Locals come first

2.0

We had dinner and were just having some after dinner wine when we were asked to vacate the table for two people who wanted to eat. Unfortunately they didn’t order any food and just sat drinking a few pints for the evening. Not a nice way to be treated by hotel staff

Wonderful historic hotel, we would come back here.

10.0

This is a historic hotel with good size rooms and an amazing view of the harbour. Lots of history here, very good dining room with excellent food and service. The bar was friendly and service very good. The whole island was very interesting and there were many wonderful views of the hills and ocean. Many interesting shops here.

Great Experience

10.0

We had a wonderful stay at the Royal Valentia, to include dinner. A great stay with water view and a terrific meal in the restaurant. The lamb shank and hake were perfectly done. Great bar environment. Staff is terrific. Highly recommend a stay.

Under whelmed and poor value for money.

4.0

To be honest, the Royal Valentia leaves a lot to be desired. I don't know whether it was because we visited off season (October) but we were most definitely underwhelmed. We thought the hotel was grubby, the welcome at reception was poor (robotic), our room was dirty (corners not vacumned, cold tap ran hot, shower head needs replacing), the restaurant food was, at best, bar food quality, the restaurant service was poor (including forgetting part of our order). The breakfast was better, but again the staff were cold and uninterested. Overall, underwhelming and very very poor value for money.

Quaint hotel with nice view of the water. Close to our excursion at Skellig Michael the next morning. Quick breakfast and they opened early for us due to our early departure. Room was clean, bathroom layout was a little tight with door hitting the toilet.
