I appreciate the location being so close to main tourist area. Be aware of the time you are arriving as there is a very large school across the street which can be extremely difficult to navigate with so many pedestrians. The room was newly renovated and clean. Entrance to the room was outside the main hotel which was actually appreciated. The bar was good as was the restaurant for breakfast. Very charming hotel that has kept much of its history.

Great location in Kilkenny. The free parking was a bonus and it was great to be able to leave the car there and walk everywhere. We stayed in one of the newer rooms which was spacious and spotless and the shower was great! Delighted with our stay there and would definitely stay there again.
