Carlton Kinsale Hotel & C Spa - Customer Reviews

My partner and I stayed at the Carlton Kinsale for 1 night recently. The location was beautiful with lovely views of the harbour from the restaurant. The food was exquisite and the staff were friendly and helpful. We will definitely go back again.

Was married at the Carlton Kinsale and the duty manager, waiting staff and reception could not do enough for us. I highly recommend the hotel

Decided to holiday at home this year and were blessed with good weather. The hotel was fantastic. We really got good value for money. Myself, my pregnant wife and 4 year old daughter each got what we ... were looking for; great food and a really good swimming pool/spa. The accommodation was great (we stayed in the apartments) although the only complaint was the standard of cleaning wasn't 100%. The apartments were pretty clean overall but the attention to detail could have been slightly better (hair on walls in shower, crumbs on floor etc). Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't put me off staying again (I regularly stay in 4/5* hotels world wide and here wasn't that far off the mark). The staff everywhere were great, with the restaurant staff really standing out. They were great with our daughter. The pool facilities were great and we used these daily. We used the Spa and found it good too; prices were high when compared internationally but in line with other Spa's in Ireland. Only comment here would be that the relaxation room was a bit bright and also doubled as a waiting room for those about to receive treatments. A separate, less bright relaxation room for post treatment would really be welcome. Overall we had a wonderful time and have been recommending it to friends and family. (We traveled on a recommendation from friends with a young family). Great time; would stay here again. ---

On a Thursday afternoon, my friend and I jumped in her car, and ran away from home for the night.......no kids, no husbands, freedom. We chose the Kinsale Carlton, as it's only 30mins away. From the ... moment we turned in the gate, we knew we made the right choice. The hotel is so far back from the road, all we could hear were the birds singing. Surrounded by old old trees and shrubbery, we could smell wild chives and garlic. The front of house staff were THE friendliest we have encountered on our travels, they knew how to make two frazzled ladies relax straight away. Our room, overlooking the back of the hotel was fantastic, the views spectacular. Add to that the pool, C-spa, beautiful food....pure heaven. The only downside was the hotel bar, not inviting, but we wont hold that against. The hotel and staff are a fabulous find, and we will be back very soon, on our next escape. Its a MUST for everyone!! ---

Great hotel, just outside Kinsale, price is prob better than most places in kinsale & much nicer than any other hotel there. Nice restaurant with good food, bar is nice but not much atmosphere, a good residents bar. Overall a really lovely hotel at a good price. Have stayed there more than 5 times and would go back again.

I had a wonderful stay at your hotel where I was attending a wedding...The staff (especially at the front desk) were lovely and extremely helpful. I didn't eat at the restaurant but have given a 5 star ... rating for the food we received at the wedding...compliments to the chef! There was more than enough to go around and the waiting staff were very friendly... I only gave 4 stars for the bar as I felt they were a little under pressure in the smaller bar upstairs before the reception,this was not the case at the actual reception though which ran very smoothly. Overall an extremely pleasant stay in a beautiful hotel. ---

My Husband and I stayed at the Carlton for a weekend break recently and were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is nicely situated in Kinsale, handy to nearby beaches and restaurants. The room was top class ... and the staff very friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant where the food was excellent and the staff attentive. Overall a very pleasant experience.We will be back. Thank you ---

I recently organised a stay here for a group of 20. From the moment we arrived to when we left, the service was excellent. The management, reception staff and especially the dining room staff were very ... friendly. Our stay was very reasonable with getting bed, breakfast, 4 course dinner & use of the leisure centre for E79. The bedroom was very comfortable & clean, with a wonderful view of the countryside. The dinner menu was very impressive and the meal, lasting over 3 hours, was very tasty. They were very accommodating as we kept on changing our numbers and this was no problem. The leisure club was spotless. I forgot to bring both a towel & swimming cap and they provided me with both. Breakfast was fresh and tasty, even though we did not arrive down until 10.45. I would like to thank the staff of the Carlton for their excellent service and compliment them on a wonderful hotel. ---

I recently stayed at this hotel, and thought that it was excellent. The room and facilities such as the spa, made it a very comfortable stay - and it was really good value for money. Would certainly stay again.

I stayed at the Carlton Kinsale Hotel for my friends wedding in April. From the moment I walked into the hotel from the moment I left the staff were so friendly and nice. I was surprised and delighted that my room was ready when I arrived at 8.30am and the room was amazing. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about the hotel and I would highly recommend it.
