The room had a fan in it which was really great given the heatwave.

Hotel is very nice but kind of dated. Centrally located in town makes up for it. Get reservations for dinner in advance anywhere in town.

Staff helpful, ongoing maintenance/decorating work Very good breakfast Street parking- have to pay after 10.30 am until 6.30 pm

Staff helpful. Car park nearby. Close to everything- walks, restaurants, bars, pier. Really helpful and friendly staff.

Room was well appointed wit excellent electrical appliances i.e hairdryer and fan.The only disappointment was the shower poor temperature and access safety points handle in shower could be better placed room 11

My room was tiny, with poor ventilation, and there was no air conditioning. Despite extreme heat, the staff was unsympathetic and disinterested. Very poor customer service, overpriced, and not as advertised.

The room was clean and the bed comfortable. Could use a little refresh which I believe is in the works. The walls and ceilings are thin so we could clearly hear others talking and being romantic in their rooms but the windows kept the street noise at bay. We also had some unfortunate hallmates who were shouting and laughing in their room at 2:00 a.m. and we couldn't get in touch with any staff to quiet them. The location is right in the heart so very walkable to restaurants, pubs etc.

I thought this property would be gorgeous from the photos and reviews online. It was extremely disappointing and our room was very very old, dirty, and dated. Everything in our room was “yellowish”, dusty, and the carpet stained and musty smelling. This spot could be beautiful but they need to upgrade. It looks like some rooms have been updated, but some like ours were stuck in the 80’s. Just a truly disappointing stay. Only positive it is in town.

You can't beat the location. And an added surprise was the live music Friday night in the lobby bar.... so much fun.

The hotel room was a bit musty and the bed was too soft.

Good

The Blue Haven is right in the heart of Kinsale and within walking distance to many pubs and restaurants. Room was clean and well appointed. Good water pressure in the shower. The one downside was being right on the street as it was very noisy until late at night. We ate there for breakfast and it was excellent. We also had dinner one night which was phenomenal. The other downside is parking as you’ll have to first find a spot in either the car park down the street or one of the few spots on the street and pay if you arrive before 6pm or leave your car after 10:30am.

Everything was great!

The hotel is in the middle of Kinsale and so is a good spot to be able to explore the town. The downside is the availability of parking. We were able to park in a free public lot up a hill and just past a grocery store and firehouse, ( if you go you can find it on a google map ) and the walk was only 5-10 minutes at most and not a problem for most people. I'd do it again if in Kinsale.

Kind of old and tired property. Great location. Very noisy

Excellent breakfast choices and so tasty. The staff were very friendly and attentive in all departments.A bit noisy from outside but that was to be expected when people are enjoying themselves. All in all I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Room and staff were lovely! Location is right in the center of town and has an amazing restaurant. Beware, bring earplugs as the walls are paper thin. Would definitely stay again, but with the noise in mind.

My second visit to Kinsale and Blue Haven. Hotel is aging and could use a facelift. The adjoining restaurant and lounge is terrific however as is the hospitality therein. The folks at reception on the other hand are less than hospitable.

Great place great service

Clean rooms. Staff friendly
