The Old Bank House was very quaint. If you're looking for a big hotel room, ask for the Post Master's room. This room has story tall windows and looks out on the town. One pointer about parking, you must pay for a ticket that is good for 2 hours at a time from 10am to 6pm. From 6pm to 10am,... More

The Old Bank House was a great historic building with modern amenities and one of the friendliest, helpful staffs we encountered. The breakfast was exceptional. Kinsale is a wonderful town and this property was perfectly located to begin our exploration.

My wife and my 18 year old daughter booked a three-beds room. We got one facing the street. It was a large and very practical room for us. Breakfast was superb, with a large variety of choices. The overall service from the staff was excellent and very friendly. The only drawback was the wifi, it was slow/non exisisting in our... More

I stayed here as part of a group, and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. First of all The Blue Haven Collection had quoted us a group rate, which was excellent value. The hotel (while clearly an older building) was immaculate and cosy, the beds were comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and modern. Downstairs in the café,... More

Myself and my husband just returned from one nights romantic break in the Bank House.We were very happy with everything. The room was lovely, small but perfectly formed. A complimentary coffee awaited us in the cafe downstairs which was a nice touch. The location was perfect for all the great pubs and restaurants. We ate in Jim Edwards which was... More

We spent 3 nights here at the beginning of October and had a lovely time. We go to Kinsale regularly - once a year at least to visit relatives in Cork and enjoy the walks, various restaurants and general ambiance of Kinsale. We hadn't stayed at the Old Bank House before. We stayed in room 17, on the top floor... More
