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.

Great location right downtown. The hotel has paper thin walls and the beds weren’t that comfortable.
