The Old Dispensary

Very lovely little hotel. The rooms were very clean, comfy and cozy.

Very clean nice room

Nice location, average price for the city, however walls were paper thin as it is an older home- just keep in mind when reserving. I guess it was in the name! Staff were friendly and quick with communication, thanks.

We wanted to try a different type of accommodation on our trip to Kinsale. The contact was very responsive initially. Had to send a couple of additional e-mails as we approached our arrival date to get a reply. When the property was booked I provided a card that I thought we be used at that time. By the time it was used the card had expired and a new one issued. My mistake. Getting to the property was easy enough with ample parking on the street. What we didn't expect were the stairs leading up to the front door and once inside. Felt like the Amalfi coast at first. Entry/exit instructions were clear and easy to follow. Room key needs to be re-keyed. Took some finesse to make it work the entire week. When additional towels were requested they came promptly while we were out. The bathroom door would not completely shut. the Unit overall was pretty clean, but needs maintenance and upkeep. The building front door does not completely close and secure. A sign is posted on the door on the inside informing guests of that, but we found the door open many times going from/to the property. I would recommend older guests consider the stairs when making reservations. While the property wasn't quite what we expected, it was fully booked. Location is very good just steps from the Black Pig restaurant and a two minute walk to morning coffee and pastries and the Post House and Kinsale Bakery. About a 5 minute walk into town. We are thankful for the Old Dispensary. Grazie

Spacious, comfortable room, great powerful shower. Nice velux windows to let the breeze in. Room 5 is top floor so a few flights of stairs to climb.

We were in apartment 6 and there was mold/mildew on the baseboards and in the bathroom. Upon entry, there was a musty smell. The bedding was damp. We ended up going to a different hotel for the 2nd night of our stay. We would not recommend The Old Dispensary to stay at unfortunately.

The old dispensary was perfect for our honeymoon getaway! It was conveniently located and had a beautiful view of city and harbor! Staff was very easy to work with!

Great location in the heart of Kinsale. Everything is walkable. The studio is beautiful, but the bed is soft, and the kitchen is not well stocked. No pans were oven safe. No paring or chef’s knives. More than a few cobwebs.

Super convenient to this charming seaside town.

No elevator and we were on the 5th floor which we were unaware of. Difficult carry suit cases up 5 flights of stairs

Place had not been cleaned to any standard.

This location is within walking distance to everything and still fairly quiet.

We did not have a working key for our room. We emailed our contact and he was unresponsive. We carried our valuables wherever we went. The dignal for the tv didn’t work. Again, the representative was unresponsive.

Lovely big room with plenty of storage. Issues were, not particularly clean, bathroom cabinet in particular. No cover on the ironing board & no remote for the TV. Jacket left from previous guest. Great location.

The property is convenient to restaurants, pubs, and other attractions in Kinsale village. It was clean and well appointed.

The location is excellent, up a few steps from street level. Bear this is mind if you have suitcases. There is a bar just a few doors away and there is some noise from here at night, but nothing too much and didn't really disturb us. The room we had was large & spacious. 2 chairs would have been better than the one chair. There was tea & coffee provided and a mini fridge in the room. The bed was comfortable with power sockets nearby. The shower was excellent. Bathroom extractor fan was broken and some of the lights were also not working. Basic maintenance items could be improved. But overall, a nice lodge for a few days.

The room was big and fine but we did not know that we had to drag our heavy suitcases up a large flight of outside stairs and a flight inside the building. The towels in the bathroom were quite old and not to absorbent. The shower was very nice, however. The bed was comfortable, and the view from the windows were nice.

The apartment was a very good size, with an outdoor space, but unfortunately it was unclean, had a significant amount of black mould throughout the bathroom, hallway and bedroom area. The stairwell, entire apartment, bedding, towels and soft furnishings smelt strongly of damp. We came away with a lot of what look like flea bits We are disappointed, we feel that the price paid was not reflected in the apartment we were given, as you will see in the pictures a good majority could have been cleaned prior to our arrival

Bed comfortable shower very good Double room but only 1 bedside locker and 1 side lamp. Room badly needing an upgrade ie paint job as very dated. Towels provided were threadbare. Small outdoor area completely overgrown so useless. Door to ensuite would not close.
