Top Desmond Castle Hotel Reviews

Kinsale Hotel & Spa

8/10 Good

"The air conditioning did not work."

The Glen Quarter

8/10 Good

"We arrived very late into Kinsale after official check in hours (and apparently there is no personal guest check in anyway), and were given instructions on how to check in and where to park and the staff were very responsive via the Expedia app. However, the hotel is not well marked at all - there’s a tiny sign outside the property which looks more like an office building (white smooth exterior, modern looking windows) and it’s on a busy road with no place to pull up or double park to unload luggage. More clear instruction on where (front of the housing? Back of the building? There are at least two separate locked entrances) would have been helpful. All parking behind the building was full so we ended up dropping our luggage behind the back building (which is not where our room was located) and then parking 400m uphill at a free lot and then wandering along the street to find the front of the building where our room #2 was located. Once in using a code for the front door and a lockbox for our actual room key we found a lovely room with king bed and spacious bathroom and patio with two chairs that we didn’t have time to use :( The bed and linens were great and the location is wonderful for walking around town. Just not great for driving/arriving at the hotel. I loved Kinsale and hope to return and next time I’d stay at the Trident Hotel which is on the harbor and has an easy on and out parking situation!"

Long Quay House

10/10 Excellent

"Beautifully situated right on the harbour the Long Quay it’s a beautiful Boutique hotel with a charming breakfast and great customer service! Walking distance to everything you would like to see in Kinsale as well as great dining."

Trident Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and lots of outdoor spaces to utilize."

Carrigaline Court Hotel and Leisure Centre

8/10 Good

"Staff the service and the hotel was excellent. We did have breakfast so I am not sure about that however their pool is also a community pool which made us not even to go and use it. When we checked it out it was packed with people. Also they close the pool very early specifically on weekends."

Blue Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel. Right in the middle of town. Great restaurants nearby. The regatta was happening the weekend I stayed so it was pretty much a party at night. Loud music at the restaurant next to the hotel. But I wasn’t bothered. I travel with foam ear plugs."

Actons Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Location was perfect for a quick trip. Staff was helpful. Room was comfortable"

Summer Cottage in Kinsale

8/10 Good

"Good value - well maintained room"

The Post House

8/10 Good

"Good communication from host to start with - but when I asked a question - no response. Bed was a sleigh style - so at 6'4" - I was not able to stretch out. Parking no so clear... carpark next to room is a 2hour limit carpark. There is a free one just below. Which we worked out"
