Check out reviews of Kells hotels guests love

The Royal Valentia Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love this hotel. Everything about it is beautiful; from the furniture, to the location, and the staff!"

Barr na Sraide Inn

8/10 Good

"This hotel was cute, welcoming, and clean! There is a free parking lot behind the hotel, which was so convenient. Just be aware - the entrance to it is quite narrow! The staff were welcoming and friendly and we really liked our room - it was nice, comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic! One thing to note - when we booked this hotel, part of the reason we chose it was because on Expedia it indicated that they had air conditioning. That is not the case. There was a small fan in the room, but no a/c. It was quite warm out, so the room was a bit warmer than we would have liked."

Base Accommodation Dingle

10/10 Excellent

"La location est parfaite"

The Europe Hotel & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"One of my favorite hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The attention to detail was incredible, and the location was fantastic. So many things to do around the area and within the resort"

Dingle Skellig Hotel & Peninsula Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was the relaxing stopover we needed on our wild Atlantic way trip. Each hotel guest gets one hour complimentary access to the spa facilities. There’s also a steam room & hot tub by the pool. The spa staff squeezed us in last minute, which we greatly appreciated! The newly renovated rooms are very comfortable - we all had a great nights sleep. The breakfast was included (even though it said we’d have to pay at the property on Expedia). I don’t normal leave reviews but this place should absolutely be rated higher!"

Aghadoe Heights Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Great location,facility and staff."

The Waterfront

8/10 Good

"The place was in a great location. Clean place and the ladies were lovely who run the place. Our only complaint we had the tiniest room I’ve ever stayed in. Our bathroom was in a closet and so was the shower. Good for one tiny person. Would get the larger room instead of the budget one."

Arden House

10/10 Excellent

"All good. (Did not have breakfast)"

Lansdowne Kenmare

8/10 Good

"The room was a little hot"
