This was our first stop on our 10 day driving tour of Southwestern Ireland and we were already feeling lucky. Our room was overlooking the water and was very quiet. We had flown all night from the United States, we were exhausted and it was pouring down rain so we took this opportunity to sleep all afternoon until dinner and... more

Great view of the bay. Rooms are avarage and need a bit of an update. Bathroom is nice. Location is a quick walk to the heart of the town. It's a quiet hotel. Breakfast is okay. Free and easy parking which is key in Kinsale! Not sure if I would stay there again but it would not be disappointed if... more

We had a beautiful room, No 119 – the Castlepark Suite. The best view across the harbour. Food is good in the bar on the ground floor but the breakfast wasn’t up to standard. The bacon was unchewable and the kipper not too good either. What type of chefs do they have ? Stick to the fruit and cereal, you... more

We had a corner room with fantastic views from the windows in two directions. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom had sufficient counter space. The room looked a little tired - definitely in need of refurbishment. It also didn't seem especially clean. But the views made our stay very enjoyable, nevertheless. The hotel is in a convenient location for... more

The location of this hotel is perfect. The food and bar facilities are excellent but by far the greatest assest the Trident Hotel has is its staff. All encountered were friendly. articulate and caring. The presence of managers and obvious supervision lead to good standards being maintained. Our room, I would argue not 4 star standard, particularily the bathroom, way... more

We stayed at the Trident while in Kinsale, Kinsale is a wonderful town. The Trident hotel was a good hotel. The rooms were large and the bed was comfortable. THe hotel is at the pier and about 5-10 minute walk to the main part of town. The breakfast in the morning was okay. The buffet was limited and the cooked... more

Attended wedding in the hotel and enjoyed stay. Food was quite good and service very good. View from bedrooms is excellent and price for room is too much but not too bad for the standard. I'm not mean person and generally dont mind paying that little bit extra in a hotel for a drink. But the prices charged particularly at... more

The website descibes how extensive refurbishment led to the hotel being awarded 4 stars in May 2007. However the en-suite bathroom of our standard room could only be described as 2/3 star! The enamel of the bath was yellow and cracked, the radiator over the bath, on which the towels were hung, was very rusted and the sealant and grouting... more

This was our 2nd stop on our tour of ireland. Kinsale was quite possibly the highlight of our trip. The hotel staff was very accomodating and pleasant when dealing with some snobby unpleasant guests that were always complaining about something. The room was smaller than we are used to but we didnt have trouble sleeping in it nor did we... more
