Cute, clean, 1-2 night stay only
I see a future problem with the drain in the shower. The pan fills quickly and overflows. We could Not do anything on the Wi-Fi (play games, access websites - hotels.com etc. it pulled my email but I couldn’t click on any links to continue with other business. I wouldn’t recommend for more than a night or two.

This was a cute boutique hotel in the middle of the town. Parking can be a little hard to find at first but there are some nearby spots in the street behind the hotel. We were running late past the check in time and they were able to set up a code for us to do self check in which was extremely helpful. The hotel is only about 5 rooms so it feels small and intimate.

Great spot in the heat of Kinsale
Beautiful new property! They were finishing up a remodel while we were there it seemed. Room was adorably decorated and well done. We were on the first floor and could easily hear noise from upstairs, so if you’re a light sleeper maybe request the second floor. When we checked in we had to do so by 6PM when someone was there, didn’t know this ahead of time so glad the timing worked out. There is not a front desk or staff there around the clock so just be mindful of that. Although, it looks like a door code may be being added for future check ins, not sure. Overall very cute and comfy room, location was great and easily walking distance to everything in town. Would absolutely be back for a visit again!

Wow and Epic doesn’t explain how awesome!
The Glen Quarter is EPIC! It’s centrally located, super easy and comfortable to walk everywhere. The room was spacious, super clean and well cared for. The staff was great at communicating and assisting us with a later than intended check in (the adventures of Ireland). I’d highly recommend this as a true destination spot and epic destination.

The Glen Quarter Kinsale is a very modern studio accommodation in the old part of Kinsale, very close to everything. The staff were great to talk to and told of great places to visit around the town.

Fantastisk fint rum och trevlig personal
Fantastisk fint hotell/B&B. Vårt rum kändes helt nytt och var väldigt fint inrett. Fans t om morgonrock och tofflor. Stort rum och badrum och en mysig uteplats. Personalen var super trevlig och hjälpsam. Väldigt centralt läge i vackra Kinsale och nära till alla barer, restauranger och shopping. Ingen parkering, men det fanns gratis i närheten. Bästa hotell vistelsen på flera år. Kommer gärna tillbaka. Lite lyhört bara om man får pratiga grannar.
