Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good
"The hotel has a great location just steps from pubs and shopping. Parking is across the street in a multi-use lot but is reasonably priced. The pool area is nice as well. I found the staff to be a little standoff-ish; I wish that they had been a little friendlier."

10/10 Excellent
"Staff were friendly, room was immaculately clean and spacious. Lovely view and convenient location. I was in town for an event on the Sunday and had friends staying in a hotel on The Mall who were kept awake late with live music and noise on the Saturday night so was very happy with our quiet and peaceful hotel - even slept with the windows open and could hear the river."
