Accommodation
From beautiful long beaches to stunning driving routes and the breathtaking bay, Dingle is no doubt one of the most spectacular places to visit in Ireland.
There are hotels, hostels and B&Bs here with great accommodation that suit various budgets.
You can stay in a luxurious 5-star hotel offering world-class services or you could simply book a nice guest house if you’re on a tight budget.
While some of the hotels are closer to the town centre, others are positioned next to the beaches or amidst the other natural attractions.
As you brainstorm where to stay in Dingle, go through our guide below and see the various great options to make your work easier.
Booking.com has always been one of our most important travel tools. We’ve used them to make bookings in Europe, Asia, The Americas and everywhere else we’ve travelled. They never disappoint.
You are guaranteed the best prices with Booking.com. They match prices such that you can get a refund of the excess if you get a lower-priced booking somewhere else for the same place. How cool is that?
If you are always on the move then this site is especially ideal for you. Just install the mobile app on your phone. This way you can book your accommodations anytime, anywhere.
Also, you can easily get into Booking.com’s loyalty program and become a Genius member by creating an account and completing at least 2 bookings. With this membership, you get access to amazing discounts and perks. Try it out and see for yourself.
At the same time, Agoda has come on leaps and bounds over the years and now offers a fantastically modern and easy-to-use site! They often have almost as wide a range as Booking.com and some very competitive rates, especially with flash deals.
One feature I really love about Agoda is AgodaCash; this is a cashback tool that gives you credit back on certain bookings. In turn, this can actually mean that booking with Agoda can come in cheaper than Booking.com.
To help make sure you get the best deal possible on all hotels in Dingle, I’ve gone ahead and provided links to both sites for every property below.
