Very unique and charming room. Very quiet. Not a traditional hotel with staff so you have to figure things out yourself ( ie how the coffee maker works) but very good value.

Maje Sure to get the Right Room!

Was given a lesser room. Questioned at check in but did not get King room we paid for. Full bed was too small.

Room was too small- no room for luggage. Bathroom didn’t have a plug. Unable to adjust temp in room. Toilet paper rack fell off wall. Fitted sheet was old and rough to sleep on. Location was good. The room looked nice and modern but not comfortable for 2 people for 2 nights.

Beautifully done property within walking distance of the quaint little town of Kinsale. My only minor issue was that I was not given check out instructions and I did not get a response when I asked about it through both text message and Expedia messaging. Other than that, wonderful stay.

Excellent hotel in heart of Kinsale

Beautiful room in the heart of Kinsale. Within walking distance of everything. The rooms appear to have been recently renovated/updated. All furnishings and fixtures are in excellent condition. The room was very clean. The bathroom was wonderful with an extra large shower. I wish all hotels were like this one. I can’t say enough good things about this hotel.

Near the heart of Kinsale. It’s a little hard to find if you’re not looking closely, but it’s incredibly nice and well-kept.

Loved it

We had a great one night stay at the glen quarter. The room is small but very well designed and sparkling clean. Centrally located in the heart of kinsale. Since we came off season we parked right behind the building. Two doors down from a perfect breakfast spot with delicious cappuccino. Highly recommend for a short stay. Keep in mind that parking could be a challenge during the peak season.

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.
