Reviews for Kinselas Hotel
Linda Smythe
I recently had my 50th birthday at Kinselas ‘middle bar’. The event coordinator Luke was amazing. Communication was prompt and transparent. Our two bartenders Sean and Connor were friendly, professional and efficient. Service was fantastic. I had Sax Beatz play and my friends DJ. It was such a memorable night. Everyone commented that the venue was great. I especially loved the screen at the top of the stairs where I could display the invitation. Thanks Kinselas team - you made everything perfect!

Our roast pork (beef had run out) was the best we’ve had recently including roasts that were double the price! For $20 everything was fantastic - succulent & tender pork (& stuffing) with plenty of crunchy crackling, crispy potatoes, roast pumpkin & carrot, freshly cooked beans & gravy 11/10! 🤩 Add a glass of wine or a beer for $5!

We came here on Monday night for karaoke. Eduardo and Ben were fantastic! So good at customer service and just so kind to us! I would definitely recommend coming back to this place if these two were working! 100% deserve a pay rise! Thanks for making my birthday a treat. See you soon :)
