We booked the hotel due to food being served, when we arrived there was no food during the week and only at weekend which was not reflected on the website. Room was not as described, very small, en-suite had mould all in shower, ceiling and it was dirty. ( see photos below ). Bed was damp, cold, springs had gone in mattress, room smelt of damp, was cold, carpet dirty very worn and overall the room was dirty. Carpets in the hallway was dirty and worn, needs to be updated and some money spent in the whole living area. Overall the drive to the inn is not worth it, if you are a nervous driver do not go as the roads are very narrow, hairpin bends, single track roads and there is a lot of better inn/ hotels around and for a lot less money. I cannot understand how this inn can charge this amount of money for a one night stay. I would never stay at this inn again.

Fantastic place

Easy to find with friendly staff, the room was very clean with an amazing view and is only a short journey to the mountains. Made it back for dinner and the food is delicious with plenty of choice. Will be back to explore the area as I only stayed for one night. Thank you for a great visit

Beautiful surroundings

Spent 2 nights at Climbers Inn. The inn is in a stunning location in the mountains. The inn is a bit dated but clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful. The location will not appeal to everyone as it is deep in the mountains away from any major cities or towns.

Great for access to the Kerry Highlands. Friendly attentive staff, great little shop, lots of parking. The bar gets lively on the weekends (End of Apr 24) but you can't hear it from the accommodation. Good food menu & well set up for camper vans too. Would recommend.

Drive up the mountain was rewarded

Easier to find them expected as our GPS won't accept Irish Post Codes and places never give street number or name . So we put Glencar in and it's The Climbers Inn. Lovely room. Good continental breakfast. Really enjoyed our meal in the hotel well prepared and excellent taste. David the barman was very helpful. Met up with other international travellers and have a hiker a 60km car ride to save them trying to walk the trail in a storm.

Off the beaten path. A fine stay

The drive to this hotel was precarious, at best, but once we arrived everything fell into place. Off the beaten path. Wanted to experience different places to stay in Ireland and this was unique.Family room was a little tight for four adults but it was clean and the beds were comfortable. Totally quiet, except for the donkey braying all night, but we enjoyed listening to her. Enjoyed a delicious meal in the pub. Friendly servers. Breakfast provided was continental, yet filling. You could have ordered a hot breakfast. We didn’t. The only downside was no wifi in the guest rooms but we had media downloaded in advance and brought books. Little else to entertain you there but the solitude was a nice change of pace.

This is a fantastic place to stay if you are hiking in the area. The staff is super friendly and helpful, there is a restaurant and bar onsite that is frequented by the locals, and they have a store for all your hiking/camping food and toiletry needs. And there's a full breakfast avilable in the morning. And they'll even pack you a sandwich for the hike! Seriously, if you need anything just ask and they can probably help!

Sauberkeit war eher so naja. Das Zimmer und Bad waren dreckig und rochen seltsam.

Die Fassade der Unterkunft erinnert an eine Absteige oder heruntergekommene Bar.

Frühstück war für den Preis eine Frechheit. Es gab Toast, Obstsalat und Butter. Dazu noch eine Sorte aufgeschnittenen Käse und ungenießbarer Schinken. Wer mehr möchte muss 10€ p.P. zuzahlen und bekommt ein schlecht schmeckendes englisches Frühstück.

Diese Eindrücke wurden von allen anderen Gästen bestätigt.

Für 200 Euro pro Nacht definitiv nicht wert.
