The room was clean and comfortable. It was very convenient to walk to many restaurants and sights we were interested in visiting. We did not dine at the restaurant so we are unsure of the food and beverage quality.

Location and Pool!

We're very happy with this hotel for our family trip to Kilkenny. We didn't rent a car and were traveling by train/bus and this hotel is perfectly placed in the city to walk to all main attractions. The pool was great with our young kids. The oldest (5Y) really liked the little led they added to our room. I recommend!
