Foleys Hotel was a busy pub and restaurant, with accommodation on first and second floors. A few flights of stairs to both floors. Popular place for dinner and live music. Food was good and breakfast also good. Music can be heard from your room until late, so keep windows closed. Street parking easy. Nice staff.

The hotel is in the heart of the action of Kenmare. Our room was on the third floor so we definitely got our exercise going up and down the stairs. The stairs are steep so if you have mobility issues make sure you get a room on the second floor (but you will still need to do about 20 steps). We needed to keep the windows open due the warm temperatures, there is lots of road and bar noise but it normally didn’t bother us. If the windows would have been closed we would have heard less. Staff was very polite and friendly. Breakfast was good!

Live music every night / loud hotel

Important to know the rooms are above a bar and restaurant which was not in the description at time of booking. Nightlife went on with live music every night - does not quiet down till 2:30 pm. If your looking guy a quiet relaxing room this is not the place to stay. If you’re looking to be part of the nightlife till early am then this is the place for you. Street parking. Room was clean and comfortable. Gave a 2 due to the noise we were not anticipating.
