10/10 Exceptional

Kinsale Hotel & Spa was a great place to stay, the down-side is that it is a way out of Kinsale. ALthough the hotel does offer a complementary transfer into the town. Food was good, which was lucky since I did go out several times to find a local pub/restaurant and I drew a blank. I took a lot of lot of walks from the hotel. Parking was 'just' OK, a few times I took the last space, sorry for anyone who arrived after me,

6/10 Good

The property is well designed but a bit tired and in need of improvement beyond just painting. The hotel charges a premium for a view. That view is southern-exposure and the large windows generate a lot of passive solar heat in the room - great for winter, but the windows barely open to ventilate heat and the room air conditioner did not work at all. The shower is great but the water did not drain and would pool at the basin up to six inches. Later the front desk said none of air conditioners them chill the air and that they were not needed until recently because of "climate change". Sorry - these rooms would have always generated a lot of solar heat. Also, if the windows are open the occupant has to listen to the guests outside enjoying the terrace at night. It is not acceptable to withhold climate control from the occupants. As to the view - you need to close the curtains to keep the sun from heating up the room. At check out, the front desk really didn't seem to appreciate that our experience was unpleasant. We actually live in the area and expect to invite guests, but we will not recommend the hotel. I would recommend to others not to choose the "view" option. On a plus side for the hotel, the breakfast is excellent and professional.

Family weekend break
Hotel room was clean and roomy, nice view of the waterfall at the front of the hotel. There was a wedding on and we didn’t hear any noise. We stayed with 1 small child and a baby and the staff in the restaurant were very friendly and accommodating. The only negative I have was the room was way too hot, the windows only open on tilt (a tiny bit) and the fan didn’t seem to have any cooling function. Other than this a fantastic location and great 2 night break.
