You'll never sleep at this hotel.

One thing ruined this stay. Just one, and it's a Massive issue. The hotel is simply too noisy at night. Not from any bar or outside, but from ancient plumbing and vents, elevator shaft noises etc. I can sleep through a hurricane, but my room on the first floor overlooking the rear of the premise was like being trapped in a tumble dryer all night , as every 30 seconds what sounded like a generator (I later found out was a ventilation system) went off, creating an incesent humming noise making it impossible to sleep. I eventually spoke to reception who in fairness switched our room at 2am, only for the noise to still be there, but this time with an added elevator pulley system making a noise like a jackhammer every few mins. Simply put, the rooms are not soundproofed, and for a supposed 4 star hotel it is simply not good enough. I would have gotten more sleep lying in the doorway outside frankly, and since we were only there for 1 night away, it kinda ruined a nice trip as we were but exhausted next day.

If you are going to Kilkenny, a stay at the Kilkenny Hibernian is a great place to choose. It is an old hotel but has plenty of charm, classical comfort. The restaurant is lovely especially the included breakfast. Staff are fabulous

Lovely

Amazing view. Everyone in the Hotel and the town are so welcoming. Only thing I have to say, not important, the room had too many furniture. Table and a wardrobe is more than ok. Most of us live off of our luggage.
