“Grand....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Went to the Trident in Kinsale recently and it does what it's suppose to do.... supplies you with B&B which were both fine, well single beds but clean and tidy and really was grand but no bit of luxury about it, I wouldn't consider it 4 star. It's a great base in Kinsale which is a gorgeous town and so nice for one town to have such good seafood! we ate in the hotel bar on arrival which was surprisingly lovely, fishy fishy - devine and the Spainard such a great pub. Our package included one evening meal in the hotel which was quite disappointing, considering how nice the food was in the bar was.... I would recommend for the location in Kinsale which is such a great town.

Dear IrishGirlAdvisor,

Thank you for your review of the Trident Hotel.

I'm sorry that the Trident didn't tick all the boxes for you, but maybe we could offer you another type of room if you chose to stay with us again. I gather that you may have got a Twin room instead of a Double which would normally be no trouble to change.

I'm glad that you enjoyed Kinsale and found the Trident to be satisfactory and hopefully you will decide to stay with us again.

Kind regards,

Hal McElroy

“Wonderful view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

We stayed here last weekend and as we arrived early Saturday we were up graded to a full sea view room which was lovely and spacious and had a great view.

The hotel receptionists were very friendly, the hotel was clean and modern, has parking, breakfast was delicious with good choice and it is at the edge of the town so perfect location. There is free wifi but the connection wasnt great in our room on the 3rd floor.

It would appear guests can use the leisure facilities in Actons Hotel (very close by). This wasnt clear from the website when booking. The hotel has a lovely bar too with lovely views and veranda for sunny days.

Would highly recommend. One thing to be aware of is the clear up from breakfast at 10:30 so arriving to breakfast at 10:25 wouldnt be ideal as everything gets cleared away.

“Just perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

This is a wonderful hotel located right there at the end of the town.
We had a very nice room on the top floor with a magnificent view of Kinsale bay
Great food in the restaurant and a very lively bar with a great atmosphere.
If I come back to Ireland, the Trident will be on my route!
