    There was an issue with the sheets being delivered, so our room wasn't ready until well after 4pm and we had no sheets on the bed at this point. They were on by the time we returned from our night out though. Also, it was rather confusing because our room confirmation emails came from Blue Haven Hotel, which is where we had booked dinner, unknowing that it was the sister property, so I was a bit panicked that I'd accidentally booked a room instead of a dinner reservation at the sister hotel. NOTE - not the hotel's fault but Parking is a bit of a painful experience in Kinsale but in the end we parked somewhere else, and then moved after 2 hours to just outside the hotel and paid for another 2 hours which saw us to the evening 'free' time until 10am the next morning.

    The room was absolutely beautiful, really quite lovely with big old but quality furniture, a MASSIVE bed, a lovely view and a HUGE bathroom. Nespresso machine, and 2 lovely little chocolates from RARE which is their sister property restaurant. Location was just fabulous.

    Reception was difficult to get hold of, telephone didn't work in the room and we had to request housekeeping services as they just didn't come when we put out the door handle request sign.

    The breakfast included was fabulous and the wait staff in the restaurant were excelent. The room was lovely, well appointed and comfortable with nice amenities. Beautiful Iittle town of Kinsale is great to walk around with lots of shops, pubs and restaurants. There is a lovley beach that you can either hike over the bridge to or is just a five minute drive away for a swim in the sea. I would highly recomment this place and would love to go back.

    The heating turned off at night and the room was very cold in the morning with no way to warm it up. Also, other guests coming and going were noticeable in the quiet of the night.

    The bed was very comfortable, the location in the center of town was just what I wanted, breakfast was awesome.

    In the end we stayed at the Blue Haven Hotel (a sister-hotel) due to maintenance at the Old Bank Town House where the hotel staff was very friendly and nice. They made sure we had a great time there as well.

    The room was cold and no radiators worked at all. There was an electric heater in the fire place hearth which we could only switch on for a short time as it was so noisy. The room was really cold, and the bathroom even colder with no heating whatsoever. We did pay a higher price for Room 217 but felt that it could have been heated by working radiators instead of a small electric heater which really didn't come up to the required standards.

    We really liked the location of the hotel, couldn't be better actually. The breakfast room was excellent and the staff who worked in there were really nice and friendly. The breakfast was fantastic. The hotel was clean and tidy and well looked after.
