“Excellent hotel in town center”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

The hotel is located in Macroom town centre and is an ideal base to explore the scenery and attractions of Cork and Kerry. All staff were extremely friendly and efficient and couldn't have been more helpful. Spacious bedroom was very comfortable and tea and coffee facilities were provided. Large bathroom with bath and excellent shower. Free parking in large car park at rear of hotel. We had our evening meal in the bar and it was superb and excellent value. Excellent breakfast menu with top quality locally sourced food products. The lovely staff made this a most pleasant stay and we will be back in the near future.

“Over rated”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

Food was standard, nothing to write home about, husband got lasagna it was watery and tasteless and looked like it was flung into bowl,I got beef, it was nothing special, we got 2 sausage and chips between our three children, the waiter took execption to this and asked several times what were we ordering for the 3rd child even after I explained that a third plate would go to waste. €36 for the four plates of food was too much for the quality we got. Disappointing.

“We'll definately be back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

We really enjoyed our stay at the castle hotel, from the really friendly staff to the fantastic food. The leisure facilities were really brilliant. And the voucher we got when leaving ensures a return visit. Thank you Mr. Buckley and staff for a most relaxing weekend-just what the doctor ordered!

Room Tip: room 130 was spacious, clean and so comfortable, i would recommend it.

“Excellent Hotel-A must stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

Having looked for a hotel to celebrate a late Christmas break, as it had been a busy Christmas at work, we stumbled upon this Dog Friendly Hotel.We didn't know what to expect and were a bit nervous when we arrived but it turned out to be one our best hotel experiences.
The staff were fantastic, from having our breakfast delivered to our Room at exactly the time we ordered it, to the fabulous, Trish, at reception, who looked after everything we needed with a big smile!! The swimming pool was lovely and the massage was fabulous and our dog Rocco loved his little treats when he arrived.
In a time of recession, it is great to know that there is still somewhere here in Ireland that strives to achieve exceptional standards and quality with ease!!! Thank you so much-we will be back again for sure!!

Room Tip: There is a great deal of 200euro all in(2 nights B&B, 1 night 4 course meal and breakfast served...
