Stayed in the Blue Haven for 1 night. Had booked two rooms....a superior double and one single.
Superior room was good.... as one would expect for the price, however the single room left a lot to be desired. It was a long corridor type room, very dark and stiflingly hot with NO air conditioning. My friend complained about heat but was told there was nothing could be done. Even if she opened the window it led directly on to a flat roof.... not the nicest of views and certainly not reassuring for a single female. When I complained, the management said they were aware of problem with room 9 but nothing could be done. Surely one should be warned before being assigned this room. It was not discounted and also we were not looking for cheap accomodation. Overall the hotel was okay, good location etc but make sure you ask what number room you are assigned if booking a single room!!

Nice boutique hotel in Kinsale. Respectable rooms and bathroom. Breakfast is included with your stay. Wireless internet service is a plus. First floor is made up of several nice restaurants and bars. A good place to stay if you don't mind splurging a little.

We stayed in June and the hotel was not nearly as nice as I expected. I din't find anything special about it at all. Our room was a little worn and unfortunately faced the street where the party goes on until after 4am. There is no elevator so be prepared to schlep your bags up the stairs. It is in a good located in Kinsale which is a lovely village.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blue Haven. Kinsale is a cute, picturesque town south of Cork, and the Blue Haven fits in perfectly for all travelers. We rented three standard rooms, and while the hotel cautions that the rooms are small, they were more than adequate. The front desk staff was excellent, allowing us to have a small birthday celebration in the lobby, and the bar was very comfortable and nicely appointed. The breakfast was very good, and the gentleman serving breakfast, helpful and pleasant. Parking is crazy in Kinsale in August, but the hotel front desk was very helpful in directing us to a convenient parking lot.
