It was in the centre of town, nice room with tea and coffee, clean and tidy, a good breakfast with cereal and a hot breakfast, plus the staff were very nice indeed.

In the heart of downtown, with it being walkable to things close by. It was central to Mahon Falls and Rock of Cashel. I messaged the property ahead of time that I would have a late check in. I didn't get a response. I did catch the girl at the desk and they were able to get things worked out for me. The two negatives were the lack of hot water and soap in the room.

Old hotel from a bygone era

I actually enjoyed it, but it’s old fashioned and they need to upgrade door locks and put extract fans in the en suite. Saved me driving to Dublin that night. The breakfast was first rate, cooked fresh, not like the cremated sausages I got other places on this trip. Staff friendly. Look, it’s old fashioned from the Heinrich Böll era 1950s, damp smell in otherwise clean en suite. Good value but they need to upgrade a bit, door locks barely close, not very secure. Could be noisy if a noisy crowd arrived. No lift. It’s a glorified B&B. But I’d stay again if travelling on my own and had enough driving for the day. Parking on street outside door in city centre was a plus.

Couldn't recommend atm

The toilet was leaking ... they knew that .. rolled up towel behind the loo ... but water was all over the floor.

The shower seemed to be broken, I couldn't get it to work.

Although there was tea / coffee in the room, there was no milk.

So no shower, no cup of tea ... not a good start to the day !

On a brighter note, although breakfast doesn't start until 8am, lady in the dining room, was able to give a sausage sandwich to take with me before 7.30 !

Apparently the hotel has been sold. So there might be brighter days ahead !

The late night staff member stayed half an hour late to check us in as our flight was delayed coming in so we weren’t going to arrive before the front desk closed. Excellent service!! The breakfast was amazing as well!

Loved the stay, super friendly staff and the breakfast was so nice! Sadly though there was what looked to be drops of blood stains on the sheets which was unpleasant as well as lack of hair dryer in one of our rooms. For the price though the stay was fantastic and in a lovely area even if finding parking was a hassle. Really chatty staff, generally nice rooms and great breakfast :)

You get what you pay for :-)

Fennessy's is an old hotel in need of some work...the cost of my stay was reflected in the price. It was cheap and cheerful. It certainly has character but it's not the Hilton. What it lacked in beauty it made up from the friendliness of the staff and the breakfast was pretty decent. The staff are I thinking making the best of a very average situation. So I have no real complaints. The Hotel Manager is pretty cool. I liked her manner and nature. :-) Room was clean and comfortable but it's also difficult maintaining an aging building that hasn't had a 'touch-up' in quite a while. It wouldn't stop me booking again as I know what I'm getting.....some less endearing hostels actually cost more so I've no complaints about the price.

The toilet had dirt in the corner of the walls.
The heater in the shower was broken doesn't work properly, therefore, the shower was too hot
No chair in the room
the bin was changed but the bed was not made the next day.
It was in town therefore was very noisy with people shouting.
During Check-in time the card machine wasn't working. the front desk lady bever heard of cards can be paid by phone and was crossed because I didn't have a physical card to take out money from ATM as I didn't have cash on me. Frantically I tried calling a few friends to help. Luckily the card machine later worked.

Breakfast was lovely and both ladies I met during my stay there were extremely nice.

Overall, very low-quality rooms you can hear everything from the next room and corridors.I will not be coming back.

Thanks

BEWARE!

Worst ever hotel experience. On hotels.com it showed check in was before 10pm. Arrived at 9pm to what was meant to be a hotel /bar. No sign of life. Just a door with no one answering the doorbell. There was a number to call underneath it - just went through to answerphone. Tried the number for the hotel that was on hotels.com, no answer there either. Spent half an hour outside the hotel on a deserted street, feeling vulnerable as a women alone and realising I had nowhere to stay the night, trying to get through to hotel / hotels.com to sort it. In the end had to try to find somewhere else to stay. Hotels were fully booked- ended up having to spend 120Euros to find a last minute room in one that was lucky to have space. I would not book with this hotel again following this terrible experience. I have since spent HOURS of my time trying to get refunds sorted with Hotels.com. Still not fully resolved. Nightmare and such a waste of my time.
