Perfect hotel with children when in Kilkenny. Lovely pool. Great free parking. Staff are friendly. Only issues are room 306, loud bang from somewhere and so warm as no electric-fan available and my children sweating all night. Food is great. Room is clean,
Gian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The hotel is on the ring road for Kilkenny and is a good 25 minutes walk from the city centre. The only place to eat was the Bar area as the restaurant is reserved for coach parties. We found good restaurants in Kilkenny and free evening parking a few minutes walk away.

Weekend break

My say was really good. Walking distance from the town. Very clean, lots of parking. We did not spend much time in the hotel but our rooms was very clean, comfortable, spacious, bed comfortable and very fresh.
Stafford, 1-night trip

Insgesamt ein super Hotel. Leider durfte unsere 8 jährige Tochter nicht den Whirlpool benutzen, sodass wir aus dem Swimmingpool Bereich verscheucht wurden. Frühstück sehr toll und die Zimmer super modern.

Great place to stay
JUDITH, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Disappointed

The hotel itself looks good from the outside and the lobby, however the rooms are very dated and old. The faucets and shower head are old and dirty and the room could really use a good cleaning and some updating. The breakfast was not good and the hot part of the breakfast was just re-reheated food. It did not feel freshly made. I had better breakfast at all other hotels we stayed on our Ireland trip.

Would come back again

Lovely hotel and staff especially in the bar restaurant
