Netjes goede locatie
Pros:

Kamer was ruim en schoon

Cons:

Had er iets meer gezelligheid van verwacht. De foto op booking is alleen het middelste deel van het hotel waar drank wordt verkocht. De rest is moderner. Geen duidelijke receptie . Je moet naar de bar om je sleutel te krijgen. Daar kom je pas achter wanneer je op onderzoek gaat.

This is ok as a stop over, but not a destination
Pros:

It was clean and easy to get to

Cons:

The air conditioning didn’t work, so the room became very hot and stuffy. Also there was no sound proofing between rooms so when your neighbor sneezed you could hear it.

Comodissimo il parcheggio e la vicinanza al centro. Siamo partiti presto e non abbiamo potuto provare la colazione ma la sera precedente il pub era affollato. Pulito e dotato di tutto.

Nel complesso, consigliato! Si raggiunge il centro di Kilkenny in 30 minuti a piedi, oppure in macchina. L’hotel si trov
Pros:

La zona dell’hotel è nuova, si vede che è stata ristrutturata di recente. È comodo che ci sia un bar/ristorante sotto.

Cons:

Le indicazioni per l’hotel erano poco chiare, non abbiamo capito dove andare una volta arrivati. Dalla camera verso mezzanotte si sentiva musica - non so se provenisse dal bar o da altre parti; comunque, la zona non è del tutto silenziosa :(
