Maybe it’s an American expectation, but there was no help with luggage. You had to lug it up a set of stairs before reaching the heavy wooden doors, all while standing in the rain.
Once inside, the staff was friendly, kind of. They seemed to be good at all the wrong things.
The door to the balcony in my room was broken. Someone came to fix it, managed to break it further, and promised to add it to the maintenance list. He then told me I would be perfectly safe sleeping with a balcony door that would remain open all night. He assured me there were too many cameras focused on the building next door (possibly the spa) for anyone to attempt to enter my room.
The balcony outside connected all the rooms on my floor and was separated only by a small iron fence that I could easily climb over. I don’t know. This is not a budget hotel, right? Am I wrong to expect better service and a greater sense of security?
The rooms were fine and well-appointed. The bathroom was standard but perfectly adequate. The art, however, seemed very out of place. Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup Cans paired with typical pink Victorian designs? It just missed the mark.
The grounds were fine but could have been better maintained. In their defense, it is October and the end of the growing season.
All in all, I don’t think this hotel is worth the cost and given the opportunity I would not stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very courteous and attentive. Hotel is on a beautiful property, but it is dated. The room layout was very nice and comfortable but the furnishing were worn, chipped and dated. The hotel grounds were amazing.
The Park is definitely a worthwhile splurge. Room was well appointed and the staff was warm and friendly. Kenmare is a great backdrop for a wonderful trip. If I had to make a "complaint" it would be that the carpet is so thick and plush it made pulling the wheeled luggage challenging, but that is not a serious complaint.
It was perfect! In the middle of Kenmare yet totally private.
So many amenities and the service was excellent.
Our party of 4 was thrilled with this property.
For property that was opened up in the 1800s, there are modern conveniences and amenities. Location is perfect, the staff is friendly and nice, and the spa is over the top. The building is very old, but everything else gets an A+ plus. there was a concert of instrumental musicians in the lobby on the night that I arrived, which was extraordinary.
Incredible hotel and wonderful staff! Beautiful evening at their restaurant as well as the food was excellent.
Only frustration is that our room did not have air conditioning. Only some rooms have AC but our door opened which allowed plenty of air flow from outside.
We had a lovely stay at the Park hotel, well located only a 2 min walk from the town.
Food for both breakfast and dinner was good. Staff were attentive.
The swimming pool is nice and well heated. The setting with walk ways to the water edge was excellent.
Our room while no major complaints perhaps did not live up to expectations of other 5 star hotels we have stayed in the past but was fine. We had specifically picked the hotel for a family room with bunk beds but had a room with a pull out bed instead for children which was fine as they were small but would not be suitable for older children.
what a hotel :) and the team were just amazing, special thanks to the manager of the front desks to accommodates us and offer us even better room, during our stay every one in the hotel were amazing, so nice and kind and took care of our needs. I highly recommend this hotel if you want to enjoy 5plus star service and beautiful scenery, the great point of the hotel was it was in the middle of city too, so in a minute you walk out you were in the town which was nice.
Outstanding spacious property sprawling well maintained grounds ok restaurant disappointment with the infinity pool availability and miscommunication about working hours
Beautiful hotel and grounds but the staff was the best part! Everyone we came in contact in was lovely & so kind and accommodating. I'm not certain about all the rooms, but 222 did not have an outlet near a mirror which made it difficult to dry hair but that's the only con I have with Park Hotel.
