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.

Loved it

We had a great one night stay at the glen quarter. The room is small but very well designed and sparkling clean. Centrally located in the heart of kinsale. Since we came off season we parked right behind the building. Two doors down from a perfect breakfast spot with delicious cappuccino. Highly recommend for a short stay. Keep in mind that parking could be a challenge during the peak season.

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.

This was perfect for our one night stay. The only negative I have to say is I wish we had a place to put our bags when open, but that’s no big deal. The staff was kind. Easy check in and out. Perfect area to walk to the shops. We had a great time.

Room was too small- no room for luggage. Bathroom didn’t have a plug. Unable to adjust temp in room. Toilet paper rack fell off wall. Fitted sheet was old and rough to sleep on. Location was good. The room looked nice and modern but not comfortable for 2 people for 2 nights.

The staff was totally helpful with suggestions for our group of 3 from midwest USA. The accommodations were new, fresh, clean and comfortable, with much-appreciated complimentary drinks and wash items. No elevator, but that posed no problem for us with the nicely carpeted stairs. Thank you, Glen Quarter!

The Glen Quarter was a beautiful place to stay. Furnished to a high standard and really convenient for the nearby shops and bars. The only thing I would mark down on was that our room was a little on the small side and there were no blinds at the windows meaning we had to keep the curtains shut after coming out of the shower. Apart from that it’s really lovely place to stay. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Ciara who recommended restaurants for dinner and places to visit.
