The hotel is really a full services resort with an indoor heated pool, excellent exercise facilities, very good food, within walking distance of everything to do in Dingle and accessible to the loop around the Dingle peninsula. The views of the Dingle Harbor are lovely. Breakfast was great with a very attentive staff. Getting there from Kinsale was harrowing- the roads are very narrow, multiple large buses were coming from the opposite direction and it was raining hard.

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.

The hotel is just an easy few blocks walk from town. The real attraction here, that I missed until breakfast, is the incredible view from the dining room. The room had a coffee pod machine and there were water refill stations at the end of the hall. Staff was great and attentive. The bad: There is no air conditioning in the guest rooms (not needed while we were there), but especially with allergies, I’d prefer not to rely on open windows to keep things comfortable. They do have radiant heat that cycles on at night and we had some difficulty not getting too hot at night. It’s been a while since the hotel’s last remodel and while the property is clean. The rust in the tub was unattractive. I was disappointing that there were no USB chargers in the room. While most outlets were the standard 3 flat prongs, the bedside outlets had the older round prongs, so my adapters were of use. Another nit, I’m an early riser and the bathroom light switch isn’t the one closest to the bathroom door (it was the middle switch between two other switches) Fumbling around the dark, it was difficult to turn on the bathroom light without hitting the wrong switch and waking my wife. All-in-all a nice hotel and I would stay here again.

You spend too dollar for mediocre service here. This hotel chain is worried about getting you checked in. Room was decent (had a business room). Coffee maker wouldn’t work correctly. The shampoo and wash in the shower was broken. And the hair of probably the last five travelers was present on our pillows. Save your money and go a few miles down the road to Ceann. Proper service, friendly, accommodating, and very welcoming to tourist!

I think it was over priced. My shower didn’t drain so I had to stand in water the whole time and it wasn’t very clean. Room was very warm but there was a fan. When I ordered some room service the receptionist tried to challenge me to come down for my order instead of bringing it to me. I expected more for the price.

The Dingle Skellig Hotel is really quite wonderful. The rooms are neat and clean. The bar area with a fireplace was a nice cozy place to relax with a drink after a day of sightseeing and shopping. The breakfast buffet was really great - lots of great options plus you can order from the menu. We also loved the ability to fill up our water bottles with spring water.

Location wise the Skellig Hotel is a short walk to the town of Dingle whilst it has fantastic sea views especially from the dining / breakfast room. We booked a Junior Suite, however once checked in we were surprised at the size of the room and had to double check our booking. Room was fine, clean, bathroom spacious. However it was a king size bed yes, but not a suite. A “double room” size with a kind bed would be an accurate description. For the price point of the room we felt it was poor value. No water in the room and no biscuits to have with the coffee / tea that was provided. The tv was quite small and only had the free to air channels. Lastly the temperature of the room was incredibly warm, we left our windows open all day and all night and that helped however for a stay over in December with the wild weather it wasn’t an ideal resolution. Whilst this review may seem like it’s picking on small things, when you pay €420 for a junior suite you do have a certain expectation of the accommodation and comfort level you have paid to receive.

There are five star reviews, and two star…and I get both after staying here. The property is kind of creepy, honestly…we stayed in the “newer /renovated” rooms…but getting there meant going down corridors that seemed to go on forever. The “superior / king bed” room was small and each of us got lost Multiple Times going to or from the car to retrieve thing(s). Had spa services which were fine, not exceptional, the “relaxation room” was loungers in a sun room looking at the ocean. Overall, I wish the property would be updated. You can walk to town and enjoy Dingle, about 10 minutes away.

The facility is very tired, especially the fitness center. Some of the staff are absolutely spectacular while others seem not to know the basics of hospitality. As an example of the latter, when it was time for us to check out, we were given a bill for a spa treatment that we have been told would cost €55. When the hotel charged us €65, I asked for an explanation. We even called the spa to get clarification on the person who answered the phone said that the cost was €55, but she said she would check to make sure and came back and said it was €65. The fact that she originally told us it was 55 was consistent with what we had been told when we booked the treatment. The person at the front desk should’ve said, “of course we will honor the price that you were given,” but instead she said, “ I’ll make a note of it.” She even repeated herself, as if somehow that was good for me. Ridiculous.
