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.

Such a great location, especially with a waterfront view room! It was nice to have a little more space in the room after several locations with tighter quarters.

Charming very tidy, well maintained hotel nestled in the middle of choice restaurant, artisans and other quality vendors. Features a beautiful view of Dingle Harbour. Attentive, friendly staff. I would return for another stay here easily. Fantastic & friendly seafood only restaurant, Out Of The Blue, only a short walk from the front door.
