for all bunk beds to have plenty of charging options. I was good, got one by my bed but saw other roommates having to charge phones across the room. They were all still able to charge but in a group stay environment you feel safer charging right where you sleep.

Great location, amazing price, very comfortable bed in the dorm room. I have never seen proper thick mattresses on bunk beds, didn't leave much space to sit up on the bottom bunk but so comfortable and I didn't come there to sit. Host is very friendly and gave us great food and live music recommendations. Place was clean, felt like home.

Great hostel with a great view of Kenmare. The room was cosy and the bed was very comfortable to rest. The check in and check out were super easy. The receptionist made everything for our stay. The location is just a few steps away from the main street, and some coffees and facilities are nearby. I really suggest the hostel 💯💯💯

Great location as it's in the town centre. Friendly and helpful staff. will be back again

Upper and lowbunks are so close together you can't even sit on the bed or sit up in bed. Only 2 chairs in room for 8 bunks.

Clean, pleasant host , good location

Very central, spotlessly clean, great quality mattresses, plenty of hot water, friendly and helpful staff.

Stayed in June 2024

Check in times were very limited, but the host was very friendly and helpful.

Location and secure bike storage were excellent. Clean and comfortable and plenty of space. Central locations meant that it wasn't much of a problem not having access to a kitchen.

It was a great stay in Kenmare. The host welcomed me friedly and outside the working hours, because I had a long day of hiking.

No Complaints

Was passing through kenmare on friday 08th of sep 2023, and I said I'd look up accommodation just to see was there something within budget, and was delighted to see Failte Hostel open again as I hadn't being in kenmare for about three years. As I just flow with life now, and the price for three night so reasonable, I decided to book in for three nights. Lovely family run hostel and welcomed with a smile, stayed in sparkling clean 8 bed mixed dorm, spacious shared shower and bathroom facilities with were spotless, with beautiful warm running at all times of the day. Perfect Location just at the top of Hendry Street, If your like me and your looking for somewhere to just lay your head and shower as you go on your adventures around Kerry and West Cork your in an ideal location as a base. Hope this hostel gets all the support it deserves to continue trading in these times we're in, As a hostel is of huge importance in this central location for access to travelling around Kerry & West Cork. Enjoy Your Stay If You Decide To Book, & Have A Magical Time In The Beautiful Town That Is Kenmare✨
