Kinsale is a beautiful little coastal city filled with warm welcoming people. Our stay at the Old Bank House was very nice. It is located right in town close to shops, activities and restaurants. We were able to purchase a 2-night special that included a free dinner at their other hotel/restaurant the Blue Haven. The food was delicious and there... More

stop at the hotel and unload your luggage as public parking is very far away and no help from the staff to assist you. We found the rooms adequate but small. By far the least favourate hotel in Ireland that we had. The computer room was without a mouse the whole five days we were there and we found that... More

We stayed in July 2011 on a trip to Ireland for our wedding anniversary. The Old Bank was in a great position by the Harbour & the service was fantastic. We would definitely recommend it to anyone. More

Location is about the only thing the Old Bank House had going for it. The place is old and run down. It was over priced and not worth the money to stay there. Breakfast was average...at best. Would not return. More

We arrived in Kinsale without a room booked. Liked the look of the Old Bank House from the outside. The girl on reception was very nice. Gave us a lovely corner room overlooking the harbor. The room was super clean, comfy bed and a newly renovated bathroom. The U.K and Ireland are not known for their powerful showers, but this... More

The Old Bank is part of the Blue Haven Hotel but in an separate building - a old Georgian bank building that is about 100m closer to the harbour. So the Old Bank itself has no bar or restaurant, although the cafe (very good) in the ground floor doubles up as a breakfast place, and the breakfast was excellent. As... More

We have spent a week in room 17 and it has been amazing. Our room is a nice size, beautiful fresh linens and a great view of the water. Large bathroom. The staff has been most Accommodating. The breakfast has a variety, the banana pancakes are the best. We used the free car park right around the block and the... More

Stayed at Old Bank during a recent golf trip to Ireland...in Kinsale close to our golf stop at Old Head. The hotel is right in the heart of Kinsale, within easy walk of great food, pubs, and shopping. The rooms were a little tight, but clean and practical. Breakfast was included in our package and was excellent in quality and... More

We stayed only one night at the Old Bank House (thank goodness). It was not a pleasant experience. The rooms are extremely dated and in disrepair (not at all like they are represented as on their website). The bedding was horrible and the pillows felt like rocks. The staff was neither accommodating nor welcoming. The one thing they didn't mislead... More
