The dining experience was enjoyable with delicious options, and the facilities were well-kept.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable, but noise from Sunday evening drinkers outside was a bit disruptive. The service was exceptional, with friendly and knowledgeable staff, particularly Caroline at breakfast. The location was excellent, right at the harbor in Dingle, but there were noise issues near room 107 from heating/generators at night. Overall, a decent stay with its ups and downs.

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The rooms were spacious and tidy, larger than what I usually find in Ireland, although my room faced the back of the hotel with a view limited to rooftops and chimneys. The service was exceptional, particularly the breakfast and friendly staff. The location couldn't be better, right in the heart of the marina in Dingle, offering easy access to various activities and attractions. The dining options were very good but could have had a bit more variety. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel is a great pick for a visit to Dingle and the surrounding area. The rooms are bright, clean, and comfortable, although it can be loud in the morning due to bins and bar kegs noise and a bit warm if you can't close the window. The location near the aquarium, dolphin tour, and the town's restaurants and bars is superb.

The hotel may be overpriced for what it offers, with small and dark rooms, but it's clean. The location is excellent, near bars and restaurants, while the service is friendly and anticipates guests' needs.

Rooms

The room we had was small and dark, probably the smallest we've stayed in, but it was very clean. We knew there was no air conditioning, and unfortunately, the view was of an alley without a fridge, forcing us to improvise to keep drinks cool.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The room was spacious and had a beautiful view overlooking the marina and hills, but it was too warm to close the window and there were some bar kegs and bins around. The service was exceptional as the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our early breakfast request for the Ride Dingle Cycle event. The location was perfect for exploring the peninsula but booking last minute made it convenient for a spontaneous trip. The dining, particularly the Italian food, was very good, although the room without windows wasn't the best setting. Overall, a nice stay with some minor issues to consider.

The hotel is centrally located in town, close to restaurants, pubs, and the waterfront, making it fantastic for exploring the area. The rooms, while clean and fresh, have some limitations like a low bed alcove, but the service from the friendly staff is outstanding. The dining experience offers a variety of Irish and Mediterranean dishes until dinner time, and the facilities are well-maintained. Overall, a great value for a stay with ample activities nearby.
