Lovely waterfront location, very walkable. Angela is a pleasure. The building is older and nicely renovated, but with the older building the plumbing was a bit loud. Enjoyed our stay.

Great accommodations, staff very nice. No lift and 3 floors up so if you can’t do stairs this may not be your choice. That being said, staff very willing to help with bags.

Location was great - water views from our room and in Dingle town - so convenient to everything. The room was clean and staff was friendly and helpful. We did not have breakfast there so can't speak to that. Parking was a disappointment because we expected to be provided parking, but were told to find our own free parking (available on the street) or pay for parking in the lot across the street (1 Euro per hour until 6 pm.) The rooms were small and looked like they were worn - they needed a refresh. Overall, it was worth it because of the excellent location.

At £175 (pounds)it was massively over priced and an extra £15 x 2 for breakfast. We didn’t have breakfast .
Room was clean but very basic, furniture old and dated. Not worth the money and would struggle to recommend.

Beautifully located, and just a great place to stay. Staff was extremely friendly and communicative, going as far as to to take up a cup of coffee and have a nice conversation. I would highly recommend staying here! I look forward to returning.

Great location for exploring the Dingle peninsula. Hotel is a bit old and could use some updates, but it was clean and had a friendly staff so it served our purpose of having a comfortable place to stay where we could walk to restaurants and shops and drive the scenic drive around the peninsula.

Place was clean and tidy. Rooms very small, the bed was horribly uncomfortable. Could do with a foam mattress topper and big fluffy pillows
