Great place to stay on Valentia Island to explore the region. Staff was outstanding. Breakfast and dinner the one night we ate there were delicious. It was a pleasant experience to stay in a hotel that has been in business for over 150 years.

Hotel Stay

Overall a very good experience. Only complaints would be a bed mattress that was on the stiff side and a very very noisy exhaust fan in the bathroom. The surroundings on the peninsula were off the hook beautiful and don’t leave without driving out to the lighthouse.

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.

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.

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!
