Valentia Island Hotels

Friendliness, Good Service, Informality, Cleanliness.

Very friendly and helpful hostess, nice breakfast, lovely springer spaniel puppies and dogs, wonderful views from the windows. Bathroom could do with an overhaul (noisy extractor fan, toilet roll fitting badly placed, elderly bathmat)

Central location. Decor and cleanliness were excellent. Check-in was delayed by an hour

The bar stsyed open to accomodate our late arrival.

the room was comfortable and the hotel was in a good location as a touring base with a good selection for breakfast shower not great. cold at night no heating on

Nice Comfortable clean accommodation, friendly staff and good food

the food was good but very expensive. the dining room service was good. We were refused a wake up call, told to use our mobile phones. Early golfer breakfast was not available, a poor cheese sandwich, a bottle of water and an apple was provided in lieu of breakfast. It was a poor show and we were embarassed to have to admit to our American companion that the hotel were not willing to provide proper service. The hotel is located directly beside the golf course.

The food was excellent rooms dated

very good breakfast, we did not have a room with a view, looking out on a side yard with a fuel shed on the side wall. Room comfortable, bathroom adequate

Very warm welcome, lovely individual rooms. Choice of breakfast, Irish, pancakes or scrambled eggs and bacon plus fruit, cereals, toast etc. Lots of local tourist information and very helpful when we asked about the new local boat tour, she also asked for our feedback as we were the first guests to go. Local dining would definitely recommend Dooleys but Shellin's which is apparently famed for its shellfish and seafood didn't offer it on the early bird menu, man was a bit grumpy when we went in, so we left. It's an area where it is worth getting to restaurants for the early bird menu as prices per head mean you can get three courses for just one main course - at time of writing 24.95 euros for 3 courses. Good base for Ring of Kerry half way Nothing.

the fact that on arrival we had to pay more that it was stated on the website. also breakfast that was supposed to be included was in fact not. they said it was supposed to be continental (which was not stated) but all you could get free was cornflakes.

The Location, Dirtyness, poor breakfest, price for the value
