all good to great. except NO LIFT. so luggage is on your own up one or two flights. otherwise highly recommend on location staff room value.

Christopher

We absolutely loved the location. The staff was so helpful and gave additional points of interest for our trip especially as we were heading from Kinsale to the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula. Our room was on the top floor and had an amazing view of the moon and the bay. Kitty O'se's next door had the best Irish music we saw on our 12-day trip

“At the crossroads in Kinsale”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 1 night
I recommend you bring ear plugs if you're a light sleeper. The central location means you will have bar noise and traffic noise, plus you can hear your neighbours through the walls. We found the price to be high compared to over places along the coast in Cork, but that's Kinsale for you.
Having a central location with parking nearby was definitely key to enjoying our time in Kinsale. This hotel delivered on both. The room was well appointed and comfortable. The hot breakfast was decent. We stayed there in winter at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, so we have a bit of a skewed perspective. I'm sure it's even better in summer.

Considering the difficulties around Covid 19, this property were so accommodating when we made the last minute decision to check out early. We were even refunded the night we didn’t stay which we did not expect at all! Such a great place to stay with a beautiful room and excellent location!

A bit pricey for a 3 star hotel but I guess you're paying for the location. Some late night noise from the bar downstairs, not enough to disturb sleep though.
Lovely clean room with a comfortable bed. Central location. Nice breakfast. Nice welcome at reception.

The room was very hot at night even with the window open. The walls are paper thin so you hear everything. Not recommended for light sleepers.
The staff were incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had enough to eat before we left in the morning. The location is unbeatable too!

I understand that it's a heating system for the hotel & not room by room & The White House want their guests to be warm & comfortable but the heating in our room was way to hot & could only leave windows open a little bit at a time as we had a front facing room in the town so it was way to noisy with traffic & people falling out of pubs to let air in. That was my only problem. Have stayed here 4 times before it's the best in kinsale, it wouldn't throw me off staying there.
Excellent location, brilliant staff, very friendly & very clean.
