Water pipes vibrate loudly all the time. Only 1 mug. Very few supplies such as sugar. Bed sagging. Curtain broken. Signs everywhere. Warnings not use make up. Damp smell in hallway. Broken socket behind tv. No welcome pack.

The room is very large. But there is only 1 chair to sit on and loads of room for a small table and some chairs. The floors are very creeky and you can hear all the neighbouring rooms. This place has great potential in an amazing location, but needs a tidy up. Parking was ok but would be a nightmare in peak season. I learnt after staying that there is a kitchen onsite. It would have been nice to know this before hand. There is no common area to sit and read a book or mingle with other guests. The heaters were not on during the first night and it was freezing. You are basicslly staying in a hostel without any ability to socialise.

The amount of stairs to get to the front door made it difficult to get luggage up and down . The room was nice We had issues with WiFi password could not read the handwritten password on paper in hallway . Never got sorted out . But location was perfect o walk to restaurants and shops .

Clean, very nicely decorated, very spacious room and bathroom. Can only be reached by short walk up the stairs, but this was clearly mentioned in the posting. Our toilet did not flush. It was repaired the next day, but should have been taken care of before our arrival. I recommend this property

We had a spacious room with a great bathtub. We were able to find street parking easily and could walk wherever we wanted to go. There was a little confusion with the check in only because we did not get the email letting us know how to find the key and get in. There was a nice gentleman there cleaning and he helped us out. I would stay there again and would definitely recommend it to others. Kinsale is beautiful.

Beautiful place & easy self check in. Building was very difficult to find. Hidden in the back and we had to ask Locals how to get there… once we found it, it was perfect. Clean and had all we need. Within walking distance to all the main sites. Worth staying at!

The outside is very poor, I was dreading going inside when we finally opened the front door. The actual room was very nice. The towels were very worn and old. We also had a bat in the room. Don’t think I’ll stay again.

Room 5 is top floor, up several flights. Room was okay, however this was the attic room and it was quite hot. There were also no operating windows, only skylights that did not open. I think this is a definite violation in terms of fire safety. Checkin was contactless. Location is not immediately obvious. There were no electrical outlets in bathroom and no mirrors elsewhere so hair styling, shaving had to be done sans mirror

Property was very nice, attractive room however the bed was uncomfortable and the ‘king’ size bed was a ‘queen’ size. Also it should be advertised as on a hill with only way to reach it is climbing steps with your luggage.

We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Varun was a fantastic host, gave us all the information ahead of time and left us to it (whilst still making us feel welcome). Our room and bathroom were much bigger than expected with incredible views, clean and quiet. Will absolutely stay here again if back in the area. Thanks for a great stay!

My partner and I had a lovely stay at the Old Dispensary. This was our second time staying there and I would go back again. I am a fan of the no-fuss check-in where you just collect the key and let yourself into your room at check in time and leave the key in the box when you leave. It is a stone's throw from the centre of town and there are some great restaurants and pubs a few mins away. Would recommend to anyone.

In the heart of Kinsale next to some of the best food restaurants in Ireland. Meri (the manager) was attentive to our needs and made reservations for us when we arrived late so that we did not miss out on the food experienceWe stayed 3 days and filled each day with great experiences including a 2Km walk to the old fort of Charlestown, educational and inspirational.
