Perfect for a short city visit
Pros:

The Hotel is in the middle of the city and so all interesting sites are on walking diner. People are very friendly and our breakfast was excellent.

Cons:

We had exceptionally hot days during our stay and missed air conditioning in our room.

Great place that easily met our expectations!
Pros:

Great location with close walking distance to many of the local pubs and sites to view. Staff was very nice and the breakfast was great. Parking was very convenient.

Cons:

There was a bit of a smell in the hallway prior to entering the room. The front stairwell should be blocked off since it is not used and has not recently been cleaned.

Sollten wir nochmals nach Kilkenny kommen dann übernachten wir wieder im Zuni
Pros:

Die Lage am Rande des Ausgehzentrums und der Innenstadt. Innerhalb von 2 Minuten ist man im Zentrum. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Wir hatten übersehen, dass die Standardzimmer ein Queensize Bett haben und erhielten ohne Probleme ein Upgrade auf ein Zimmer mit Kingsize Bett. Geräumiger Parkplatz direkt am Hotel inklusive. Wir hatten 30 Grad während unseres Aufenthalts, durch die Lage an der von der Sonne abgewandten Seite waren die Temperaturen okay. Unser Zimmer hatte keine Klimaanlage (Standard in Irland). Wegen der Hitze hat das Management für alle Zimmer Ventilatoren gekauft. Leckeres Frühstück und Dinner im Zuni Restaurant.

Cons:

Keine Kritiekpunkte

Nettes Hotel mitten in der City
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels war sehr gut. Das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr schön. Parkplatz ist vorhanden. Das Frühstück war sehr gut. Die hoteleigene Bar war total cool.

Cons:

Es gab keinen Hinweis auf den Parkplatz - erst nach Nachfragen gefunden. Leider hatten wir ein Zimmer über der Küche und der Ventilator war sehr laut.

Nettes Hotel mit einem herausragenden Restaurant!
Pros:

Das Restaurant im Hotel sucht seinesgleichen, herausragendes Essen!
Wir haben in ganz Irland nicht so sensationell gegessen! Klasse!
Frühstück ebenso!
Die Zimmer sind in Ordnung, alles was man braucht!

Cons:

Die Badezimmertür ließ sich von außen nicht schließen! Sonst nichts zu beanstanden!
