SpringHill Hotel

SpringHill Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Good price. Slighting outside of town but easy to get to by car. A nice, clean hotel. The best thing, that we're very grateful for, is that the staff changed the check-in time to accommodate us so that we could attend a wedding and have a shower before hand. The only issue: the bathroom needs a toilet brush. Thanks for the visit."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

8/10 Good
"Overall fine, however there is no air conditioning. I was told it’s a rarity in most Irish hotels - and even their homes. They did provide a fan on request. Bed somewhat hard for my curvy body. The included breakfast was great - full Irish breakfast if you want."
