We had a wonderful time staying at the Pembroke and would definitely stay again!
Pros:

The property was very clean and comfortable, and it was right in the middle of Kilkenny city center so it was a short walk to everything. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and never seemed to mind answering any questions we had about the hotel, Kilkenny and anything in general. The food was wonderful, the spa was amazing, and the room and staff were top notch. We loved every part of our stay!

Cons:

There weren’t enough parking spaces on site, but a car park was only a short distance away so that wasn’t too bad.

Pros:

Accoglienza cordiale e professionale. Pulizia degli ambienti ineccepibile. Letti molto comodi. La colazione è eccezionale, 10 e lode. I ragazzi del bar disponibili e cordiali, alcuni ragazzi italiani che lavorano lì sono stati molto disponibili. Nota importante: il parcheggio dell'albergo è vicino, custodito e gratuito.

Perfect location to easily walk to everything! Clean, friendly.. overall a very enjoyable experience!
Pros:

Great location, nice size rooms, friendly staff, bar downstairs!

Cons:

The bed was really uncomfortable, unless you like a really firm mattress .. then you’ll be ok. It’s just a personal preference. Otherwise there are no complaints about this property !
