I stayed there on a hen party recently and although we had a great time, the hotel was not great. From the minute we walked into the lobby there was a smell of damp. The rooms were not very clean and they could badly do with putting down new carpet, paint the walls and put in a new bathroom suite. The place is in need of serious refurbishment !!! The nightcub is well laid out though as there is one side of the club that plays chart music and the other side of the club plays 80's and disco tunes.The staff were extremely nice though. I would not recommend staying there but good for a boggie on the dancefloor!!

We had the best service and breakfast here. Little hard to find, the sign was overgrown and the outside was being painted, but an overal wonderful experience.

I stayed at the Hillgrove Hotel with my three children in August '06. My fault, I didn't decide to book into Dingle until very late so the Hillgrove was one of the few places that could accommodate me with the late booking.

On the plus side: very good location, easy to park, short stroll into town, nice little guest lounge.

Negatives: our rooms were kind of dirty. The beds were comfortable, though. I imagine it could be very loud on a nightclub night but the night we were there the club was not open. We rang to get in and no one responded. Ultimately we hunted around and found a young girl who checked us in. I don't believe I ever met the owner.

Another plus: one of the best breakfasts I had on our trip - smoked salmon w/ scrambled eggs.

If you are traveling with children I guess I'd stay there if the club is closed.

The Hillgrove Hotel is a nice normal clean & friendly Hotel. It boast the only nightclub in Dingle & having been to a number of other nightclubs in both Dublin & Cork i would have no hesitation in recommending this one simply because of the music. It caters for all tastes from the latest club tracks to some golden oldies 60s,70s & 80s. So no matter what age you are or what type of music your into you'll def hear a track that you like. While it can be a bit pricey on the door charge i would still give this club 9/10!
