We loved the view from our room. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located within walking distance to the shops and restaurants. We took a longer walk over the nearby bridge to see the beach and old fort. Breakfast was also really good, and we enjoyed eating in the restaurant with a view of the marina. We would love to go back again, and we would highly recommend to friends and family!

Mine and my wife’s stay at the Trident Hotel was amazing. The location and the beauty of the hotel as we drove in to the parking lot was the first things that hit us. As we checked in, they upgraded us to a junior suite which overlooked the bay and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were great. They were friendly, attentive, and professional. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone I talk to you about Kinsale. Thank you for the excellent experience and next time we’re in the area we will definitely stay with you.
