Liked: Staff & service
Staff were amazingly warm and friendly. But although the room seems recently updated with nice furniture the room was dusty-thick dust. Coffee machine was dirty and the room had a lingering stale odor. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable so I did not make a complaint about the items listed. I just think it’s worth mentioning for future guests to consider.
This level of dust was in several locations around the room including on the kettle.

We were provided an early check-in and that’s 5 stars rate for me. The room is big enough and the bathroom is clean, though extra coffee pods would be perfect. Hotel staff are great and courteous.

The Hoban is a favourite stay when in Kilkenny. Rooms are clean and beds are so comfortable. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and the food is great. The Hoban, is fairly central to everywhere. Less than 5 minutes to the city centre and its historic castle and medieval churches, never mind the shopping and dining experiences to be had. Just off the main road for Clonmel and also the M9 motorway. Perfect place to stay while not breaking the bank. Comfort, food and welcoming atmosphere. What more could you ask for 👌
