    Smell of cigarette smoke in the room esp in the landing outside the door. Not sure where it was coming from but it was powerful. We kept the window open and our door closed and that helped a little but it really detracted from our enjoyment.

    Location, price, friendly staff, comfy beds

    The host, Michael is lovely. Very helpful and knows everybody’s name who is staying in the building. Really friendly gentleman. The breakfast is perfect to get the day started, for a short stay it’s ideal. Located central, kept warm, tea and coffee in the room. Couldn’t really ask for more.

    It is located in a busy street in front of the river with cars passing by, so it can be noisy if the room is facing the street. But at the same time the location is so good and handy, withing walking distances of the train and the bus stations.

    We had a lovely 2 night stay in a triple room. It's a cozy place with character, comfortable beds with soft sheets, nice bathroom with a great shower, wonderful heating and tea/coffee facilities. Michael was welcoming and very nice and he serves a good and filling breakfast in a nice irish-looking dining room. We loved our time there and would like to be back.

    It was cold in the bedroom because of some problem with the heating system, it was working in a bathroom only. There is no a table and a chair but it is not so important as heating. You can have some breakfast at 08.30 only, not earlier.

    A room was very clean, especially a bed, a renovated modern bathroom. A bedroom was big enough.

    Our room was too dark. A bit of decoration could do good.

    Michael, our host, gave us a warm welcome and helped us to make our stay in Kinsale a full success. The breakfast was so delicious and all extra wishes were considered. Kinsale is a wonderful place to explore.

    The lighting. but that is my issue. I prefer soft indirect lighting, not bright 5000K daylight bulbs. Even most high end hotels use intense LED bulbs that are inappropriate for room lighting at night.

    The proprietor Joseph was great. He was very attentive and helpful. nice view of the river and conveniently located a short walk to Plunkett train station. Very large room. An assortment of restaurants and pubs on the block. An Aldi store is a five minute walk. Great place for budget travelers. I will go back without hesitation.

    The property and rooms are dated, but the room and bedding were all clean. Some noise but not too bad.

    Michael was super friendly and communication was excellent befordhand, was able to check in early as well. Breakfast sounded great at only 5 euro but I overslept... Compared to most of Ireland the value for money was great - convenient location for the station and to walk into town.

    Beds clothes and furniture (overall aesthetics are poor) and they should be upgraded with time. However, very fresh sheets and towels and good shower.

    A comfortable enough place to stay in Waterford. Breakfast for 5 euro pp was fantastic with several homemade options. Felt like home during breakfast.
