The property was very centrally located and we enjoyed being able to walk everywhere. However, the owner took many days to respond via email in the days leading up to our reservation when I had questions, did not provide a fan when our room was very hot, and the cleanliness of the room was pretty disappointing. It smelled of mold/mildew, there were stains on the bedding and towels, and on the last night we heard scurrying in the night (I assume a small animal such as a mouse or such in the attic doors). I would not stay here again unfortunately.

Great location. Old building with a lot of character. Only complaint is the shower was a bit moldy.

Good location
Noisy water pump or something that kept kicking into action during the middle of the night waking me up
No thermostats so no temperature control.
Would not recommend.

We arrived in a rainstorm and so grateful that we were allowed an early check-in. The room was comfortable and clean and convenient to the bus stop and restaurants.

Truly contactless . Unexpected. Very lovely room. As I was coming from bus I was not expecting no taxis from the bus station. I was unfamiliar with the area so walked up to this hotel. Never saw an person and with some fumbling was able to gain entry to the small hotel Otherwise beautiful

The reason to stay here is that the location is fantastic. The town of Kinsale is a beautiful place for a seaside vacation. The accommodation itself was a little run down and dirty but for the continence of being so close to the centre of town it was worth it. Not an accessible stay, lots of stairs for anyone who has mobility issues.

A very nice room, well appointed and very conveniently located to everything in Kinsale. The experience was very Airbnb; the only contact I had with another human being on the property was to ask a question of the nice woman who was cleaning the rooms.
