The location is great and offers ample parking. The breakfast included is amazing. There were only 2 issues we incurred. There is no elevator and if you have a large suitcase beware! Moving it up all the stairs is a physical challenge. Also our room was above a party area that blared music until 1am and then the loud party talkers went to 2am. Hey, it was a saturday night! But choose your rooms wisely

Rooms are very basic. One must know prior there is NO elevator. Heavy suitcases are hard to maneuver throughout the stairs. Brkfst served is very fantastic. We did stay on a Saturday night and the music downstairs was horribly loud until 1am and then the party went on until 2:30am. All in all I would return but choose my room away from the hotel party area

Loved the historic feel to the building and room. Breakfast was a delicious traditional Irish breakfast. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They accommodated an early check in and kindly held our bags before our departure. Would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is located in the center of Kilkenny, extremely convenient to walk to Kilkenny castle, cathedral, shopping and dining places. We parked our car at the hotel and walked around. The parking is behind the hotel you will need to follow the specific instruction given by the hotel. The hotel is a boutique hotel and the furnishing and bathrooms are not like the modern ones but we liked it.

Not what I expected

Pros for this property: -tissues were provided (many accommodations in Ireland -do not provide them) -restaurant located in the hotel -breakfast included; it was good -proximity to Kilkenny Castle and other attractions (easily walkable) -numerous restaurants and shops walkable from the property -small oscillating fan -car park location was convenient Cons for this property: -phone in the room to contact reception did not work -small oscillating fan was incredibly noisy (we asked for a replacement, but they were unable to provide one) -bathroom floor and shower stall need updating, and therefore appear dirty -no hooks for towels, bathrobes, etc. in the bathroom (at one time there was a hook on the back of the bathroom pocket door, but it was never replaced) -non-slip bathmat provided was moldy on the underside -mug provided was dirty (had cake frosting stuck to the handle) -top of electric kettle was dusty -hairdryer provided shuts off if it gets too hot; need to wait for it to cool down -bedside lights are not bedside, they are located directly over your heads on the wall; they cannot be turned out separately (this is a comfort issue if one of you likes to read, etc. while the other gets on with sleeping) -LOTS of stairs to get in and out of this property

Just good

The room was clean and spacious (bed too soft though) and the food was mostly good (poached egg on avocado toast was bland on greasy soggy toast… )
