My family's short stay at the Kinvara Guesthouse was decent after a rocky start. Our initial room absolutely reeked of heavy perfume and the smell of smoking--although it's designated strictly for non-smoking--with the window wide open, chilling the room with cold air. It was clear they had been trying to disguise the smell, and it made my wife nauseous. Upon notification of the issue, the annoyed (owner? manager?) sent us back to the front desk, where the on-duty employee gave a lot of attitude to make the room change...in a mostly-empty property. The stay was mostly fine otherwise, except for the same employee at breakfast the next morning, removing items early and then again making a dramatic big deal of bringing milk back out (it was still minutes before designated end of mealtime). We were nice, polite and considerate all along, so I have no idea what caused such frustration for this man, but customer service apparently isn't his strong suit. If the face of the property handled things differently, I'd give this guesthouse a 4-star review.

Our stay was great. We didn’t need much just a stop along the way. Room was very clean and bathroom as well. Breakfast had what we needed to start our journey. No frills but we didn’t need any. Great spot for a quick stay.

We enjoyed our stay and dinner in pub the first night. We enjoyed the breakfast. The staff was helpful. The only thing I would improve is a place to get water or soda in a machine. We were parched when we got there and there was no bottled water in the room. Pillows were very flat and well worn. Room was nice. Glad we picked this hotel. Close to park to rent bikes.

I was not able to sleep well because the room was very warm. We were not able to open a window near the bed because the handle was broken off. When we inquired about not being able to cool off the room we were told they did not no when the lock would be fixed. We were NOT offered another room despite our complaint of it being unpleasantly warm and not conducive to sleeping well.Also the fan in the room was broken. The host was polite and kind. She willingly brought another fan and some ice to our room. Breakfast was only continental style with limited options.

We showed up after 9 pm and Keyla stayed late to get us checked in. Extremely nice and helpful. Fresh towels and beds made each day. Breakfast (included) was good and staff were very nice and accommodating. 3 or 4 pubs to choose from within 150 meters. We used this as a jump off point for Galway about 30 km away.

We were late checking in, but the worker left me a note either our keys and instructions. It was wonderful. It was super close to the ocean and a 3 minute walk to a wonderful pub that had amazing food and live music. It was wonderful.
