We stayed for 1night while travelling round Ireland. I'm so pleased it was only one night. The reception staff were friendly enough but didn't assist with luggage etc. We got a room really far from reception and it was not nice. It was very dated, the lamps were broken with the lampshades falling apart, I went to the bathroom which... More

The Trident is a charmer. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are older and worn looking but the view of the harbor is priceless. We opened our windows and enjoyed the air right off the water. The beds and room need updating but still offered a decent night's sleep. The hotel is within walking distance to all restaurants...

Been here a few times now. The rooms are getting a bit tired, but the staff, food, welcome and atmosphere really are exceptional. Will no doubt be back again soon. No point in going anywhere else as it is the best hotel in Kinsale.
