Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a great location, perfect for exploring Kilkenny and close to tourist attractions. The rooms are spacious and ideal for traveling with friends, but some may find them basic. The service is wonderful, with friendly staff who are attentive to guests' needs. The dining options are satisfying with a good variety of hot and cold choices. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor room and dining issues to consider.
The hotel is in a convenient central location, within walking distance to main attractions and the train station. The rooms are spacious but outdated, with some cleanliness issues, yet they offer basic amenities like tea/coffee and bottled water. The service was a mix of clueless interactions and helpful assistance, including bike storage options. The dining options were satisfactory, with a good value for a full fry-up. However, the smell of cooking pervaded the premises, affecting the overall experience.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room, although small but adequate, offered a comfortable bed ensuring a good night's sleep. The location was ideal, close to the train station and main attractions, with a free car park available. The breakfast was delicious, setting me up for the day.
The hotel is in a superb location right in the town, offering free parking, and the rooms, although slightly small, are excellent and very clean with a triple bed option which is great for group travelers. The staff is very helpful, and the breakfast is delicious. One quirky feature was a random extra single bed in the room that sparked some light-hearted fun.
The hotel was a bit challenging with the air circulation in the room due to the heat, and the location was convenient but not ideal for those looking to avoid stairs. However, the hotel offered a pleasant stay with nice bars, cleanliness, friendly staff, and a top-notch breakfast experience.
