In der Nähe gibt es einige sehr schöne Strände. Wer die Dingle Panorama-Straße Slea Head fahren möchte, sollte das im Uhrzeigersinn machen!
Wir hatten ein rollstuhlgerechtes Zimmer und für uns hing das Waschbecken sehr niedrig und war auch sehr klein. Es gab keine Abstellfläche am Waschbecken.
Was excellent breakfast
Mybe bigger evening menu
Habitación espaciosa y limpia
Baño muy incómodo
Le personnel est top ! La chambre est spacieuse, belle vue. Petit déjeuner copieux et bon
We had a lovely top floor room with skylights and a sea view. Nice comfortable king size bed. Bathtub was a nice bonus after a long day in the car. Pubs literally across the street for dinner. Delicious lamb stew! Breakfast at the hotel was buffet style and had lots of choices.
Can’t think of anything

The wine list
Stanza con vista spettacolare, termosifoni accesi, l'ideale per asciugarsi dopo la pioggia del giorno....
Lovely large room. Friendly staff and great food. Parking was easy and always nice to have a lift.
Great spot out of town which was lovely, great little village.
A bit stuffy doe to no air conditioner.
The views were nice
The pillows were very hard and flat and the towels were threadbare
Hôtel avec impression d'être au bout du monde. grande chambre familiale / lits confortables calme Restaurant sur place
salle de bain un peu dans son jus
Liked the room we booked, asked for a sea view and got it. Room was very spacious with huge bed. Table and chairs as well as desk. Suitcase base too, very useful. Bathroom good, asked for walk in shower and got it. Breakfast room was nice. Good selection of food and drinks. Restaurant was excellent. Food in the evening very good. Large car park off the road was good.
Not happy with size of towels they need to be larger, just too small, need to be much bigger! It seems most hotels supply ‘bath’ towels when really you need huge bath sheets to wrap around you! Away for a couple of nights in a gorgeous hotel like this one you want luxurious towels!
If you love Star Wars you will love this hotel as it is located where parts of the film were made. Very remote however they offer bar food, live music, nice breakfasts. Has a lift.
Shower wouldn’t stay up so had to keep pushing it back up.

Globalement un peu tout. Parking, personnels, la chambre
The location
The bang on the door at 10.45 to say check out was 11!!! Uncomfortable bed and pillows!! Boring menu same for lunch and dinner!! Uninterested staff!! Would want binoculars to see the tv away over in the corner of the room!!! The only thing that moved with the times in this "hotel" was the prices!!!
The breakfast was good
It's a soulless hotel that benefits from being one of the few places to stay in the area beyond Dingle and therefore gets away with the prices it charges for rooms without any character nor decent wifi. They clearly aren't interested in returning customers.
Breakfast was lovely. Had the goats cheese salad for dinner and it too was delicious. The lad in the bar was really great , he was also on breakfast next morning , but some of the other staff were dis interested. The quality of the bed wasn’t great either. However, the location was incredibly beautiful.
Staff attitude and the quality of the bed wasn’t great.
Personnel accueillant, situation géographique, stationnement accessible, propreté générale, tranquilité
Matelas mou,
The accommodation was more than what we expected considering the affordable pricing. The staff were beyond pleasant and professional in all manner. They could not have been more welcoming and friendly! The breakfast was of great quality also.
Friendly staff.
Housekeeping knocking on the door at 10:30 & 11:02 Overpriced for August
Nice staff. Bright, clean, spacious room.
The breakfast is not good. Coffee is in a large urn and tastes terrible. Greasy fried eggs. Sliced pan bread. Processed cheese slices. Could do better!
L'hôtel est typique, joli restaurant.
Le rapport qualité/prix n'est pas bon. 345€ par nuit pour une vue sur le parking, la cour derrière et les poubelles. Pas d'équipement particulier... quasi 0 wifi.
Struttura molto carina e tipica. Stanza pulita, spaziosa e accogliente. Personale disponibile, colazione buona e varia. Parcheggio spazioso riservato. A pochi minuti da Dingle in una frazione molto caratteristica.
Camere, colazione e personale eccezionali
Very clean, comfortable and spacious room and facilities; friendly and professional staff; great food.
All was great 👍
Quaint, friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was delicious!
Would have preferred air conditioning or the availability of fans.
Away from touristy Dingle but close enough to get there in 15mins. Authentic village. Great view and on Slea Head drive.
Nice place, big room, breakfast included and very generous.

