We will not return
Pros:

Location

Cons:

It was the time of the year for Communion Parties. Many other hotels we stayed at were hosting them. All others were well managed and did not adversely affect other guests, the best ones enhanced the guest experience. Kinsale managed the Communion Party poorly, with participants disrupting common areas and the restaurant and bar. The excuse that the Communion Party had paid for the hotel's services failed to respect that we and others had also paid. Poor management.

Schönes Hotel, doch leider kein Pub in Laufweite.
Cons:

Das Hotel ist doch weiter von der Stadt entfernt als gedacht. Der Shutle Bus fährt aber nur am Wochenende. Mit Uber buchen war ein Problem

Aardig personeel in de bar
Zwembad

Cons:

Geen brood als ontbijt
Ver van het centrum

À la fin, déçu par des détails qui ne devraient pas exister …
Pros:

La vue depuis la chambre côté port

Cons:

Chambre familiale alors que nous n’étions que 2. Un second lit inutile et prenant beaucoup de place… la salle de bain avec une porte de douche cassée et semblant sale ( je pense que c’était simplement la vétusté de cette dernière ) mais l’impression est la pour une nuit à 290 €…

Don’t do it.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Dinner was very vulgar and seemed reheated from lunchtime. Definitely not a hotel for independent travellers.
Breakfast was a scrum of coachtrippers and poor food.
