This hotel is adjacent to everything: Kilkenny castle, shops, restaurants. We dined directly across the street at Left Bank for a superb meal. Afterwards we enjoyed the live Irish music provided in the bar area. The breakfast provided was quite good. The room was quite comfortable.

excellent location just round the corner from the castle and high street. While the hotel rooms are a bit tired looking and the bathroom is definitely due a refurb this was more than made up for with the excellent food and lively bar

Iverall the hotel is nice and unique. It isba classic, well maintained older room with some modern upgrades. My biggest complaint would be it was overly stuffy. Even with 3 fans and an open window it was not a comfortable temperature especially for sleeping even with outside air temps in the 50s and 60s (F). The bar and restaurant and staff were all great.

Fabulous Hotel right in the city centre, close to all the shops and the Kilkenny castle and the Kilkenny design centre... The room was nice, it was quite warm when we stayed but there was a ceiling fan and a floor fan in the room that kept us cool during the night... Overall it was a pleasant experience

Don’t be mistaken this is a HOSTEL. the room we stayed in was dirty. The carpets were stained and discolored all over and the chair had a cigarette burned hole in the middle. Don’t pay high prices for a mediocre stay. The only thing good about this hotel is the location, very walkable. Otherwise be aware of what you are getting yourself into.
