"Very clean and beautiful hotel. But, be aware there are no elevators or Air Conditioning. Our room was beautiful and had a little family room too. But it was a bit hot. They had 3 fans and that took off the edge. If you are coming with many suitcases, this may not be a good fit. Was very close to everything . Great location Kind staff. The breakfast was very good. The front desk said that they will have e AC next year."

Kinsale Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"We spent only one night in Kinsale hotel and spa. The room was specious and the views were spectacular. We stayed in the harbor view room. Unfortunately we didn’t have enough time to visit the spa but it looked amazing. Breakfast was great with so many options in it. The staff was who made this one night stay so good, friendly, helpful and cheerful. I couldn’t fault them. The only negative for this hotel that you need a car to go to the city. It is close but you can’t walk it because it is a bit away from anything. The hotel offers a shuttle bus to the city but you need to book a taxi to come back. You need at least an hr to be able to get a taxi so make sure you pre-book your way back. The toilet floor seems to be noisy when walking over it. Other than that everything was perfect. I wish I had more time in Kinsale to enjoy the hotel and its views further."
