Pros:

Comfortable beds and rooms big enough. Very nice decoration of the whole hotel. Good breakfast. No problem with parking places.

Lack of restaurant for evening dinner on site is the only negative thing.

Cute & Quaint in Kilkenny
Pros:

Cute little quaint and quiet hotel, within a 25-min walk of the town centre.

Cons:

Room could have been a touch cleaner. We noticed a former guest's beer can on the floor, but otherwise was well-kept.

Pros:

Breakfast was below average for my taste; had I known, I would have booked without it. The property is quite worn, but it was clean and comfortable, and the staff were kind.

Ganz stabiles Hotel, in guter Lage.
Pros:

Es war gut zu erreichen. Es gab genügend Parkplätze. Die Bar bietet vernünftiges Bier und ab 18 Uhr dann auch ein bisschen was zu essen.
Das Zimmer war ausreichend groß. Frühstück war auch in Ordnung.

Cons:

Es ist ein bisschen abgewohnt. Die Möbel haben viele Kratzer und sind nicht mehr so gut in Schuss. Auch im Bad haben die Silikonfugen schon sehr gelitten.

A bit expensive but workable solution for Kilkenny
Pros:

Friendly. Easy parking. Location (easy access to Central Kilkenny). Bed was reasonable size as was the room.

Cons:

A bit of noise from upstairs but not much to complain about. I suspect it was high season but the cost seemed a bit out of line with the location and quality of the offer.
