We stayed at this property for our last night in Ireland and were quite pleased with the property and service. The hotel is well located as you enter town with easy parking and walkability to the castle/city center. The room was spacious, well appointed with a large bathroom. My son especially enjoyed the indoor swimming pool and the gym seemed really nice. We didn't make use of the on site dining or spa amenities but it's nice that it's all there. Overall a good value and very pleasant/friendly customer service. Previous reviewers note the rooms can be stuffy- we did not feel that as we opened the windows for some fresh air (most of the buildings we were in in Ireland did not have or need central AC).

We had a great stay in Kilkenny. Celebrating our honeymoon and surprised us with a nice sweet treat when we arrived. Hotel is a 10-15 min walk outside the castle / city centre which is perfect location. Huge parking lot on site which is free to use for guests. Staff were friendly and room was perfect for what we needed. Would highly recommend.

It’s a very nice, modern facility, in a good part of town. If you don’t mind a 15-20 minute walk or 5-minute Uber to the main pedestrian area, you can’t beat the amenities. We’d stay again.
