Tiny

Room was very, very small. Not possible to lay a standard carry on size suitcase on the floor and still be able to walk around bed. Toilet and shower were in tiny separate closets. No hot water in shower one morning.

Lovely, small hotel right on the marina in the very nice town of Dingle. No lift, so getting the suitcases up the very small staircase was a challenge, but not a big problem. Very nice staff person at check in. Street parking.

View was great. Room was nice. Staff was friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, in one of our rooms the toilet required flushing at least 5 times per flush to empty the bowl for the entire time we were there (2 nights).

This is an older facility - the room is small, but clean. The staff is wonderful. Parking was free on the street. Our room faced the harbor - beautiful - even with lousy weather. Not much open at night due to poor weather. We managed to fine a good pub. Breakfast was wonderful!

This property is clean and the staff very nice and helpful. Our room was small and somewhat noisy. It is an older building so walls are thin and we could hear the people in the next room talking. There is Parking available on the street in front of the building and it is free however there is not always a space available. There is a parking lot across the street that is free from 5pm to 9am. Outside those hours you have to pay to park.

The town of Dingle is just amazing and this hotel is so amazingly positioned. It is a cute little bed and breakfast type vibe. Walking distance to everything you might want. The lady at the front is so incredibly helpful. Would 1000% come back
