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.

Pros:

The hotel was right in the centre of the town where the atmosphere was unreal, felt like an actual holiday in a hot country paired with the heat. It was easy to locate and so handy for going and exploring lots of places without straying too far

Pros:

Could not have chosen a better place to stay! The staff were wonderful, so friendly, fun and helpful. The location was central in Killkenny with a good amount of parking spots. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, and on one day where we did not want to be disturbed they still left replacements for us such as water and towels which was a lovely touch! The breakfast was also fantastic with a tasty irish breakfast and lovely coffee. All in all a perfect stay 🙂

Cons:

Nothing negative to say!

Pros:

The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly. They allowed us to check in early, which we sincerely appreciated after an overnight flight. Breakfast was excellent. I liked the memory foam pillows.

Cons:

The room rate was expensive for the room we received. Whilst the room was clean enough there were details that made me uncomfortable, for instance, the bathroom door had handprints from the previous occupant opening the door after putting makeup on. This and the carpets made the room feel a bit grubby. Also, the entire hotel smells like food, including the lifts and corridors.

Pros:

Alle sind super lieb und nett. Das Frühstück ist lecker und liebevoll zubereitet (kein Buffet, sondern feste Speisen). Unser Zimmer war klein, aber für kurze Aufenthalte völlig ausreichend. Haben auf dem bequemen Betten super geschlafen. Wir hatten jedoch leider um die 28 Grad und im Zimmer gibt es keine Klimaanlage. Direkt unter dem Dach war es schon sehr warm. Durch die Nacht kühlt es aber wieder gut runter. Der Ventilator brachte auch etwas Entlastung. In jedem Fall sehr empfehlenswert :)

Loved our stay and will come back again.
Pros:

Location and parking our car was very easy. Car park was safe. Hotel dinner was amazing as was their tapas menu. Rooms were very spacious and were so friendly couldn’t do enough for us. Reception ladies were brilliant as staff in both restaurants.

Cons:

The room was a bit hot but we had a fan. We have noticed rooms all over Ireland are a bit warm not much to really complain about.
