The hotel is on the ring road for Kilkenny and is a good 25 minutes walk from the city centre. The only place to eat was the Bar area as the restaurant is reserved for coach parties. We found good restaurants in Kilkenny and free evening parking a few minutes walk away.

Disappointed

The hotel itself looks good from the outside and the lobby, however the rooms are very dated and old. The faucets and shower head are old and dirty and the room could really use a good cleaning and some updating. The breakfast was not good and the hot part of the breakfast was just re-reheated food. It did not feel freshly made. I had better breakfast at all other hotels we stayed on our Ireland trip.

Access to City Center Kilkenny was very easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the pillows could have been better. The fan in the bathroom had no shut off and was a bit noisy. The room was a bit small but big enough for the two of us.

More for Corporate Gatherings

This hotel is more for a corporate gathering than a family gathering. It was clean and the front desk person was extremely friendly. However, the bar was loud and service wa not the best. There was a private event on the top floor that wasn’t marked private and loud music played into the early morning hours.

A very good hotel in Kilkenny. This was our first time in Kilkenny and we wanted a nice place to stay hotel Kilkenny did not disappoint 👌 although its a bit of a walk into the centre of town for seeing around the sites the weather was good and we enjoyed the walk ☀️ taxis are also plentiful if you require one. We booked a room with breakfast and we paid a charge to have it delivered to the room. The food was very good so all round a good experience 😃
