Hotel was a quaint older building. Lots of charm and character, clean, good location -- but the mattress felt as old as the place and I did not get good sleep. When paying a boutique hotel price, I expect to have a comfortable, modern bed.

Wonderful little bespoke hotel

Lovely boutique hotel right in the centre of Kinsale. Beautiful rooms and spotlessly clean. Nice staff - very friendly. No bar or restaurant but not needed as the little cafe on the ground floor was lovely and there are plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. Totally recommend staying here.

Great location - right in the center of town. The building is very old and well maintained however the windows didn’t fully open or close so noise and cooling were hard to manage. The bath was very modern for such an old building.

Overnight Stay

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Old Bank House in Kinsale. The charming atmosphere, historic ambiance, and impeccable service made for a delightful experience. While the TV reception was subpar, the overall warmth and character of the place more than compensated for it. I would gladly return for the unique charm and excellent hospitality.

Friendly Staff and Good Location

Location is great and staff were super nice. The room itself was a little tight and tired. Parking can be a nightmare anywhere in downtown Kinsale, so if you don't have a car, you'll be alright.

Perfect stay with the most comfortable bed ever

Friendly welcome from both receptionists in Blue Haven & Old Bank Townhouse. Hotel is in a beautiful building located right in the heart of Kinsale with views over the marina. The rooms are of a very high quality with original period features, very clean and the large bed was one of the best we have ever slept in. Dinner in the Blue Haven restaurant is not to be missed and breakfast in the Old Bank House cafe was divine. Just wish we could have stayed longer.
