An absolute gem of a hotel nestled in the heart of Kilkenny. Great for walk-ability to historic sights, dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. The staff couldn't have been more welcoming and helpful and the parking made staying in Kilkenny a pleasure. Heartily recommend!

This hotel was outstanding in every aspect! We hated to leave. We had castle view. Free water and alcohol in fridge. Great coffee in the room. This hotel was in the heart of the town. We received private parking in the back.

Our room was quiet. The beds were comfortable. Everything was clean. It's in a good location. Parking was off-site but is available. Breakfast was very good. It may be dependent on time - my husband had a luke warm shower but mine was hot. I also dont like the spout in the basin as it spurts everwhere but that is being nit picky.

The room was nice. Comfortable bed. The location of this hotel is great. It’s a short walk to the castle and not too far to the church. There are restaurants and bars all around the area. But the room was quiet. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone.
