Overnight in Dingle
Pros:

We were disappointed with the initial room as it was in the old part of the hotel and at the back facing the air conditioning units. It was very dusty also as if it wasn't used for a long time. I immediately went back to reception and asked to change to a different room and she apologised and offered me a room at the new wing. ( this was like the one I saw in the pictures when I was originally booking) Once we got our room it was beautiful and clean and very comfortable and bright. The rain shower was a bonus and it had a fridge and coffee machine which were a nice touch. Very helpful staff. Highlight was the breakfast.

Cons:

The initial room. But we changed it and they were helpful with this.

Wohlfühlort mitten in Dingle
Pros:

Super Lage, mitten in der Stadt somit alles fußläufig erreichbar. Sehr großes Zimmer, Highlight darin, eine im Erker eingebaute Bank. Ideal um morgens seinen Tee zu trinken und auf die Berge zu schauen. Die Lounge wurde mit Leben gefüllt und es werden noch mehr nette Aufenthaltsplätze für die Gäste angeboten und es gibt einen großen eigenen Parkplatz. Das Personal in unglaubliche nett.

Cons:

Uns hat alles gefallen außer, dass die Zeit wie im Flug verging.

A very enjoyable stay in a comfortable old school hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was excellent and we had deliberately gone for a larger room which was just lovely - facing out on to Main Street, very spacious and comfortable and a lovely big bed
