“Worst hotel I have ever been to.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 February 2012 via mobile
1
person found this review helpful

A group of us stayed here for a friends stag weekend so it is fair to say our expectations weren't high.
However the Hotel was so bad that a number of us left and stayed elsewhere. The smell of stale drink greets you the second you walk in to the place and it is clear the place hasn't been cleaned in a very long time. The rooms were filthy and to say spartan is paying them a compliment, there were coffee cups but no kettle, there were also no towels and when we asked for some we were given two hand towels between 3 of us. Do yourself a huge favour and book somewhere else, or alternatively stay in your car as it is probably more comfortable.

I wish to respond to your review as I believe it is inaccurate. Cleanliness is of utmost importance to us, so i can assure you that all rooms were cleaned to a very high standard. There was a kettle missing in one room as it broke, which we have since replaced. The reason for the incorrect number of towels in some rooms is because we never got a final number from this stag group. Even the morning of arrival the stag organiser could not tell us how many were due to arrive, so we really had no idea. It turns out there were many less than he had said, which i would like to point that we did not charge him for. The most inaccurate piece of your review is where you state that people left for another accommodation because it was so bad. Nobody left that checked in, but some of the group checked into the wrong hotel as the stag organiser himself apologised to me for, as he admitted he had not been very organised. I do apologize if you were not happy with your stay, but it was very difficult for us to be ready for a group where we didnt have any idea how many were actually coming.

If you're looking to book for a stag, hen or even just a large group this is the place for you. There is free access to night club and residents bar after. The staff are very helpful and friendly. It's great value at €35 including breakfast. The location is perfect too only a short stroll to the Main Street.

“fun and friendly stay:)”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2011

we where staying in the hotel for a stag...on arrival check in was quick and informative-we got all information about breakfast,free entry for residents in the nightclub,best places to go for food and if we needed anything to come to reception at any time.
we were not even a 5minute walk from the main street of dingle. Our rooms were a nice size, clean and comfortable all were en-suite. we got to use the hillgrove free shuttle bus on our way back to hotel that night. it was just very convienent to stay there as its the only club in Dingle and it was a stones throw from our rooms.
Breakfast was very good on the Sunday morning and we didnt have to check out till 12. The staff all threw the hotel were lovely-reception, bar,management and breakfast, all very helpful and friendly and helped us in anyway they could.
we realy enjoyed our stay in the hillgrove and would go back again all we need is an excuse.

“Be aware of what's in store”

This is a Niteclub with accomodation. Stag and Hen nights are all that should consider this place, seriously! Tried to avoid touching the carpet due to stains and smell. Beds are old and you sink into the mattress.
It's very expensive at €35 each and we were in a quad room.
Not a place retreat for a nice weekend or a relaxed visit.
Definately only for Hen and Stag parties where you're happy to stay in the residents bar.
Only good thing is that it gives you free entry to the Niteclub!
