If you're in Kilkenny, this is the hotel to stay a

The staff at the hotel, no matter the job they have, are the best! Such amazing and friendly service. They were very informative on the area on things to do and places to eat. They were very helpful in lining up any transportation needs. I've traveled for years and there haven't been many hotels that could match their level of friendliness and service

Disturbed Night

Friendly reception and given a room away from the bar and restaurant as requested. Had dinner in the restaurant - food was fine and reasonably priced. Comfortable bed and good sized room. The room was quite warm and had no means of control. Not sure where the heat was coming from (but not outside). Our bathroom fan was continually on all night. In the corridor was a cupboard with loud and low frequency humming noise also all night. Night staff informed but they didn't do anything. Given free breakfast as compensation but does that make up for a disturbed night?

Property was in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle but only a 25 minute walk or so to Kilkenny Castle and Medieval Mile. No gym or pool/hot tub however fairly busy so did not really miss them. We asked for a fridge in advance of our arrival and it was provided. Very friendly and helpful staff
