Hotel 3-Bintang di Kerry, Ireland

Benner's is an absolute winner of a small, in town hotel. We arrived to a very warm welcome and three extremely spacious, clean and well laid out twin bedrooms with more than capacious bathrooms. Book a room toward the rear as the festivities and live traditional music throughout the town will play on until the small hours. The beds and bed linens are super comfortable, crisp and cool. Breakfast is brilliantly organised and there is pretty much nothing you could want nor anything that they won't make for you, from soft poached eggs with grilled tomatoes to the most perfect eggs benedict. There is also a very cosy, friendly bar to retreat into by the entrance. Benners does all the little things well, and not just well, but with a willing smile and a genuine pride in upholding a very high standard. Service is second to none (I stupidly mislaid my travel bag & passport at a restaurant the night before departure and the front desk had it safely back to me in no time) and the entire staff were attentive and more than happy to help. You also can't fault the location with Dingle and all it's great pubs and restaurants on your doorstep. Benners reminds of one of those great country town hotels of my childhood - updated for the age of the bucket lister. Part large B&B, part boutique hotel without the attitude - a real old school charmer. Highly recommended.

This is a terrific hotel in a prime location for driving the Ring of Kerry and visiting attractions in Kenmare and Killarney. The hotel staff are uniformly friendly and helpful; the food and drink at the hotel are first rate (we ate one meal in the restaurant - evening and another in the bar - evening as well as breafkasts). We highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed in this hotel in August 2024. Two of the best things about it: the view---amazing! Mountains and hills, and the surrounding landscape is beautiful. The other thing is the attached restaurant---we had dinner one night and it was great. The included breakfast was also amazing---made to order! Now the not so great....not bad, but we felt a little cheated. The room advertised a KING bed. We found out this is a UK-King, not a normal US-King bed. It was the same size as a US-Queen bed. Not a big deal, but they should mention that in the listing. The next thing: There is no AC in any of the rooms. Again, no mention of this in their listing. Not that much of a problem, because it was cool (mid 60's) during our stay, but in order to get the room cooled down, we had to leave the balcony door open, and there was no screen at all. Luckily, we had no birds, or bugs or who knows what in our room when we returned from our outings for the day. Also, on one of the days, it was raining, so the door couldn't stay open---it rained in the room if you did. Not ideal. We are a couple who likes to sleep in a very cold room---we always turn our hotel rooms down to 68 degrees or less when we sleep. Not sure we ever got below 70 in this room. Next....there is no mini-fridge in the room, and no icemaker in the hotel. We had to ask the front desk for any ice bucket, and they had it delivered from the restaurant to our room, but again, not ideal. Lastly, the room is very, very small---only 2 feet between the bed and the wall, so if you plan on spending any time in the room other than sleeping, it's very crowded. PS---this is a very old hotel---needs some updating. The carpet in our room looked new, so that was nice, but the walk to our room has some very old carpet, walls that need painted, and furniture that looks like it's from the 70's or 80's---and VERY well used. For a short stay (a day or two) it's fine, but any longer---stay at a more modern, updated hotel.

The tea/coffee with cakes upon arrival are a welcoming hug as you enter this charming home with views that are like a postcard. Phil meets you with her warm Irish smile and directs you to your well kept, comfortable room. We stayed downstairs in room 6. My family was in room 7 which is like a suite Micheal helps with the luggage with a joke or two and a kind sense of humor. Upon awakening you head toward the smells of fresh brewed coffee and breakfast to trump most all breakfasts in taste. I can say they made the one of the most delicious eggs Benedict’s in my history. Just around the corner is a pub and a walk along the magnificent cliffs. Phil lets you know all the things to do and how to get there. I loved my quiet time in the sitting room sipping coffee or Jameson and soaking in the views of the Atlantic, with sheep and ponies dotting the breathtaking landscape. Thank you Phil and Bernie for taking such good care of us.

My friend and I stayed there for 3 days as our beginning point to visit Kerry and Dingle area. Although old, it has everything you need, rooms are not very spacious, but the bathroom is modern and with all the facilities. Situated by the harbour, you are close to the nice walking by the sea. We’ve also had dinner there, and it was very good! The breakfast is including, you get large irish one, all kind of cereals. The only minus was for the not so nice salami and cheese you can get if you don’t fancy irish breakfast. Would come again!

Excellent location. The room was very spacious with two beds which were very comfortable and the room temperature could be easily adjusted. Very clean bathroom and shower. The staff were efficient and friendly. I stay here on many occasions for work and I love the food especially the breakfast buffet, this hotel is one of my favourite hotels to stay in when I am working in the Kerry area. I would highly recommend it to anyone. There are shops a short walking distance from the hotel and the town centre is only a short drive or Taxi ride away. Well worth a visit and this hotel is exceptionally good value especially given the standard of the room and the excellent breakfast. Well done to all the staff for making it an enjoyable stay.

