Nice (mostly)
The room and stay were very nice A bit overpriced as lots of things were closed due to a November off season timing Looked forward to a visit to their lounge for drinks and music We were seated and then without being served 4 songs later we left disappointed

We spent more time in Dingle (3 days) than in any other place on our Ireland journey and were so glad we had planned it that way. Our stay in Dingle fell in the middle of a busy itinerary and we needed the break. Although we drove the Slea Head drive on one of those days, each day was so relaxing and we wanted for nothing. Thanks to the staff and the people of Dingle for a lovely experience! —Mark and Deana Riley, Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Please advertise that there is only one guest washer and one guest dryer for the entire facility. This was problematic and we would have made a different plan had we known.

Great property, lovely location. For a “Spa” hotel, it was NOT relaxing. The majority of people staying at the hotel were children. I understand that many guests are tourist families with kids, and the hotel cannot be held responsible for screaming children. But if you want to relax and recharge, this hotel may not be for you.

I had the privilege of staying at this hotel again. The hotel is wonderfully clean, has a great breakfast, a nice bar and provided entertainment. The surrounding views of Dingle bay and the mountains are breathtaking. It has an easy walk into town as well. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Really grubby and dated rooms. Charged another 30 euros to upgrade to a newer slightly more acceptable room. Found packs of mouldy gluten free bread on offer at breakfast, cheap, cheap catering orange juice, and poor standard bacon and sausages. We will definitely not return.

This property had gorgeous views. It was walkable to downtown. It had free parking and free breakfast. The rooms were a bit aged, but that’s all a part of the experience.

The hotel is located very conveniently to walk to town and the view is beautiful. Check in was at 4 and we arrived at 330 and room wasn't ready. No big deal. They said they would let us know when it was....never did. Then we went to desk and it was ready. They had kept our bags and said they would be in our room....they weren't and were missing for over 30 minutes. The room stunk badly. It was musty and overwhelming. Then we went to the bar and everyone was confused because we were not listed as the correct room and they acted suspicious of us....and they never fully fixed this issue. I would never return.

We upgraded our room to a suite because the original room smelled funny and was so small we were running into the furniture. Because this was the end of our trip we had some laundry to do. The information provided said the property had several washers and dryers for guest to use..there was one. The front desk only said “it’s first come first serve”… that was obvious and not the issue. Had we known we would have used the laundry service they provide. I found it interesting that there was never an apology for the inconvenience. This may seem like a small thing but we were mislead and spent the evening running back and forth to the laundry room. Apologies go a long way and not once was it said. The grounds around the property were not maintained…I just missed stepping in dog poop but unfortunately stepped in vomit. I absolutely loved Dingle but wouldn’t stay there again.

Lovely location on the waterfront. The bars and restaurants were terrific, staff very friendly and helpful. Sadly our room was old and tired. We have stayed in many hotels over the last two months and this was one of the most expensive and definately not worth the $A460 (€300) per night we paid. Probably half that would have been reasonable.

Dear guest, We are sorry to read your feedback. The hotel dates back to the 1960’s and air conditioning was not a feature of the build. We do ask that if you have any issue regarding your stay while here that you bring this to our attention to allow us to rectify any issue if possible.

The property is a short walk from town sitting close to the water. The breakfast was very good and they had bonus amenities like a washer dryer. If you had children there are a lot of attention to things for kids

I hadn’t stayed at the Dingle Skellig Hotel in over 20 years. The hotel is still one of the best in Ireland - and continues to have the ethos of very helpful, courteous, friendly and professional staff that I remember. We enjoyed a lovely Breakfast. Dingle Skellig Hotel Is an excellent place to stay.

A lovely hotel, ideal for a short break to explore the wonderful scenery around Dingle. The hotel is an excellent venue for weddings, we saw two taking place and the hotel was capable of dealing with wedding guests and other guests without any problems. The staff were first class and the food delicious.
