Reviews for The White House
Review 1：Bare in mind this is a lively music venue and rooms are directly above the bar.
Review 2：Great atmosphere, attentive, friendly service. Even when pub is packed, service is extremely efficient. Restaurant food is fairly good but the breakfast is gorgeous. Good quality ingredients in generous portions.
Review 3：A little bit of noise from the street, but that is a small price for being in the heart of things.
Review 4：Right in the heart of Kinsale, close to the harbor, shops, other pubs with live music, and a couple of great old churches up the hill.
Review 5：live band made it impossible to sleep until 12:30 am, small shower, king bed is really two twins- so you have the ridge preventing you from comfortably sleeping near the middle, Resturant food was not very good.
Review 6：Great location, clean room and friendly staff.
Review 7：Just one small thing regarding the stairs,which are narrow.
Review 8：It is very easy to find out the hotel when you arrive in the Kinsale town center., It is extremely nice of all the staff, very helpful, pleasant. Excellent breakfast. Spacious, clean, beautiful room.
Review 9：Room lighting a bit dim.
Review 10：Fabulous customer service at all levels. Delicious breakfasts and evening meals. Great entertainment. Hotel close to everything in town centre.
Review 11：The Inn was situated smack dab in the middle of the town which makes for easy access to all the sights. The staff were wonderful and informative about the area. The breakfast was a delicious array of choices. We would definitely return.
Review 12：This was not a problem for me - but if one had a big suitcase or trouble with stairs it would be difficult to haul bags up the narrow stairs
Review 13：Quaint, great food and location
Review 14：Beer barrels from establishment across the road being put out late at night.
Review 15：Excellent position in the town. Comfort, staff etc wonderful. Room was beautifully furnished.
Review 16：Nothing.
Review 17：It was all lovely. Very clean. Good shower. Good breakfast with very friendly staff. Entertainment at night was brilliant. Receptionist was really helpful on leaving, helping us with our next destination. Great location.
Review 18：Although the live music every night was great, we had a room above the bar and they did not finish playing until 11.30 pm
Review 19：Everyone very helpful and friendly. Position.
Review 20：Noticed Barman very rigid on cut off time for serving food.
Review 21：Location is what sells this place. Staff very good and good atmosphere in the bar at night.
Review 22：Everything about The Whitehouse was brilliant. Great location, fantastic staff, rooms lovely decorated, bathroom spotless. Fabulous food in restaurant and breakfast cooked when ordered - not pre cooked and sitting for hours in a heated container. Also had four choices for breakfast!
Review 23：could do with a lift,, Also night porter should have been on and in control of rowdy guests coming in at 3.30am and waking the other guests.
Review 24：really friendly staff clean room,
Review 25：The employees were wonderful. We had car trouble and ended up waiting 3-4 hours for the car rental company to send someone. The woman at Reception called the car rental company a few times to express her displeasure at how they were keeping us waiting. They let us keep our bags in our room past check-out time and also gave us coffee while we were waiting.
Review 26：As it was so central found it very noisy from the bar below and the traffic seems to go all night
Review 27：Great pub and restaurant down stairs, excellent location and the staff were really friendly really nicely decorated room and bathroom lovely big bed with great view from windows
Review 28：Lighting in bathroom was terrible,like shaving in the dark. Second, our room was over top of pub,so music kept us up at night until music was over.
Review 29：Location
Review 30：A nice stay, however there is no lift. If you have heavy bags and are on the top floor it may be hard. No allocated parking, so you need to park on the street where you can. If you arrive later it is easier as there is unmetered parking available at the back of the hotel.
Review 31：Our room was on the 3rd floor and we had 2 heavy bags to haul up (2 weeks in Ireland). Parking was hard to find when we got there - Sunday afternoon, apparently a premium time when folks come to town. A tough first impression after a hard drive to get there.
Review 32：The location was terrific. Right in the heart of town. Staff were very nice - helpful and with a sense of humor. Adding on breakfast after the fact was easy and reasonably priced. Room was small as is normal anywhere in Europe, but very comfortable.
Review 33：More a suggestion: Reception area a little small with doorway right on narrow footpath of street, bit tricky trying to enter/exit with luggage.
Review 34：Staff very welcoming and helpful during stay. Food in restaurant was lovely. Location excellent.
Review 35：Small room, very little natural light and if you opened the window it was opposite the kitchen extractor fans and soon smelt like a deep fat fryer!
