Easy parking in the winter months since it isn't as busy. We were upgraded to a harbor view and the room is lovely. Loved being able to see the dolphins in the harbor in the morning. Staff is extremely friendly and our overall stay was amazing. We'd definitely come against.

Absolutely beautiful hotel by the Marina. The beds are comfortable and the waterfall shower in the bathroom was divine! You can use the indoor pool, sauna and gym at the sister property right door at no fee. The breakfast was really good; ordered eggs Benedict …so good.

Great location on the harbor. I had a nine passenger van that I had to park and it was easily doable in their parking lot. The room that we stayed in overlooked the harbor but it also overlooked the parking lot. Great restaurants, and shopping in this quaint little town. If you are playing Old Head golf course and are not staying on property, this is about the closest hotel you can get.

The breakfast was delicious, the staff was very courteous, the hotel itself was clean and conveniently located within walking distance of downtown. The downtown area has a variety of restaurants and pubs and shops - I would HIGHLY recommend staying here and checking out Kinsale.

Front desk was rude. Did not help in any way. Pat answer was to google ourselves. Taxi was impossible to rely on and wait was long. One would expect hotels to have partnered with transportation options. We were part of a group and the front desk clearly did not want us. Rooms were not ready even at 4 pm

Mine and my wife’s stay at the Trident Hotel was amazing. The location and the beauty of the hotel as we drove in to the parking lot was the first things that hit us. As we checked in, they upgraded us to a junior suite which overlooked the bay and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff were great. They were friendly, attentive, and professional. I will highly recommend this hotel to anyone I talk to you about Kinsale. Thank you for the excellent experience and next time we’re in the area we will definitely stay with you.

Recently returned back from Kinsale. I like to write reviews that help people pick a hotel!! Trip was with my husband and father with Alzheimer’s. After coming from Dingle the Trident is more “hotel” like but lovely just the same. Best parts were the great staff at breakfast. Very kind and chatty. Loved them! Breakfast was delicious! This hotel is walking distance to downtown Kinsale but not close enough that my dad could walk by himself of course. We asked for a room next to him and he was put 2 doors down which was fine. The hotel dinner was decent but desserts were better! Keep in mind this hotel hosts many Christmas parties and work functions so it can be loud and bustling. Great harbor view from our room. We watched a driving rain from our window which was fun! Bar was very quaint for the evening after the dinner rush. Overall I would recommend but next time we will try a hotel a bit smaller to capture a more quaint feel. Robin ;)
