Best Hotels near Church Tower, Listowel

We arrived unexpectedly late to Tralee with no reservation. Stephen came to check us in within 5 minutes late into the night. We felt terrible, but he greeted us with kindness. The hostel is cared for, clean, homey and warm. The showers were incredible. We had a great nights sleep and coffee in the morning. However, we would have not known what to do late last night if Stephen had not taken us in (even though we were terribly inconsiderate and a bit, well desperate). It’s the kindness and hospitality we will remember most and would like to direct anyone coming to Tralee, wherever their journey takes them, to stay at the Castle Hostel.

Went as a family of 8, had pre booked our table. Sitting for half an hour before they even took our drink order! Another 20+ mins before our food came out, orders all wrong and our food was actually cold! Sitting waiting to order dessert for another half an hour while three young waitress were having a fine old chat, our table wasn't even cleaned off, so in the end after waiting almost 40 mins we stood up and left, without dessert, table still not even cleaned off. Went to pay and an elderly man was ahead of me, a male member of staff was arguing loudly with the elderly man saying that he had chips with his meal and the elderly man was saying that he hadn't, whether or not the poor old man had chips it was very unpleasant and unprofessional the way the member of staff was arguing with him in front of me. Anyway, it was a different member of staff that dealt with me and to be fair he was a lovely young man, I voiced my dissatisfaction to him but assured him it wasn't personal, just the service in general, he went to find his supervisor and after another 20 minutes wait he eventually came back, minus the supervisor and said that the supervisor had said to knock 10% off my bill. Well all I can say is our meal was ruined and it was a meal for my husband's birthday. I was also very unwell on the evening in question as I suffer from Crohn's disease and this added stress definitely didn't help. Would I go back again, not a hope! Steer well clear, lots of other fantastic places to eat in West Limerick/ North Kerry.

I read a lot of the reviews for Myles Creek before booking and they were varied to say the least so I want to give a very honest review of my stay, which was with my wife for 3 nights in August 2023. First off this is not a modern franchise type hotel so if that's what you are looking for it's not for you. The building is an old building and while the rooms are certainly dated in style our room was spotless and comfortable. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast has 3 options full Irish, scrambled eggs and toast or vegetarian, my wife doesn't like fried eggs so asked if she could have scrambled eggs with the full irish, the lovely lady who served us said this wasn't an option, seems odd but aside from that the full irish breakfast was delicious and plenty of it. The bar down stairs is a really nice bar that has excellent food and again helpful and friendly staff. So all in all in terms of bang for your buck I highly recommend Myle's Creek and I most certainly will return, just manage your expectations if a big fancy hotel is what you are after, think more family run, wholesome no frills and you wont be disappointed.

We had a wonderful stay at The Ashe. I have already been recommending the hotel to friends. Everything was perfect from start to finish but my biggest compliments go to the staff, they were all lovely to deal with and are a credit to the hotel. I always say it doesn't matter how nice a hotel is, the staff can make or break it and in this case they were superb. We had dinner in the restaurant on Saturday night and it was great. Lovely decor and the food was excellent. Same goes for breakfast both mornings. We stayed in a suite and the room was beautiful, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I already can't wait to return to The Ashe. Hopefully during the summer. Thanks to All for making our stay so memorable.

We booked Harty Costello townhouse after two previous bookings were cancelled. However when we were welcomed at the door on Monday afternoon by the owner, Jackie Hourigan, a very friendly and charming Irish gentleman we knew we were in the right hotel. The service was excellent and Jackie and his assistant, Sandra couldn’t do enough to make our stay enjoyable. The room was well presented, the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast was very well cooked. I would recommend Harty Costello Townhouse to anyone visiting Ballybunion. I sure Jackie and Sandra will treat you exactly the same
