Pros:

Breakfast, staff, bed, decor

Cons:

Shower drain was clogged. I forgot to tell them at the dest. I run an airbnb and that's something i find i have to stay on top on. Little bit of the draino liquid stuff. even if i'm not sure if it's clogged.

Stays should be paired with events at the theatres
Pros:

Location, ambience staff and food

Cons:

The bar was poorly stocked. No single malt. The fire was decidedly dull. Could do with some wood and more draught

I was very relieved to check out and get to my Dingle hotel.
Pros:

The staff is lovely.

Cons:

Dreadful room. I was FROZEN with cold. Barely any heat or hot water. I slept in my travel clothes
Almost non existent toiletries
The room needed a paint freshening but that pales in comparison to the COLD.
All effort is expended on the public/dining areas and if my room is any indication the accomodation for hotel guests is sub par.

Lovely hotel, lovely town.
Pros:

Lovely typical Irish country town hotel. Loved that they had a few vegan options as part of the regular menu (and the food was excellent, as was the Guinness) in the bar/bistro and had vegan options for breakfast without me having to look for special treatment.

Cons:

Nothing really. They didn’t get full marks for price, but where in Ireland does any hotel stay feel like value?
