Erwartung nicht erfüllt
Pros:

Frühstück war gut

Cons:

Preis zu hoch, für ein 4 Sterne Hotel schlechte Zimmer (Bad), von einem 4 Sterne Hotel hätten wir mehr erwartet für 200€, zur Innenstadt 25 Minuten, Busverbindung schlecht.

Kilkenny merita, piccola cittadina, centro con pub, cordialità e disponibilità.
Pros:

Camera molto bella, ampia e accogliente. Personale disponibile e cortese. Colazione di ottimo livello, in un ambiente elegante e tranquillo. Struttura decisamente consigliata.
Durante il nostro tour in Irlanda, è stato l’hotel migliore in rapporto a prezzo e categoria. Consigliatissimo.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

It was a short walk into the town. Loved the pool facilities

Cons:

The bar area was ok but having a place to have a drink without food being served round you would be nice.
