Good hotel! The hotel is located nearby bus station and is very easily accessible to the rest of the town. I'd stay here again for the convenience of location. There's a rather loud bar that does live music right next to it, so it wasn't always the quietest.

Very nice hotel. Right in the middle of town. Great restaurants nearby. The regatta was happening the weekend I stayed so it was pretty much a party at night. Loud music at the restaurant next to the hotel. But I wasn’t bothered. I travel with foam ear plugs.

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.

The rooms were clean and well maintained. It was impressive they had Dyson dryers in the rooms: bathrooms were nice and the shower/tub combination was appreciated. The only negative was there is no elevator.

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.

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.

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.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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.

Perfect location in Kinsale

We recently stayed at the lovely Blue Haven where we had a HUGE and charming room. The bed was so comfortable and the bathroom was fantastic…great soaking tub and toiletries. The staff could not have been nicer. The location could not have been better. Be sure not to miss the wonderful Bulman Pub in the next village on top of the hill.
