kitchen

I stayed here recently and it was not a positive experience.
The room I stayed in did not have a kitchenette as advertised, nor did it have a window so it was dark and musty. It was evident that the rooms were not cleaned at all - everything was covered in dust. There was cobwebs in every corner & I counted 9 spiders in my room alone. 
The front door remained unlocked at all times, and I wasn’t even given a key to lock the room I was staying in, which is unacceptable. 
I would not recommend staying at ‘Joys’ & certainly will not be returning.

Extremely Disappointing Stay

Casual and private. Perfect walking distance to downtown Kinsale. Very enjoyable backyard deck for hanging out in peace and quiet and for bringing a tasty dinner back to enjoy with travelling friends. Soft coloured purple doors a bonus, on a personal note.

This was the second worst place we’ve ever stayed in over 40years of travelling!  There was no service to speak of, the walls were paper thin and we could hear every word the people next door, the floors all creaked an we heard every move made in the whole place, it was the most expensive than any of the four star hotels we stayed in on the rest of our three week trip in Ireland...a disaster!

Perfect Location!

Great location, hotel is a little tired.  Joy was very nice and run a quiet hotel.  street parking and I was lucky and got one just outside. No breakfast, but provides tea and coffee.  I think it was a good price and I would stay here again. Wi Fi was spotty.

Great location

We spent 2 nights at Joy's accommodation and it catered for our needs perfectly. We felt so chilled out there and it was like a home from home experience..it was quirky, and had a lovely decking area if you want to sit and have a smoke, or to soak up some rays..

Fab location 

I have never stayed in such bad accommodation,  location was good owner or caretaker seemed quite friendly,  we were treated at the door by a lady wearing a old holey cardigan , room had nowhere to hang your clothes on hooks on the wall furniture was old , towels were worn & hard , in fact I thought I go e back in time 100 years wood shavings all over the floor sheets & bedding looked,  this place definitely needs refurbishment badly   , would never stay there again & also paid 73€ a night for the experience

Good location

Clean and comfortable the accommodation was ok - however the shower was poor and you had to remember to switch the immersion heater on.  The room we had in the loft had little headroom and the bathroom door was particularly low resulting in a number of painful encounters

Great location - basic accommodation

Joy was a delightful lady. I would stay there again!

Lovely stay

First the positives: the location is perfect, a brief walk from the town centre. Although the property offers no car parking on the premises, nevertheless I easily found free parking in the street nearby. There is free wifi & it works well
Now the drawbacks: the stairs needed sweeping; my room had no en suite bathroom & the shared one on my floor was not clean enough. The mat on the floor needed vacuuming & the floor had dirt buildup in the corners near the shower recess. My room had bunk beds which squeaked when I moved. The curtains were old & stained. (Nevertheless the bed was comfortable & I did sleep well.)
No breakfast is provided (unless you count a small packaged pain au chocolat & a small bottle of orange drink). 
The cost of this room for one night was 60 euros. I have been staying in b&b's around Ireland for four weeks & in my considered opinion the accommodation provided was only worth 30/35 euros at best. 
I would never consider staying here again.
