The rooms were a nice size and we had a balcony. However, room was not very clean and smelled of smoke. Bed side plugs didn’t allow standard adapters so it was not convenient for charging phones or CPAPs. On site restaurant was very convenient, food was decent but service was slow. Lots of parking however many spots taken by fitness club attached to hotel. Overall we didn’t feel the hotel quality matched the higher room rate.

The hotel is on the ring road for Kilkenny and is a good 25 minutes walk from the city centre. The only place to eat was the Bar area as the restaurant is reserved for coach parties. We found good restaurants in Kilkenny and free evening parking a few minutes walk away.

Disappointed

The hotel itself looks good from the outside and the lobby, however the rooms are very dated and old. The faucets and shower head are old and dirty and the room could really use a good cleaning and some updating. The breakfast was not good and the hot part of the breakfast was just re-reheated food. It did not feel freshly made. I had better breakfast at all other hotels we stayed on our Ireland trip.

Access to City Center Kilkenny was very easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the pillows could have been better. The fan in the bathroom had no shut off and was a bit noisy. The room was a bit small but big enough for the two of us.
