So surprised at this place, did not expect as much as it had to offer, it was beautiful! Food was delicious, staff friendly, everything you’d expect from an Irish hotel. Breakfast was the best (apart from my sisters house) I’ve had on my whole three week trip, through various parts of the country. Pauline, my breakfast waitress was excellent, courteous, friendly and had a word for everyone she met. A treasure.

This clearly used to be a very nice and modern hotel but it now has a bit of a dated feeling; it's still ok but I wouldn't rush back to it.

Excellent Stay at The Maritime
We had a really enjoyable stay at the Maritime. This hotel has a lovely atmosphere. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. They took time out to chat with people and made you feel like a valued guest. Food and drink service were very good and not too pricey. We had a one bedroom suite which allowed us an element of self catering but with hotel facilities. This is a perfect base location for touring West Cork.

Easy to get to and walkable to local shops and restaurants. We had a second floor room that was on the roadside and was a little noisy. If you want a hotel that’s easy to get to with parking and a great location this is the place.

Mixed Blessings!
Poor on arrival. No parking available. Didn't get requested quiet room so awake till 1am due to function on first floor! No facility for eating in bar due to same function. Staff/service was very good. Play list bit too lively for 8am swim! Seaview was more a view of Super Valu across inlet. Room was comfortable.

Take another look around, but trust me on Kimsale
The hotel wasn't fully opened with limited services. Probably not an issue in high season but annoying during my staff. A lot of new staff that were only learning so again not an issue for the high season traveller. Small gym but the equipment is servicable. Couldn't get access to the pool due to servicing which was annoying. Breakfast was limited and our breakfast was cut short due to the arrivial of new furniture. So on the plus side new furniture in the bar. Over all it was disappointing. We used this trip to suss the hotel out as a wedding reception venue; verdict: Epic Fail. Kinsale is an amazing spot and we'll be back but there are other options that would cater to your needs better. If you are attending a gig / event in the hotel it might be a solid option but not the right fit for a romantic get away or wedding reception.

Was a lovely holiday in a very nice hotel, cleaned and good service. The only problem for me was that I had to go every day to reset the room key cards, which was a little annoying especially when you had to come from the pool with the kids. Overall a very highly recommended hotel.

I loved that this Hotel was right near the water. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant was awesome. The breakfast was awesome too. The rooms were beautiful and the whole Hotel was lovely. We also had massages while we were here and they were awesome. Unfortunately we did not bring and swimming stuff and were not able to use the pool and hot tubs while we were there. The parking was also convenient.

The lobby with the open fire and gorgeous decor was very inviting and cosy especially with the weather outside being cold and icy. The room was lovely and clean and comfortable and the staff were all very welcoming and helpful. We had a lovely stay and will definitely return when we are next visiting the area. We didnt get a chance to visit the bar or restaurant this time but we are looking forward to trying them in the future. The pool and jacuzzi were also very nice and clean and not too busy.

Worse than our previous stay there.
All good with the room and parking. Also very welcoming staff at the reception desk. However, the breakfast was really bad. We paid for full Irish breakfast, but the food was cold, untasty (bad coffee, cheap beans - guessing it was the Supervalu brand) and served on a dirty table. The staff keen on to finish early - they started to remove some options (juice) before the last guests finished.
