Right in the middle of Kinsale but without the noise and crowds you would expect. The managers were helpful and proactive a lot time of check in. Fantastic coffee with an easy Nespresso machine plus refrigerator, spa-like towels, lots of outlets and a fan. Never met the owner/manager but spoke several times over the phone and felt we’ll taken care of

Very unique and charming room. Very quiet. Not a traditional hotel with staff so you have to figure things out yourself ( ie how the coffee maker works) but very good value.

The room was quite small, there wasn’t much room to move around with two of you in there, and check-in was difficult, we got there at 3 as specified and it wasn’t clear how to get in to check in, we had to fall three times before we got through. Other than that, the room is perfectly located and the beds extremely comfy. We also appreciated the addition of a fan as the room got quite warm.

The Glen Quarter Kinsale is a very modern studio accommodation in the old part of Kinsale, very close to everything. The staff were great to talk to and told of great places to visit around the town.

Excellent hotel in heart of Kinsale

Beautiful room in the heart of Kinsale. Within walking distance of everything. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated/updated. All furnishings and fixtures are in excellent condition. The room was very clean. The bathroom was wonderful with an extra large shower. I wish all hotels were like this one. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.

Liked: Amenities
Location excellent - very central. Only downside to this is it is a little noisy if you have a room at the front but it wouldn’t put me off staying here. Staff friendly. Well equipped room - Iron, ironing board, hair dryer, tea/coffee facilities, fridge, safe, fan, heater. Very comfy bed, good bathroom facilities and internet connection was fine. My only real criticism was that the room was extremely hot (stayed in July). A fan is provided but it was still hot. I should think that this is only a problem for a very short period of the year bearing in mind the usual Irish weather! I would stay here again.

Very nice Boutique Hotel. Well appointed with plentiful amenities, good sized rooms and comfortable beds. Upscale bed linens and thick towels. Staff was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations for local dining, parking and even helped get our luggage up the stairs to the second floor. I would definitely stay there again.
