Valentino Hotel

Excellent. The owners are lovely and very helpful, room was cleaned everyday without fail. Fabulous pool that we had to ourselves nearly every day would highly recommend

.

Excellent stay all around

Good Hotel near the airport

The Valentino offers a basic clean room and property with pool for a reasonable price… Good value for the money…UNLESS You are a non-smoker and cannot stand to be near smoke. The manager and family are very friendly, but they hang out in the lobby all day and evening and smoke nonstop while they watch TV. The lobby could otherwise be a nice place to sit and play cards or visit over a drink as it has nice furniture. But the family takes over the lobby with the loud TV…and smoke. So beware if you don’t like to be around that. The problem is compounded by the fact that they claim there is Wi-Fi in the rooms, but we did not find that to be the case. So we had to be in the lobby for good Wi-Fi in a very unpleasant environment. Everything else was pretty good… 7 minute walk to the stony beach, and about the same to the main street with a number of restaurants and shops. We only stayed here because of the proximity to the airport and were flying out the next day. Otherwise, there really isn’t anything that compelling in the area to justify staying there. In the future, I would probably just stay in Rhodestown and ride the bus to the airport for €2.5. We paid €17 for a 5 minute taxi ride.
