Great friendly Hotel !!!
Had a fantastic time at the Royal Valencia Hotel. Got upgraded to the four poster bedroom for two days because of a plumbing problem in our room. Gorgeous view at the front across the bay. Breakfast was good, maybe keep an eye on items running out. Dinner was lovely, staff very friendly and helpful. Got to land on Skellig Michael which was our intended trip, brilliant.

Great for Visiting Skellig
Great food, both breakfast and dinner. Good location for Skellig traips as long as you have a car, 10 min drive from Portmagee. Room decent space for travelling (room for cases). Toiletries provided. Good buzz in bar and good choice of beers, nice seat outside overlooking the inlet.

This is a three star and it’s safe and clean. Very tight and small, breakfast is ok, no biggy. There are not too many places around as this is a small town but quaint.

Very quiet town
Listed building. Probably needs some touch up. Because of its age, could hear other rooms and footsteps all around. Surrounding was very very quiet… empty houses and nothing much else.

We had to wait quite a bit to check in, there was no one at the front desk. We were also told there was no breakfast until 8am, but others were in eating before that. Cleanliness no the best, bathroom floors were dirty. Very charming though, some other flaws that are to be expended with the age.

My family and I loved the Royal Valentia Hotel. The staff could not have been nicer and were so helpful during our stay. The hotel has been lovingly restored and the rooms were spacious and well appointed. The pub/restaurant attached to the hotel was one of our favorites on our trip. It had such a positive feel and to us was the quintessential of all good things Irish. Our stay at the Royal Valentia was absolutely perfect!

This is a charming property. Conveniently located, with a wonderful restaurant and views of the mainland and bay. Reservations are usually required at the restaurant; the food was good. Our room, on the first level, was oddly shaped and likely renovated from a previous life as a side entrance. It was awkward and the noise level from adjoining rooms was not pleasant. We listened to the next door guest snore all night
