Inside the hotel was nice. Wood stairway. Pretty bar. Staff was very friendly and nice
The bathtub was dirty and we didn’t use it. This was a problem. I didn’t realize until we went to take a shower before bed so couldn’t ask to switch. That was not good.

Location was great. The staff were super accommodating. The food was excellent.
Unfortunately a main water main broke leaving the entire area without water. However, the staff were so apologetic about it and tried their best to keep jugs of water for the guests. The fact that the staff worked so hard to make everyone happy, made this inconvenience much more manageable.

The River Island Hotel was absolutely stunning! The service and food exceptional, excellent value and such a great location to explore County Kerry! You cannot go wrong with staying here, the locals are all lovely as well, be sure to pop into the pubs next door and the antique shop across the street!
Not a thing - except maybe if I could have stayed longer!

Wonderful yesteryear hotel! Delightful property and great staff - especially the 'older' gentleman managing the breakfast area! Reception personnel were exceptional - friendly and helpful! Castleisland is a very charming smaller town with many amenities and close to Killarney. Would recommend highly!
The fact that we had to leave!

The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We ate dinner at the restaurant there. Food was tasty, serve impeccable. This hotel lobby is grandiose.
The fire alarm rang not once, but twice. Once at 6am, then again 6:15 am. UGH! Other than that, our stay was fine. I did have to ask for a hair dryer. It wasn't in the room.

The hotel is quaint and has charm and is centrally located in Castleisland and the staff were very nice and friendly
Breakfast was not up to standard for an Irish country hotel. Our room was nice but there was water leaking through the windows (admittedly it was raining very heavily) and the (small) double bed was a bit too small for two people.

Beautiful Hotel. Loved the Entrance, looked inviting. The reception staff were very welcoming and explained the information really well.
The room was lovely and fresh when I walked in. Very clean and comfortable. Had tea and coffee facilities.
Housekeeping were very obliging and helpful during my two-night stay.
The staff in restraunt were very welcoming and accommodating and made sure to keep checking I was ok for everything. Did this with everyone.
Had an evening meal one night, Brie and the Tempura Prawns, I recommend. Also breakfast the next day, loads to choose from and very tasty. Lunch/evening I had the Chicken and mushroom vol au vent for mains, very tasty.

The hotel was beautiful, the staff was wonderful, the location was good. We enjoyed an enjoyable meal in the bar/lounge. Then was able to walk down the street to a local pub for traditional Irish music.
Fans in the rooms would have been nice since it was very warm that night. One of the windows was broken and won't open making it harder to sleep.

Eggs could have been less well done at breakfast. Very friendly staff. Nice furnishings.
Parking could have been offered?
Thank you for your information!
