Lovely property and walkability with shops, pub and the castle. Added bonus of using the workout facility across the street that included classes, a 25 meter pool, and hot tubs
Stayed with family friends - 2 adults 3 kids.
Hotel staff fantastic, breakfast was spot on. Great location. Kids loved the pool.
Will definitely be back
Lovely, cosy hotel with great amenities right in centre of Kilkenny. Quiet, warm, cosy room. Easy parking. Great bar and the people are amazingly helpful and efficient. Will for sure be back. Thank you

Rooms feel old (no thermostat in my room). Other than that, it was sufficient for the night.
Nice hotel, good location, restaurant is good and the breakfast is excellent. Only downside was the heating in the room, radiator was not adjustable and there was no air conditioning.

Disappointing.
Ok basic hotel; significantly over priced for what it is!
Positive was the breakfast which has excellent service; negative was the bar/lobby service- the night we stayed the clear priority wasa large Christmas event; there was no accomodation for residents. Overall very disappointed.
Amazing location, easy parking, decent pool and leisure facilities, tasty breakfast, nice bar/restaurant, friendly receptionists.
Room and bathroom a little tired, cleaners not up to much especially for the daily clean.
Very nice property within easy walk to all that Kilkenny has to offer. Self park across the street was easy to find. The common areas of the hotel were very nice. The room was clean and generally in good condition. The beds were comfortable. I would stay there again and I would recommend it to friends and family looking for a place to stay in Kilkenny.
Beautiful hotel but there could have been more information given about how the lights worked. It wasn’t safe at night because the lights appeared to be all on or all off.

Issues are numerous , very poor water pressure in shower , mattress worn , breakfast buffet was disappointing
Big hotel, ok rooms, short walk from the castle. GYM and pool ok, kids enjoyed it.
The rooms are a bit cold and the heating controlled by the hotel.
The breakfast is very basic, limited choices, not tasty nor fresh. No vegetables. If I’d know I wouldn’t pay the extra for it …
I have never stayed in a hotel where I had to store my cosmetics on the floor of the bathroom. There was no shelving and the sink was a tiny sink you would see in a public toilet. In addition there was a raised seat on the toilet which I full understand should be there if requested but not as standard. The grouting in the shower area had clearly not been cleaned in some time.
The carpet both in the bedroom and hallway outside was filthy.
Really disappointing and I paid over €259 for the room only! I will not be back.
Was visiting family and stayed here for a week. Enjoyed the time spent in the hotel mainly for its high standards of service and quality of its food. Should also mention the staff were pleasant and very helpful if asked.

Stuffy room, understaffed, terrible breakfast buffet, and no charm or atmosphere to rooms or public areas. Only thing going for it is I s location but I would not recommend it.
Staff were extremely helpful and accommodating to requests. Some minor issues with the room, the kettle in the room did not work and one of the lightbulbs didn't work in the bathroom. I would definitely return despite these minor issues.
