The hotel was very busy with lots of families.
Pros:

I liked that it was possible to walk in to the city. The food was good.

Cons:

I did not realise that the hotel was so big and that it was very geared towards families with small children.

Pros:

Nice hotel about 20 mins walk into kilkenny. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Foyer was beautiful.
Excellant room facilites - coffee machine, toiletries, safe,fridge, heater and cooler.

Cons:

Eating in the bar was very noisy due to a lot of kids. Although the hotel was comfortable, it could have been dusted in places. The bar had a lot cobwebs above dining tables and lamp shade above table we sat at for breakfast was full of cobwebs. And they werent halloween decorations!!!Window in bedroom was held open with a water bottle from a previous resident. Our room could have done with a revamp. Other rooms that were open along corridor looked far superior.The room we were in was noisy as there was an connecting door in our room with a lot children in other room.
I would go back again i would ask for a quieter room.

Parfait pour les enfants !
Pros:

Le personnel très agréable avec ma fille car les enfants sont leur priorité ! Hôtel agréable avec de bonnes prestations.

Cons:

Les clients d’un niveau social plus élevé que nous et qui ne respectaient pas trop le personnel de l’établissement. La photo de première page Booking ne correspond pas spécifiquement à l’hôtel.

Pros:

Au top dans cet établissement, l’ambiance et L’amabilité du personnel ,
Le confort des chambres ,
On mange aussi très bien dans Le restaurant de l’hôtel .

Cons:

Même si le coût était assez dérisoire , j’ai trouvé bizarre qu’on doive régler ses boissons chaudes ( chocolat au lait et latte macchiato ) au petit déjeuner alors que celui-ci est en buffet et compris dans le prix de la chambre .

To far from everything
Pros:

Pretty property, room was comfortable and clean.

Cons:

There was to much going on in the hotel, weddings and people everywhere.
If you don’t have small kids, not the best place to stay.
