Most AMAZING hotel in Dingle Ireland. If there were more then 5 stars, I would give it. Beds were so comfortable, shower pressure was amazing, staff was helpful, caring and polite. The place was immaculate!!! When you wake in the morning and see to workers on their hands and knees with a bucket of cleaner and rags cleaning the baseboards, you know they take pride in the place. Breakfast (which was included) and dinner (not included) was perfect! Our waitress Caroline, for both mornings, was spectacular. Location was right in the middle of town across from the harbor. If you have any reservations on this place, dont... book here!!!!

This was a unique experience in the middle of winter. The warm welcome from the friendly staff along with the roasting fire in the bar made this experience exceptional. The loss of electricity in the town was overcome without panic and once we got power back we continued to watch Munster get yet another victory in the Champions Cup against Stade Francais. The bedrooms were comfortable, spacious and exceptionally clean. The breakfast served by a Canadian native, who loves Dingle, at 7.40 am was superb and in my view the 'icing on the cake' of a wonderful visit.

The service is outstanding. Such wonderful hospitality by Caroline who is welcoming and warm. The full breakfast is included and the food is top-notch. The attached restaurant’s food is too and their staff is terrific. Location, location, location. Right across from the harbor and an easy walk everywhere in town. There’s a dedicated parking lot for the hotel as well too which is helpful since summer is high season for tourists and parking is at a premium. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the windows keep any noise out so it’s very quiet. Highly recommend!

Our New Year’s Eve stay at the Dingle Bay Inn was fabulous… perfectly located right in town and across from the harbor. Our room was surprisingly spacious, beds were comfy, and the shower had good pressure. We had dinner at Paudy’s and breakfast at the hotel, both excellent. Caroline’s presence made breakfast especially delightful.. she is the quintessential Irish hostess.. so pleasant, so helpful. The young girl at the front desk was also very helpful, giving us recommendations and making multiple calls to find us a cab on their busy New Year’s Day. I wish I could have stayed longer!

A charming hotel on the exterior however the room we had was old, the mattress desperately in need to be replaced. The bathroom also needs a deep facelift. We wished the hotel had sent us an email prior to arrival to explain how to access parking in the back of the hotel and how to access the hotel from the parking, that would have saved us time turning round and round to find public parking space at arrival. Perhaps because we booked through a third party that we did not receive this information beforehand? The person at the front desk was helpful and the ladies working at breakfast were very nice in giving us a more than satisfactory first meal of the day. I hesitated between an "average" and "good" but because of the poor sleeping quality, the experience we had was at best average.

Read other reviews, very consistent feedback here! Staff is excellent: Ann and Caroline plus the friendly young ones made for a nice stay. It was fun to walk out the door and be at the harbor. There is a nice loop walk around the harbour area and out to a point and back again. Nice shops all round. Find out about parking and the second floor access before or on arrival because you don’t have to park in the harbor lot. And, you don’t have to drag suitcases up and down stairs. It’s easy once you know the drill. Rooms can be a bit variable in an old building like this- we had a lovely corner room with two windows but heard some HVAC noise/vibration. Friends only had skylight windows but no noise (despite being up near the street.) Pick your poison if you arrive and have the luxury to do so (i.e. the hotel is not full at the time.)
Breakfast is great and starts early. All rooms are clean and comfortable. Perfect location if you don’t want to have to drive to and from town

Dingle Bay Hotel is located in the heart of the town! Rooms were very spacious and clean. Daily breakfast was delicious and came with our room which was a great plus. Lots of great shops and pubs steps from the front door. The hotel is connected to a restaurant so if it is raining you don’t even have to leave the building. It is across the street from the harbor to catch any boat tours.

Check in was easy, parking is handy behind the hotel. The location is ideal right on the marina and central to everything Staff were very nice in all aspects of the hotel. Food- breakfast was made to order and was tasty, quite enjoyed the potato cake. Lunch -soup was fab especially in the cold weather. The rooms are quite basic. The bed was small and on both nights my boyfriend and I didn't sleep too well. Because there are keys to each room, we were woken up with people opening and closing doors regularly, many of which slammed shut. Our room also had a light from outside which glared in and really it was noisy because the walls were thin. Other than this we enjoyed the space but without sleep we were tired in our trip unfortunately

Location was amazing with easy walking to local shops and restaurants. Staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent. Rooms were everything we hoped (hotel may be haunted), would highly recommend. Will definitely be back next time we are in town.
Staff recommendations all were spot on and greatly appreciated.
Very close to local hikes (Eask Tower was a short drive and provides an amazing view of the town/bay) and there are many historic sites around the peninsula. There was no trouble with access despite it being November.
The hotel is attached to a pub which has really good food (especially the deserts) and drinks.

This is a great place to stay. Staff is warm, friendly and competent. Calling out Molly, Caroline and Thomas for special applause. Everyone goes above and beyond. The price is very reasonable especially since a hearty breakfast is included. The hotel is clean and warm and comfortable. I recommend wholeheartedly!

As G97B said there is a decent sized car park in the rear of the hotel and an alley that connects the car park to the hotel. There are a couple of stairs leading up to it but its a very short walk just from the back of the hotel to the front. We unloaded our bags at the front of the hotel on the double yellow lines. There is plenty of room for cars and trucks to get by.

Look and book on the website. They have lovely rooms with 2 double beds. Some hotels in Ireland actually have three twin beds in the room. Read the room descriptions closely.
The double bed rooms are pretty common.
Have fun and get ice cream in Dingle!
Yes, you can book directly and I would recommend doing so because of you particular needs. I'm certain that you will find the hotel staff helpful! dinglebayhotel