Nice and clean hotel.
Stanza per 4 persone con 1 letto matrimoniale e 2 letti singoli molto spaziosa, la finestra volgeva sul retro a ridosso di una collina. Il bagno non è spaziosissimoe viste le dimensioni della camera poteva dedicargli più spazio. Parcheggio gratuito ed ampio. Avevamo la colazione compresa, a buffet con la parte salata ovviamente prevalente. Mio figlio è celiaco e purtroppo c'erano solo cereali e il pane dovevamo chiederlo al personale. Del buffet salato non ha potuto mangiare le salsicce, le patate perchè erano con impanatura (un vero peccato) e il black e white pudding. Non si capisce perchè per i celiaci non ci debba essere anche qualche dolce come per gli altri. Abbiamo cenato una sera nel ristorante dell'albergo e avevano la pizza senza glutine molto buona. Posizione buona per visitare la penisola di Dingle.
Una cosa davvero inaccettbile sono i bed runner e i cuscini arredo sopra il letto. L'utilizzo di queste cose è assoutamente anti igenico. Li ho tolti la prima sera mettendoli nell'armadio e il giorno dopo ce li siamo ritrovati sui letti e la stessa cosa per tutti gli altri giorni. Inaccetabile che per 3 gg abbiano aperto l'armadio con le nostre cose all'interno.
We got a warm welcome
Excellent hotel. Lovely big rooms, comfortable beds and a great nights sleep. Food also Excellent
Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Das Zimmer war ein Dreibettzimmer und schön groß. Die Lage in einem kleinen Dorf 10 min von Dingle entfernt war idyllisch. Alles war sehr sauber
Ein kleiner Kühlschrank wäre schön gewesen.
A lovely relaxing time in hotel. Everything was perfect,friendly staff & we had dinner & breakfast which were all excellent.
Nothing not v to like.a
Riesiges Frühstücksbuffet. Feines Abnendessen.
Im Badezimmer hat es für den Föhn keine 3-polige Steckdose. Für diejenige im Schlafzimmer war das Kabel zu kurz, um sich vor einem Spiegel föhnen zukommen. Meersicht gibt es nur, wenn man am (schmutzigen) Dachflächenfenster steht. Preis-Leistung stimmt nicht.
Bel hotel, propre, chambre spacieuse, personnel sympathique !

The welcome, the room, the cleanliness, the bar and staff.
I didn't like the breakfast, as I'm a coeliac I asked the lads what was there for breakfast. She said eggs and tomatoes. I asked about sausages or rashers. She said she didn't know but would ask. But I could have cornflakes. I just feel if they really wanted to accommodate for it. They would of offered a fresh breakfast or scrambled eggs with GF toast or something. Only had a banana for breakfast afterwards
Large comfortable rooms and good breakfast
Pricey
Staff were so friendly and we asked for a packed lunch to bring on a day out and it was perfect , I can’t fault the hotel in any way it was like home from home , I would highly recommend a stay here 10/10
Schönes, grosses Zimmer mit Aussicht
The view. An Ghaeilge á labhairt.
Nothing
The location was excellent as it was in the village itself and I could walk to the beach. My room was very spacious and had lovely views.
Some staff did not speak Irish and I wanted to practise Irish as I was in the Gaeltacht area. It would have been nicer to have some fresh produce at breakfast.
Très bon hôtel avec un emplacement exceptionnel et un superbe petit déjeuner. Je recommanderai.
Clean. Comfortable.
No food after 8:30. Closed kitchen early as said it was too hot to work. Told some of the other places across road might serve food. Music playing at 6:30 in the morning in restaurant woke us.
Very clean and the room was spacious. All staff very welcoming. Lovely atmosphere
Liked everything
The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a great view of the mountain side. I particularly liked that breakfast was served between 8am and 10:30am. When on vacation I like to sleep in a bit, and many places stop serving breakfast at 9am. The extra hour and a half was very much appreciated. The breakfast was quite good as well. The restaurant/bar was very comfortable, and well appointed, with several beers on tap. The food was always excellent, as was the service. Finally the location was excellent as well. Just far enough outside of Dingle to avoid huge crowds, but 20 minutes or less to Dingle, hiking, and beaches.
Very comfortable, quiet, staff very nice and polite.
The only problem was the food and the coffee. And a suggestion: When you put the sunny side up eggs in Bain Marie, you don’t have to put 3 fires under it, because the eggs will get very hard, you need to put hot water under the food, so it doesn’t dry
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ceann Sibeal. It was very clean, comfortable, the staff were very friendly & helpful, and the meals delicious.
Prima hotel in een prachtige regio. Fijn ontbijt grote kamer. Rustig.
Had an really relaxing and enjoyable stay. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Loads to do and see.
The locaion is a anttastic place, a quite village and only minues from the fantastic coastline
