Top Emo Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Emo

The Killeshin Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is nice with two places to eat, an outdoor seating area, and a couple of floors with rooms. I had a room above the main entrance and while it was comfy, there was absolutely no noise prevention with either the window or the door. I could hear everything. There's a tag that offers ear plugs, but I'd rather see them invest in better sound proofing. The bed was firm, which I enjoyed. It's close to some food options as well in the area. I can't speak to the food options in the hotel as I didnt eat there. Overall comfy, but the noise was noticeable. Staff is very friendly."

The Rooms at Cunninghams

10/10 Excellent

"This was a very nice and big king room. It was located behind the bar so it was very quiet and the bar was very busy on a Sunday night. Would highly recommend!"

Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This was the most wonderful experience staying at Kilkea Castle. The property is steeped in history and was incredibly interesting to read about. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious, with some tasty variations on traditional Irish breads with soups. Breakfast was ordered from a menu rather than buffet style. We had a memorable experience and loved every minute!"
