Room was clean and spacious and quiet in spite of overlooking a busy road. Check in staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good, some minor issues need attention , no cups for tea and coffee. Bar food was ok, wait staff seemed under pressure. Overall a really good stay,would recommend and would return.

The hotel is beautiful and has an excellent location. The room was just average. It was very warm and had no AC. The bathroom towels are very poor and the outlet situation is not great. No outlets at nightstands to charge phones or plug in a fan. Pillows were nice.

It’s a lovely hotel, very comfortable, it reminded me of one of the old Irish railway hotels. ( My father worked for them so I stayed in a lot) Great breakfast, beautifully presented. The salmon and Scrambled eggs were excellent and the poached eggs too. Our thanks to the chef. Super friendly staff, Arran? was great. We were given a cocktail in the lovely bar, which was a nice treat. There was nice music in the bar, Only teeny wobble was our room looked as if the cleaner hadn’t finished, or had been called away. Hotel very central, super close to Kilkenny Castle, but very quiet.
