Huge room was very comfortable. Fridge and full sized bathroom. Easy to access fresh air and central in town. Lots of information provided by host prior to check in by email. Stairs inside were wide and able to be safely navigated with bags. Did not meet hosts. Kinsale is a beautiful town with very friendly atmosphere.

Stairs. There were a lot. Outside there are stairs. No good if you have mobility problem. We weren’t able to book a lower floor. Nearby parking options are available but these are off site. Getting up to our room was a bit of a mission but once we were up there it was amazing.

Location was super handy for walking into the centre of Kinsale, which, where you’ll be spoiled for choice of fine restaurants, shopping and pubs. The bathroom has fabulous water pressure and a lovely shower/heated towel bar and the space itself had decor that was lovely, cozy and warm.

This was our second stay at the Old Dispensary and they upgraded us to a gorgeous room, however, unlike the previous room we stayed in, this mattress had a big dip in the centre, making it tricky to keep from rolling into the middle of the bed. It made cuddling unavoidable!

The rooms were huge.They are old world and beautifully kept. The location was great, you just had to walk downhill to all the little restaurants on the port.

It was a self check in.You have to text and follow the information carefully.There is really no parking.The streets are very narrow.We had to park up above on the hill and carry our baggage down 4 flights of stone steps, then up two flights of steps inside the hotel. The water pressure for showers was horrible! The bathroom was beautiful. It also had a huge tub, but there wasn't time to take a bath.

It takes a lot to get my wife excited about a room as we travel lots, however the room we had was like a film set from a victorian drama. High ceilings, chandeliers, and shutters on the windows all added to the experience. Location could not be better and on street parking outside the old dispensary was a bonus. Communication from Varun the owner via booking.com was excellent

We booked late on one of the most expensive weekends so paid more than usual for the room. That said, I cannot fault the room and the facilities.

The Old Dispensary is very atmospheric. Renovated so that it has the comforts of modern life while keeping in touch with its historic character. There were good clear instructions about how to check yourself in. My wife and I stayed for 3 nights and appreciated the way our privacy was respected while we are there. The location is great. You are really close to the centre of Kinsale with all its renowned restaurants and attractions but are not bothered by traffic noise. On Friday and Saturday nights, we heard the occasional group of revellers as they passed by. The noise didn't last long and wasn't too late at night.

Can't think of anything.

Very nice room. Bit of a climb with lower rooms apparently empty. Nice bathroom. Good ventilation. Lots of places in EU have no window or fan in bathroom so to have a window is a treat.

My one complaint was that there was no daily service by cleaning lady to swap out the cups dishes and silverware. There was a small fridge and toaster but after eating a small breakfast with tea all our silver and dishware were dirty. we had to ask to have them replaced. I didn’t need fresh towels or my bed made but you really need to replace dirty dishes.

The property was in an amazing location to town and historic sites. Kinsale was one of our favorite towns in Ireland with the harbor, shopping, restaurants and old forts, etc. So much history there.

You need to be physically fit to stay there with all of the steps getting to the property and then inside the building. We never met the property manager so that’s why I gave that question a neutral rating. Otherwise, we loved it there.

Location is ok. Close to the town not many steps Good for people arriving late as it’s self check in Had a decent iron in the room Water in the fridge

Nowhere to store luggage after you need to check out at 10am. No one at the property Squeaky floorboards Damp smell around the building Pigeons sound like they are sleeping with you through the wall! TV signal cuts out Internet connection not very stable Didn’t feel like great value for money - assume we were charged a much higher price than ‘normal’ rates as locals are aware that people are coming here for weddings.

Beautiful, spacious room with large bathroom, a short and convenient walk from the town centre. Nice information included about things to do in Cork and Kinsale. Helpful directions to available parking.

Parking was difficult (though that is an area-wide issue, not specific to this property, it is worth noting that dedicated parking is not available and nearby parking spaces become filled quickly and may be hard to navigate in and out of on narrow streets). Be aware the top floor apartment requires climbing several flights of stairs!

We love the location, close to restaurants, pubs and harbour and the great covertion made of the former dispensary to a warm and inviting space. The handy parking just 20 steps further up above by the old bowling green is great since parking can be at a premium in Kinsale

We stayed here some years previously and had a room with a great view. Sadly this time we had a window looking over some rooftops but we weren't there to take pictures so no harm done.
