Could have been wonderful, but...
When we arrived, our toilet did not flush. Three different people had to come to verify that what we said was true. They moved is to another room, which was a triple above the bar. Noise from that bar past midnight made it difficult to sleep. Went down for breakfast the next morning, which tasted very good. But then within 20 minutes, I got sick and vomited. So although this hotel gave off a very good impression and was wonderfully located, our experience did not meet our expectations.

Overpriced and awful stay
Really poor stay overall and very poor value for money. €340 for one night b&b. Staff were lovely and all very pleasant at least. The hotel has no carpark, you have to use a multistory across the road which is pretty inconvenient. Room was shabby looking, needed to be painted and freshened up. It was generally very grubby too. Bathroom wasn’t very clean cracked and broken sink and fixtures looked dirty. We were charged a €6 tray charge per person for getting breakfast to our room which I wouldn’t mind paying if the breakfast were edible, which it wasn’t. Safe to say we won’t be returning.

The hotel appeared quite worn, a 70s building with a shower in the bath. The room was very bare and no fridge or coffee machine. Very expensive for the facilities in the room.

Clean and comfortable
Check in was easy and staff friendly. Parking garage for hotel is across the street but staff made it easy to validate the parking ticket for a discounted rate charged to our room Room was spacious and clean. Bed was comfortable. No fan or air conditioning however, windows could be propped open. Hotel lobby was nice with coffee bar. Breakfast buffet was average. Good location and walking distance to great restaurants, bars, live music and Kilkenny Castle. We would stay here again.
