Stayed here a few times. Hospitality was amazing, staff are extremely friendly, and food is absolutely gorgeous. Would greatly recommend anyone done near Cahersiveen to stay here. You will not be disappointed

We attended a wedding on Valentia Island & the reception was held at The Royal Hotel. As friends & family were staying in The Royal we also called in for meals & drinks.
The function room, staff & especially the food at the reception was excellent really out of this world quality!
The food in the restaurant bar was also very good (we had a breakfast, a lunch & a dinner) & again most of the staff were friendly & polite.
The only thing I couldn't recommend is the annexe (Market House?) that belongs to The Royal. It is quite tired looking & certainly not value for money compared against other more modern & better equipped holiday rental houses in Knights Town.
Just returned from a 2 night stay as a family of 5. Absolutely charming welcome by reception personnel. The room was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed. The bathroom, although small had a wonderfully powerful shower which was heaven after a very long drive ! Great bar/restaurant area. Cosy, inviting with fantastic staff. The service was impeccable throughout our stay. Breakfast was lovely and we had dinner one night which was fantastic and my 3 kids were really loved after. Portions are huge so order wisely!!! It's a simple hotel but faultless and even though we usually stay with family when we visit the area we are already planning another stay at the Royal Valentia.
A beautifully situated hotel. We had a lovely spacious room with sea view on ground floor. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Dinner and breakfast were excellent in a lovely spacious dining room area, and the restaurant staff were attentive and very friendly.
Staying here was a spectacular experience. We got the seaview room, and so every morning we're greeted by morning lights gently shimmering on the water. The staff here are excellent. They are very friendly and provide great recommendations for tours and activities. Particularly, we got a whole day tour with Ted Kennedy and he is the best. The experience was 10/10.
Stayed at the Royal for a one night stop over on a Wednesday night in December. Very few people on the island but scenery was beautiful. The hotel was very clean and had a traditional historical feel to it. The dining room is quite spacious and the bar area has a bit of character.
I had a nice steak sandwich for 16.95 and the Guinness was decent.
The room was a grand size given it was priced at less than 70 euro which is as low as you’d ever see in Ireland if you lived to be 100 years old!
Altogether a good experience and happy with everything. Recommended
