Blue Haven Hotel

Blue Haven Hotel

8/10 Good
"Great central location. Very nice room. Only notes would be for older or disabled folks, there is no elevator ( lift ), and on a Saturday night, rightfully the town was quite lively and music thumping until midnight. Worked great for us, but not a quiet / easily accessible room. Staff was great and again, could not be more centrally located. We got very lucky with a parking spot right across the street. €1.50 per hour ( 2 hour max ) until 18:00 and then free all day Sunday."

Long Quay House

Long Quay House

10/10 Excellent
"We spent two nights in Kinsale at Long Quay House and we highly recommend the place. The location is awesome, the room was clean with a great shower, and the property is in very good condition. The owner and staff were very helpful. Breakfasts are cooked to order. We had eggs and salmon, eggs with bacon, and porridge with fruit. There is also a self serve area with fresh croissants, scones, bread, yogurt, fruit, and a small selection of cheeses and salamis. Although there is not parking on site, there is parking directly across the street. It is readily accessible and free overnight (6pm-1030am). During the day, the city charges for parking at these same spots with pay kiosks available. But the owner also showed us where there was free parking during the day, located (about 75 yards away)."
