This is an old hotel -- 5 generations of the family have managed -- in the very center of this small and vital town. It is the "heartbeat" with music in the bar, good craic, super helpful and friendly staff, 2 weekly markets in their parking lot, and generally all that you go to Ireland for. Stay here. It is...

this has been my third stay at this hotel, I especially love the accomadation with little nooks and libraries off the landings where one can relax in peace, lovely staff, bar, reception area, very reasonable rates ( cost me 45 euro for a sat night b+b). Will recommend to all that I meet. More

Great hotel with very helpful staff who went out of their way to help me get settled into Clonakilty. The breakfast was good, too good in fact; if I had stayed there longer then I would have had to purchase a brand new wardrobe. Outstanding value. More

O'Donovans is a small family run hotel located right on the main street in Clonakilty - a great location. Ideal place to stay for gigs at De Barra's which is only a few doors away. This is a place with a personality, unlike most group run hotels these days. Friendly staff and a great breakfast. Would recommend. More

Well Clonakilty is certainly one of the most beautiful little towns in Ireland and... More

Great rooms, (the kind of shower you need after a long day at sea or the road, good blast of water on the neck). I cannot... More

In the beginning, I was slightly apprehensive about staying in O'Donovan's because of the cheap price. I was really happy we chose to stay here though. It's a lovely hotel in a perfect location. Also, the breakfast was included in our stay and it was excellent. The hotel provides a small car park free of charge which was located at... More
