Stayed for 1 night in October 2011 with my husband (for our wedding anniversary) and our (tragically) seriously ill baby. I was upset and uneasy when we were contacted by the Blue Haven (sister hotel), where we had made reservations, advising there was an over-booking but that the Old Bank House (down the street) could accommodate us. As it was... More

We would absolutely recommend this hotel. Great location. We can not understand the bad reviews at all. In our opinion the hotel is not run down or tired looking. Room 17 was very big with lovely views out of the windows. Jana checked us in and out and she was most helpful and friendly. Breakfast was delicious. We loved the... More

Apart from the location of this Guest House/Hotel there is nothing attractive about this hotel. The bed was reasonably comfortable and the room/ bathroom was clean. The breakfast was one of the worst i've had in a long time. The staff were pleasant, but I would not recommend. More

I always think first impressions are important. We had booked the best room in the house (aparently) The Collection Suite. I don't know if it was that we are a gay couple but the reception from staff was frosty. It happens sometimes unfortunately and we tend to ignore it unless it is really bad so we got on with booking... More

The Old Bank House is a great place to stay in Kinsale. It's location is ideal, it is decorated nicely, the staff is great, and the breakfast is wonderful. My sister and I were in room #2. It is in the back of the hotel and quite large. More

My wife and I were looking to spend a few days away from Dublin in a few nice hotels and I had read the reviews on Triadvisor and was therefore very disappointed in our stay, having picked the hotel based on the reviews. On arrival We had to wait at the front door for several minutes before anyone come to... More

The rooms had so much character, Amazing bathroom, the view from the front, fantastic. Nice commons area, with free internet use. The breakfast was included and it was my favorite during our trip. We went off season so the rooms were affordable, but if you go in March everything in Kinsale closes early with the exception of a grocery store... More

Had 2 nights here with one dinner in the blue haven for €180. It's really fantastic value. Food in the blue haven was top class. The breakfast room in old bank house was full of wasps though! Rooms are noisey, Walls paper thin but I'd still stay here again, it's perfect all things considered More
