Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel's rooms are very generous in size, but the property is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulty due to some short staircases and the lack of breakfast inclusion. The service is exceptional, with brilliant, friendly, and very helpful staff offering excellent assistance and accommodations without hesitation. The location is excellent, in the center of town close to Kilkenny Castle and other main attractions within short walking distance, along with the added convenience of free car parking. The dining experience is basic but enjoyable, although it would benefit from less time under heat lamps. Overall, a stay here provides great value for money.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms, though a bit outdated, were spacious and clean, adding to the charm of the building. The staff was lovely and the breakfast and dinner were excellent. However, an upgrade and some maintenance are needed, as there was a damaged socket in my room for the electric kettle.
I had a great experience at this hotel. The rooms were nicely decorated and cozy, although on the smaller side. The service was exceptional, especially from the welcoming and friendly Canadian receptionist. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the main attractions. The dining options were basic, but the homestyle Japanese dishes were a nice touch.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, although a bit dated and tired-looking, were clean and comfortable. The noise from guests walking up and down the stairs was a downside, but the best breakfast I had in Ireland made up for it. The staff was nice, and the location was perfect, right at the center of everything in Kilkenny.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The staff was brilliant and friendly, and I had a nice night's sleep with a very satisfying breakfast the next morning. However, the hotel looked a little tired.
The hotel is centrally located, making it ideal for a city break in Kilkenny. The rooms could use some upgrades and were quite dusty, triggering my allergies. The friendly service added a quaint charm, but there were instances of forgetfulness. The top-class dining experience showcased old antiques, although the staff seemed understaffed. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
I found the hotel to be a bit challenging in terms of room location, with some being small and close to noisy areas outside. It was like a maze with hallways and stairways. On the positive side, the service was exceptional with efficient and helpful staff. The location was convenient to downtown, although the air fresheners seemed to worsen the surroundings.
