I was a little afraid to stay at the oldest Inn in Dingle. Boy was I surprised to be in this beautiful, historic, and updated Inn. My room was beautifully decorated and immaculately maintained. My only complaint was that I had a mysterious $30 charge in my room at stays end. No explanation given. I would absolutely stay here again, but pay in full in advance.

Staff was very friendly and we loved the location. We were upset to find black mold behind the seating cushions of the window seat in 2 out of our 3 rooms. We also left behind a set of expensive make up brushes. Hotel staff did not return phone calls as promised. Had to call multiple times to follow up. We were promised the brushes would be mailed to our hotel in Dublin. They were never sent.

The employee Mike was the best, from checking us in at the front desk to serving us at the bar. We had great conversation with him and he just gives superior service. Can’t wait to come back to Dingle and stay here and to see Mike again.

We were staying at Benners for three nights - Sat, Sun & Mon. We found the reception staff incredibly helpful and always willing to go the extra mile for us. The restaurant staff were also very professional and extremely personable. However, the quality of food on Sun morning was really poor. There were four of us and we each had to return our food as the poached eggs were like tennis balls, the sausages were burnt and hard and the bacon was barely cooked at all. It was as though some things had been cooked hours before and kept warm in an oven - so very disappointing. Breakfast is such an important part of the day and having travelled extensively in Ireland, this fell really below our expectations. Things were much improved on Mon and Tues so we put it down to a weekend team in the kitchen. But why no grilled tomato or baked beans as part of a full Irish breakfast? They have been included in every other hotel we have stayed in - approx 7 hotels! This experience put us off eating any other meal at Benners. The rooms were clean and well sound proofed. The beds were comfortable but the bathrooms need upgrading to include a walk in shower rather than an over the bath shower head which was fixed and an awful plastic shower curtain that wrapped itself around ones legs. The public spaces had beautiful chandeliers and fresh flowers but the rest of the furnishings all looked a little tired. We drank in the bar on two nights but the canned music was inappropriate and needs a rethink.

This hotel in the heart of Dingle is a gem. It was so nice having off street parking as this is a busy town in the nice weather! The town itself is charming- if a bit touristy. Everything in Dingle itself is very walkable. We took a tour from the tourist info center around the peninsula, which is a great idea if you want to make sure to see all the stunning scenery! The hotel was comfortable and made to order breakfast was a great touch. Staff were all very accommodating.

What a lovely hotel. Great location, staff and breakfast. Mike the night manager went above and beyond to take care of us in the evening lounge. Laundry service was fast. We stayed in the remodeled section which was great. We were a group with two rooms and the only thing was room 206 had a lighting issue with the light in the parking lot coming over the curtain in the window at night. We addressed it with the manager and they were aware and very receptive to the feedback. Can’t wait to stay again!!

Benners Hotel Dingle, a Co Kerry gem

Benners is a lovely traditional family hotel on the Main Street Dingle with plenty of parking behind. An award winning breakfast lived up to our expectations- a generous buffet selection and cooked to order options from full Irish to fish (hake) of the day. My room was spacious , quiet (which I requested) and very comfortable. A great choice for a short break 👏
