Perfect hotel for exploring Kinsale

Perfect hotel for exploring Kinsale. Very convenient location with access to the harbor and walking streets. Parking was simple and across the street. The staff was very helpful and attentive. Plus, the breakfast in the hotel cafe in the morning was fantastic. Highly recommended.

This property was not much better than a backpackers and did not live up to reviews. No air conditioning. The bathroom was so in need of refurbishment cracked basin and toilet. Carpet needed replacing, things needing repairing. If we hadn’t got the windows opened we would not have been able to stay. Only redeeming feature was staff and location.

Great location. The room was cozy and had all that we needed. It isn’t fancy or new. It’s just charming authentic and cozy. And right in town. Had to park for free in a nearby lot. Not an issue.
