Pros:

Goeie locatie, mooi hotel, lekker ontbijt! We hebben een gratis upgrade gekregen van onze kamer.

Cons:

We sliepen op het bovenste verdiep (3e) en er was geen lift. Voor ons niet zo'n groot probleem maar misschien voor wat oudere mensen wel.

It was a decent hotel but needs to update room
Pros:

The room was big but a bit dated. The bar and restaurant facilities were excellent. On site parking was wonderful too.

Cons:

The room we had was dated and the bed was not all that comfortable. We had to lug our suitcase up a flight of stairs.

Noisy room
Pros:

Food was delicious

Cons:

Found it difficult to sleep. Hotel needs to add another layer of glass inside the existing sash windows to reduce the noise from the main street, sounded like a window was open. Also a light on the carbon monoxide detector flashing every 20 seconds.

Beautiful hotel but needs an overhaul and lots of TLC
Pros:

The staff were so so nice, friendly and very helpful.
The room was very spacious and facilities were very good.
The location was excellent.
Parking also very good.

Cons:

I stayed n this hotel about 4 years ago and it was a fabulous hotel, very glamorous and luxurious. Unfortunately since then it is gone a bit shabby and run down. I expect it would cost a lot of money to get it back to the way it was. It needs a lot of TLC, but still a lovely hotel and I would return.

Pros:

Reception staff where excellent as was hotel and facilities

Cons:

Staff are not really that friendly as far as Kilkenny people go I was surprised as they are the friendless in Ireland.
Staff in bar had no personality and when I asked for 2 of the breakfast options next morning a rather gruff woman replied well that's two breakfasts which left me flabbergasted as she made me feel I was being greedy and it was only a bit of fruit and cereal plus a poached egg on sourdough that I wanted.
Other staff kept forgetting our coffee and showed us to our table speaking as he walked ahead and we couldn't hear a thing he said. So I'd say waiting staff need to be better trained in customer courtesy for sure.

Pros:

Una gran instal·lació amb moltes possibilitats de diversió. L'esmorzar molt complet.8

Cons:

No hi ha ascensor per pujar a les habitacions dels pisos superiors.
