The Blue Haven Hotel

Breakfast was OK...better first morning..

Location was good pity there was no onsite parking.
Room quite small. Weak shower. Good that there was a fan in the bedroom.
We particularly missed having a buffet at breakfast for first course. Food was delicious but far too much of it and we would have taken less if it had been a buffet. As it was we ended up leaving a lot of food which we don't like doing.

Room was big, but it was expensive. Very well kitted out with lots of mod cons and toys.. air fan was a big hit with the American cousin! Breakfast was very nice, although it was very slow to land out, but worth the wait. Bar nice, good atmosphere, staff knew their stuff, cocktails etc... Staff on Reception were lovely good banter and very helpful.

Although the location is on the main street this is a VERY tired hotel. Travelers should note that there is no lift so you will be carrying bags up several flights of stairs (which were being painted when we were there). Although bedding and towels were clean, the carpet, window etc. were filthy and furniture very worn.

This was my second stay at Blue Haven and it lived up to my previous experience. Consistently high-quality food, comfortable accommodation, and friendly service. It’s become my preferred place to stay whenever I’m in Kinsale.

Schönes Hotel mit leckerem Esser. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und sauber. Sehr zu empfehlen.

L’emplacement. Le Rez de chaussée est bien.

Location. Nicely appointed rooms.

Stayed here with family and had a fantastic experience. The staff were welcoming and accommodating, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The restaurant served delicious meals that everyone enjoyed, which is not always easy with a family group.

We spent a weekend in Kinsale and couldn’t have picked a better location. Everything was within walking distance, and Blue Haven had a lovely atmosphere throughout. The food was outstanding, especially the seafood dishes. We’d happily return.

Reception staff were great

The food at Blue Haven was the highlight of our stay. Every meal felt carefully prepared, with fresh local ingredients and plenty of flavour. Breakfast was excellent and dinner exceeded expectations. The hotel itself was comfortable and well maintained, but the restaurant Rare alone is worth a visit.

Excellent location, fabulous food and the best customer service, in every department, that I’ve had in ages. Isla at front desk was super and the restaurant staff were wonderful. Housekeeping staff also so friendly and helpful.

Great location, nice staff & excellent breakfast.

Lovely hotel in the centre of the town. We stayed at The Blue Haven Hotel for 2 nights. What can I say ….. the staff were superb. We were very welcomed by the reception team on arrival. We dined in the Bar on the first night as their fine dining restaurant Rare was closed on a Monday. The food was delicious. To top off the night they had live music & the two guys playing were very good. The breakfast team in the morning were very friendly and got time to speak with all the guests.
The hotel was under refurbishment which all looks very exciting.
While we didn’t get the chance to dine in Rare on this occasion we will most definitely be back over the summer to The Blue Haven Hotel their fabulous hospitality again.

5 stars all round we will be back

Great Staff - Arrived late that staff were so helpful - even kept the kitchen open so that I could get something to eat - Everyone went out of their way to help - real hospitality!!
