Kinsale presents a modest selection of budget-friendly accommodation, with a particular emphasis on comfortable, independent stays rather than a vibrant hostel or highly social guesthouse scene.
1. Dempseys Hostel
Type: Hostel
Situated in the heart of Kinsale, Dempseys Hostel provides a simple and clean base for budget travellers. It offers dormitories and family rooms with a self-catering kitchen, fostering a relaxed atmosphere. This establishment is best suited for those seeking a quiet and independent stay, as it specifically does not accommodate large party groups.
At TFA Travel we believe in travel for all. Our mission is to enable people to explore the world as easily as possible without having to pay a travel agent a huge commission.
Our typical audience are those that want to see something new and get involved with authentic experiences of a country. Whether you are a backpacker, solo traveller, solo female traveller, straight or LGBTQ+ couple, family, you will find local and authentic experiences here.
