Wonderful location for few nights in Kilkenny
Pros:

Fantastic location for the sights of Kilkenny and great to have on-site parking. Room was basic but very clean and comfortable.

Cons:

Some pre-arrival information about precise location (Apple Maps has it wrong) and car park access would be helpful

Quiet restful stay in the heart of Kilkenny with gourmet food.
Pros:

We arrived late on Saturday evening in stormy conditions. While we were taking our suitcases out of the boot, a member of staff came out of the side door and asked if we needed help. He then led us into the hotel to reception. This was a lovely touch.
The food is sublime. The care taken to make the simplest of dishes, such as scrambled eggs, is amazing. Breakfast and dinner were a joy. No need to book any other food in town. Even the sandwiches looked divine.
The staff go above and beyond to be helpful. They all look happy to work there. The room cleaner even put my daughters teddy to bed when she finished making the beds!

Cons:

The door of the bathroom is glass, so if a guest goes to toilet during the night the light wakes the other guest/s. Could there be a small light in the bathroom/mirror light so that the full light does not have to be used?
