The location was beautiful, right on Dingle Bay and about a 10 minutes walk from town center. However, overpriced for what it was. The room was very musty smelling and stuffy. There is no air conditioning, only a fan (I suppose due to the mostly cool weather year round). I found several hairs - one on the desk, some in the bedding, and one on the floor of the shower. That in itself makes me cringe. I also had trouble with the internet connecting during my three-day stay and had trouble with the TV (remote wouldn't connect and someone had to come restart the tv, and limited channels when I wanted to watch the Olympics). I got a burger from room service and it wasn't very good. Breakfast is included and nice. The Coastguard restaurant located within the hotel is very good (and expensive).

STAYED IN AUGUST 2023-ONLY GETTING TIME TO WRITE THIS NOW:
I don't write reviews but I feel compelled to as I would prefer somebody to know what they are getting into! It's not that there was anything 'wrong' with this hotel, its just that it is SO overpriced that it's quite remarkable. We stayed in high season so we knew it was expensive and had no choice as we were attending an event meaning we had to stay those dates. I had stayed here years ago and it was dated then..it is still very dated. If you are lucky you will get one of the more updated rooms but even then the corridors etc are old and grubby and narrow and dated. The main areas-reception, restaurant etc are updated and look nice. There is a nice view from the restaurant but a group of us stayed and only one of us had a nice view from their room. We overlooked a field, back of houses and funeral parlour! The saving grace years ago was the buffet breakfast...what has happened to it?! There is now a cold buffet (breads, pastries, a few bits of hams and cheese and some mackeral, a few cereals and a few juices) and then you must order your hot breakfast from a very small menu. And while we are speaking of small..the full irish breakfast was 1 sausage, 1 rasher of bacon, 1 egg, 1 piece of white pudding and black pudding and a half a large mushroom...all on a small rectangular plate. We wanted to get our stuff and leave at that point. We had spent one night squashed into a small dated room, roasting hot, thinking at least the breakfast might save this. There are coeliacs in our group. There was a table of gluten free breads, pastries etc all looked lovely but all still frozen and we had to keep flagging down staff to ask could it be heated. English seemed to be a problem and so we just gave up. We went to the town for breakfast afterwards-imagine after that price, going out for breakfast! It has the market because of American tour groups and there is no other competition in the area in terms of a large hotel, but my God its so overpriced-pay it if you can afford to feel robbed and money isn't really an issue. There are 2 pluses: The kids club was very good and the swimming pool and changing rooms were impressively clean-remarkably so actually. We are not picky people-we will give credit where credit is due, but this was just a complete rip off!

We had an amazing time staying at this hotel last week, it was a special stay for us as it was my birthday and my return home from a year abroad and my boyfriend and I absolutely loved it here, every staff member was so kind and friendly even down the the housekeeping staff who always said hello in the corridors! Special mention to Kirsten who was such a great help to us and so good to us from start to finish!! The team here is amazing we can’t wait to come back again our room was fabulous and the hotel team made our stay so special for us can’t thank you all enough!
We will be back!
