Wonderful

We liked our stay in Actons. Nice harbour view rooms. Compliments to house keeping. Food in the bar was good, the lighing was too bright which stole the ambiance otherwise all good. Good breakfast. Worth noting that vegan options around town in restaurants were very bad but Actons have a limited vegan menu, but at least they have one and it is good.
I was fortunate enough to get a room here. It was far more luxurious than what I had paid for. At one point I ordered room service and they forgot to ask for my room number. When I called back later they apologized profusely and then comped the meal. They didn’t have to do that. The care for the customer is top notch

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
1st class yet unpretentious. Great location for everything. Awesome gym, large bedrooms. Really nice people.
We had a wonderful stay at Acton’s , the room was superb. The staff were amazing , very welcoming and so willing to assist with everything. We will be back.
Beautiful, but not worth it on this particular day
Kinsale is a very beautiful town and it is a bit on the pricey side because of its “foodie capital of Ireland” reputation. With that said, Actons Hotel is overall lovely. My issue was that on the night we stayed there was a wedding (maybe two) and the wedding crowd partied until about 5am, moving in and out of rooms, socializing in the halls, and being very loud. Repeated attempts were made to get them and/or the front desk to put an end to it, but it never happened. Quite a shame because this is a nice hotel. But for the price we paid to get no sleep is really unacceptable.
I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Beautiful view across to the boat harbor. Excellent breakfast including eggs to order, friendly and helpful staff. Walk to all the interesting shops and restaurants.
Beautifully upgraded and spacious room.
Only wish we could have stayed more than 2 days!
The room was beautiful, clean, and spacious. The staff was great, the breakfast was delicious, and the large parking lot was super convenient. Plenty of restaurants/pubs within a 5-min walk.
Checked in at 4pm and booked room was not ready. So at least they upgraded us. Weren’t overly friendly. Room was nice. Good location for eating out and close to shops.
What a wonderful clean comfortable hotel. We had a view of the harbour that was amazing to wake up to. The breakfast was delicious and beautifully presented. Everyone was really helpful…cannot say enough good things about it.
