Food was below average, and definitely not worth almost €20 for fish and chips. Staff were also not great. They were not rude but were also not very pleasant. Our mains took 50 minutes to come out and we had to ask for a dessert menu after waiting 20 minutes. In total we were there for 2 and a half hours for a 3 course meal. This would be more understandable if it was busy, but there were only a couple other tables at the time. Very disappointing. 

Would not recommend

This is a great pub in a great location. It has multiple areas for eating and drinking, both inside and out in good weather. There are great views across the water to the mountains from all areas. It also serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Aside from evening drinks, we had a Sunday lunch and the beef and Guinness stew was excellent. Recommended.

Sunday lunch

Thoroughly enjoyed our break at the Royal Hotel Valentia. Food was lovely, staff were so helpful. Delighted with our stay. Learnt so much from the island tour, so many places of interest within a short drive of the hotel. Looking forward to visiting again soon!

Great trip! 😃

Lovely old fashioned-looking hotel and bar located in the centre of this small town on the island, close to the ferry. Staff are really helpful and the food was really good and the menu offered a very good selection. Beer options good too.

Good local and hearty food

Had drinks most afternoons while staying locally for a week. Went in today and there was a wedding party. Barman recognised me but when I ordered my drink he just walked away. A guest beside me thought it was odd so I ordered again. This time he walked out of the bar and around the corner. I was terribly imbalanced. My conclusion, I'm jeans did not fit the attire on the day. Disgraceful rude and snobbish staff. Will be here next year but will avoid this awful place . 

Snobbish bar staff

A fabulous place to stay, the character, the history, courteous, friendly staff, the food throughout is fabulous, you get looked after so well. A must with scenery, history, warmth, Dark Sky Adventures, Valentia Candles and Ted Kennedy Tours - a must!!  Check out Antheas glamping ... a double decker bus!!  None of it is to be missed!   And all from the Royal Hotel in Valentia, thank you, the best birthday ever, Helen 🧚‍♀️❤️

The Best Birthday Ever!

We stayed here for seven days and loved every single day of our stay! The hotel itself is historical, beautiful and picturesque. The views from the rooms are just lovely (we booked two rooms). The food served here is excellent both in terms of quality and selection. This is especially impressive given that the hotel is on an island and everything has to come from the mainland. 

What is even more impressive than the physical hotel itself is its amazing and devoted staff!! For a while we thought some of the regular staff were owners since they were absolutely professional and devoted but we were wrong. They are employees!! The hotel is so lucky to have them. 

I did not get all the names of the wonderful staff but I would like to especially mention Mags and Bríd. Mags works so hard and she’s really fast and efficient and even when the pub and restaurant were packed she remained patient, super friendly and attentive. She remembered our favorite table and on our departure day she and the chef whose name I did not get came in really early after a late night of work just so that we could have our breakfast at 6:30 to catch our flight!!! Talk about devotion and professionalism!! Bríd is one of the receptionists. She was so helpful, friendly and patient too. Once she learned this was our first trip to the island she offered many tips and made a list of places she thought we would enjoy visiting both on the island and in the mainland. She searched for opening hours and gave us info and maps and all of her recommendations were fabulous. Our stay was much enhanced because of her. We also enjoyed the help and sense of humor of Tim, another wonderful receptionist. 

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We will definitely come back.

More than a hotel!

Stayed here 1 night on our Ring of Kerry drive.  Our room was fine but quite small with only a small window.  It was on the second floor and there is no lift, though the chap on reception did carry our case up.  Thank you!!  The real bonus was the excellent meal that we had.  We opted for the early bird menu which was 3 courses.  Absolutely wonderful  I had the chowder which was full of all sorts of fish and then the salmon which was the biggest piece of salmon I have ever been served in a restaurant and it was beautifully cooked.  I could only manage ice-cream for dessert but my husband managed the sticky toffee pudding which he said was delicious.  No on site parking but plenty on the road outside the hotel.  Wouldn't hesitate to cgo back.

1 night stay

We have frequented The Royal Valentia Hotel many times during our most enjoyable visits to the beautiful Atlantic Villa Self catering Cottages..
On this occasion the weather was a little rough to say the least which resulted in our outdoor pursuits being cut short.This left us with time sit and sip by the fireside in the most welcoming Royal Valentia.
All staff were most welcoming and left no stone unturned to make sure we were enjoying our evening.
It was a little while since we had visited but Michelle after welcoming us back to the island was quick to say….I will be back with your usual and quickly our drinks arrived ….well done Michelle we were very impressed.Later at dinner the table service was efficient and food arrived with the special requests seem to without any bother.
Alex was most obliging and attentive to our table.
Thank you.
Remembering Yana who took the time to chat to us and was most pleasant as she did her utmost to get the fire a blaze for us to toast out toes after being weather beaten around Bray head.
John behind the bar was so patient with my order ….peppermint tea ….the pint of Guinness was so much easier…
It was a lovely experience though the weather outside was frightful.
We left the beautiful Atlantic Villa Self Catering Cottages feeling so grateful to Jackie for providing such homely Corey comforts a few steps from the Atlantic…..
And yes we will be back….3 words of advise on leaving Valentia…book return on departure…..it certainly works for us
Go raibh mile maith agaibh….

Beautiful Valentia

Fantastic hotel offering everything you could want - friendly and helpful staff, tasty food, great atmosphere, wonderful surroundings and all the home comforts you would expect. We had a gorgeous room with a sea view and comfy armchairs, breakfast was delicious, live music and busy bar was most enjoyable. Bríd made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived and was so friendly with a wealth of knowledge on fun things to do around the area. We can’t wait to visit again soon!
