This was perfect for our one night stay. The only negative I have to say is I wish we had a place to put our bags when open, but that’s no big deal. The staff was kind. Easy check in and out. Perfect area to walk to the shops. We had a great time.

Very nice Boutique Hotel. Well appointed with plentiful amenities, good sized rooms and comfortable beds. Upscale bed linens and thick towels. Staff was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations for local dining, parking and even helped get our luggage up the stairs to the second floor. I would definitely stay there again.

The staff was totally helpful with suggestions for our group of 3 from midwest USA. The accommodations were new, fresh, clean and comfortable, with much-appreciated complimentary drinks and wash items. No elevator, but that posed no problem for us with the nicely carpeted stairs. Thank you, Glen Quarter!

The Glen Quarter was a beautiful place to stay. Furnished to a high standard and really convenient for the nearby shops and bars. The only thing I would mark down on was that our room was a little on the small side and there were no blinds at the windows meaning we had to keep the curtains shut after coming out of the shower. Apart from that it’s really lovely place to stay. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Special thanks to Ciara who recommended restaurants for dinner and places to visit.

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.
