Pros:

Das Hotel verfügt über einen wunderschönen Bereich, wo man abends etwas trinken oder essen kann (eine Mischung zwischen Bar und Lounge). Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück ist ein Traum, man kann diverse Kleinspeisen bestellen, nach Lust und Laune.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war für diesen Preis nicht sehr schön eingerichtet. Da würde man optisch mehr erwarten.

Stunning hotel and experience!
Pros:

Absolutely fantastic experience. The staff were incredible! It was a lovely gift for us on our anniversary weekend when we were surprised with a room upgrade. It made it an unforgettable experience, the Kilkenny suite is by far one of the best rooms if not the best room I've stayed in to date. The features in the room were fantastic, and the almost 360° view of Kilkenny was priceless. Every staff member we encountered was so lovely and helpful. The breakfast was gorgeous, with a fantastic menu to choose from. The hotel is in a prime location, you can be at Kilkenny castle in 5 minutes. I would return here without hesitation!

Cons:

Nothing!
