Ottima soluzione per visitare Kilkenny
Pros:

Hotel con ristorante e bar (dove viene servita un’ottima colazione), situato nel cuore di Kilkenny. A cinque minuti a piedi dal castello, è vicinissimo (300 metri) anche alla fermata del bus in Ormonde Road dove partono/arrivano i bus da/per Dublino e Cork. Moltissimi i locali nei dintorni dove bere o mangiare.
La camera è ampia e confortevole, il bagno molto grande.

Cons:

Niente

Zuni had the nicest staff & best location! After a long flight in & travel to Kilkenny, our cozy room was perfect for a refresh before seeing all Kilkenny had to offer - all just steps away!

Perfect and I would go back again as often as I could.
Pros:

My room, including the bathroom, was gracious, sophisticated, and really comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything and surrounded by interesting shops and restaurants. The included breakfast was excellent! I had Eggs Benedict with thick bacon and spinach both mornings I was there because it was too good not to have a second time. Coffee was delicious. All staff people were excellent.

Cons:

Loved everything.

We fell in love with your beautiful city and the Zuni is the perfect place to enjoy your stay.
Pros:

Everything. The location to the city was perfect and having the ability to park beside the hotel was a bonus. The room was spacious and clean with fresh towels every day, which was such a blessing because we had exceptionally hot days in Kilkenny. The breakfast was outstanding with many choices, cooked to perfection and the coffee was top notch. The service was amazing and the servers were polite, kind and extremely efficient. The front desk staff were friendly and incredibly helpful.

Cons:

Nothing!!! There is absolutely nothing to complain about. Everything was wonderful.

Fantastic location
Pros:

Fantastic location. The room was like an oven due to the weather, no fault of the Hotels, but made it challenging.

Cons:

No ventilation in room so heat was excruciating. Sheets were not cotton.
