Amazing!

Staff was welcoming and helpful. Room was great, comfy and quiet. We received a free cocktail at the bar, plus free breakfast. Centrally located, walkable distance to everything. Parking across the street. We would definitely come back!

Great overnigh stay

It was amazing. The amenities were very nice. Parking could have been more straight forward as we had to park at the "no overnight parking" lot which turned out to be fine to overnighr park

My Kind of Place!

It is located in downtown Kinsale, so everything is within walking distance. The bed was very comfortable, lots of pillows. A small thing, but important - the body wash etc bottles in the shower are in large print for those of us with glasses. The room had a nice fragrance and was very clean and organized. It is convenient to Old Head Golf Course - my reason for staying.

Location excellent - very central. Only downside to this is it is a little noisy if you have a room at the front but it wouldn’t put me off staying here. Staff friendly. Well equipped room - Iron, ironing board, hair dryer, tea/coffee facilities, fridge, safe, fan, heater. Very comfy bed, good bathroom facilities and internet connection was fine. My only real criticism was that the room was extremely hot (stayed in July). A fan is provided but it was still hot. I should think that this is only a problem for a very short period of the year bearing in mind the usual Irish weather! I would stay here again.

The room was quite small, there wasn’t much room to move around with two of you in there, and check-in was difficult, we got there at 3 as specified and it wasn’t clear how to get in to check in, we had to fall three times before we got through. Other than that, the room is perfectly located and the beds extremely comfy. We also appreciated the addition of a fan as the room got quite warm.

Right in the middle of Kinsale but without the noise and crowds you would expect. The managers were helpful and proactive a lot time of check in. Fantastic coffee with an easy Nespresso machine plus refrigerator, spa-like towels, lots of outlets and a fan. Never met the owner/manager but spoke several times over the phone and felt we’ll taken care of

Very unique and charming room. Very quiet. Not a traditional hotel with staff so you have to figure things out yourself ( ie how the coffee maker works) but very good value.

Room was too small- no room for luggage. Bathroom didn’t have a plug. Unable to adjust temp in room. Toilet paper rack fell off wall. Fitted sheet was old and rough to sleep on. Location was good. The room looked nice and modern but not comfortable for 2 people for 2 nights.

Beautifully done property within walking distance of the quaint little town of Kinsale. My only minor issue was that I was not given check out instructions and I did not get a response when I asked about it through both text message and Expedia messaging. Other than that, wonderful stay.

Excellent hotel in heart of Kinsale

Beautiful room in the heart of Kinsale. Within walking distance of everything. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated/updated. All furnishings and fixtures are in excellent condition. The room was very clean. The bathroom was wonderful with an extra large shower. I wish all hotels were like this one. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.