Stayed here for four nights as part of a coach tour. Nice hotel, great location situated on the Main Street. Decor on entering the hotel is quite striking. Staff were helpful, polite, professional and always there to help. We had half board here and the evening meals were very good with a choice of three dishes per evening. The bar area was cosy, intimate with a nice atmosphere. Breakfast was also very good with a range of hot and cold buffet style items to choose from. Rooms were adequate if a little dated and tired hence the four star rather than a five star rating. All in all, though we enjoyed our stay and would have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone.

This B&B is in the heart of Dingle. You come out of the front straight onto the seafront, and it has gorgeous views. We had a family room for 5 people - one of the reasons we chose it - and it was a good sized room. The staff were really friendly, and the rooms were very clean. A highlight was the breakfast! Full Irish (buffet) with continental (also buffet) plus cold meats/ cheese and smoked salmon. Yoghurt with a range of seeds, muesli and cereals, fresh fruit. And the option of fresh cooked porridge or waffles. All absolutely delicious! We all had a great stay - thank you!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Nette ältere Dame empfing uns sehr freundlich. Das Zimmer war nicht groß aber gemütlich. Mit Kaffee und Keksen. Das Bad modern und sauber, große Dusche. Der Frühstücksraum sehr gepflegt und total schön eingedeckt. Man konnte sagen, was man essen möchte. Zusätzlich gab es Cereals, Jogurt, frische Beeren und Obst.

This lovely small comfortable hotel does exactly as it says. A 3 star well run friendly place with great food and lovely professional helpful staff. The location is a perfect base for exploring the Dingle peninsula. Beach within 15 minute walking distance along lovely quiet road. I highly recommend this great little hotel.

PROS: Exceptionally clean. Everything seemed relatively new. Beautifully quiet. Nice warm room. Bedding, décor, and furnishings were all quite nice and well selected. CONS: No lounge or living room type common area for guests to sit comfortably with only one basic office chair provided in the room. Quite simply, it was too sp****ly furnished and appointed. Wi-fi was very sketchy (despite numerous reboots) and even stopped working completely for quite some time. The owner since claimed to have “super fast Wi-Fi” and that we should have addressed Wi-fi issues on-site, but we had no idea how to find the proprietor once he handed us the room keys and then basically disappeared for the duration of our stay (behind one of the closed doors on the property?). In short, we could not address the Wi-fi issues as he suggested. There were no TV’s in the entire property, which the owner stated was done on purpose to provide a “quiet and peaceful experience”. That seems nice enough, but without reliable working Wi-fi, the property became an isolated entrapment while we stared at the walls for several hours. A tomb is a “quiet and peaceful experience”, but that doesn’t necessarily make it pleasant. By normal Irish standards for hotels, 4:30 pm check-in and 10:30 am check-out times were quite late and early respectively, which is not common for Ireland as the owner subsequently claimed. We stayed in more than 30 hotels in Ireland and not one of them provided so little overall time. The typical turnaround from check-in to check-out (in all of 2100 miles we traveled around Ireland) was about an hour longer, one way or another. Responding to this, the owner quite rudely wrote (his quote) that we “would need to familiarise yourself with the basics before travelling somewhere”. To that, I can only say we are traveling 110 days this year in 16 different countries and have traveled to about 40 countries before. We plan our journeys exhaustively. I suggest rather than provide insulting remarks about our travel abilities, which are highly tuned and time-tested, perhaps this property’s management should listen to useful customer input about things which were not customary and inferior to competitors. Breakfast was an additional charge which rather goes against the ENTIRE notion of calling oneself a B&B. In retrospect, on closer examination, I concede the advertised rates for the property apparently included a non-breakfast option, but it’s important to note that is not always completely obvious when viewing typical hotel booking sites. Addressing this, the owner wrote that “it looks like you had no idea what you were booking and were not looking at the location or anything at that time”. Overlooking the blatant rudeness of that comment, our situation was actually quite the contrary, and we were keenly familiar with the location, having already spent a total of 25 days traversing the entire west coast of Ireland throughout both rural and urban areas before

Really great accommodation a short walk from the centre of town. Room was lovely. Great comfortable double bed, plenty of storage, huge bathroom with shower etc and had shower gels/shampoo etc for guests. Room cleaned each day with towels etc replaced and free water provided. WiFi was free and great speed anywhere in the house. Free unreserved parking outside the front door.

This is a terrific hotel in a prime location for driving the Ring of Kerry and visiting attractions in Kenmare and Killarney.

We stayed this past weekend for a hen party and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were a group of 37 so alot of people to accommodate. Maura and team in the booking office were so helpful and accommodating in organising our group into the dorm and also double and triple rooms, and were on hand to adjust numbers as we went along, and answer any queries we had with such wonderful attitudes. We did activities in the bar which was beautifully decorated, and had custom cocktail menus for our group - thanks to Sean who was our barman and sorted all those details with us in advance. There is a lovely night porter if you fancy a nightcap which we did (sorry we didn't catch your name). Breakfast was delicious, well recieved by the whole group - nothing like a full Irish after a busy day and night. I would 100% recommend it for any group, the whole process was so easy. I would also recommend to anyone wanting to visit Dingle - the rooms are clean and modern, the staff are friendly and attentive, and the location is great.
