Top Desmond Castle Hotel Reviews

Blue Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"WoW! Superb hotel in a great small town I would go back"

The River Lee Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, an easy walk to St Finbar, the English Market and all the CBD stores. The NRG Gym was really good though the weekend hours open a little late for me. The restaurant and lobby lounge bar were really good, lots of choices at reasonable prices. My only complaint was the parking. On check in we had to circle the lot for 30 minutes. We would gladly stay here again though."

The Dean Cork

8/10 Good

"The hotel is lovely, the only issue is the train station next-door. It was very noisy on our side of the hotel with trains running until midnight and they began again at 5:30 AM"

Old Bank House Kinsale

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely older property with character- this means it is not modern and perfect. If you find this kind of thing charming, this is the place for you. Our room was spacious, quiet and not overheated. Jude in reception was very nice. Breakfast was top notch. Would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves in Kinsale."

White Lady Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I was greeted by Anthony the owner when I first arrived. I travel a lot & I don't think I've ever had a more friendly arrival in my 30 years of traveling! The restaurant was amazing with flavorful food & the bar was maybe even better! I will definitely be back next time I'm in Kinsale!"

Perryville House

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Perryville. The location was excellent. Check in was a breeze. The bellman was especially helpful throughout our stay. He offered assistance by directing traffic and pointing us in the right direction when we left. The room was huge with an amazing view. My only suggestion is that if there was a safe in the room we couldn't locate it. Thank you, and we hope to come back."

The Glen Quarter

10/10 Excellent

"It was absolutely beautiful."

Kinsale Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

Summer Cottage in Kinsale
