The hotel is in the heart of the city. The staff was kind and suggested many different restaurants and sites to visit. There is no AC in the room. However, it was very comfortable to sleep. The room is spacious and clean. The breakfast was included. However, it was a little underwhelming. The coffee machine was broken. The bar is gorgeous and a great place to have a drink and a bite to wat at the end of the day.

The hotel itself was great and offered an amazing made-to-order breakfast in the morning. The location is great as well, right near the Medieval Mile and close to Kilkenny Castle. My only complaint was the rooms did not have air conditioning, so it was uncomfortable sleeping.

Good location and breakfast, but otherwise avg

Pros- excellent location, great breakfast choices and the cook will make it fresh instead of the buffet Cons- noise: since there’s no AC, we opened the windows. On the first floor it was incredibly noisy from the street- street sweepers, garbage trucks, from sun up. Bed- I can see why others said the beds were uncomfortable. For the first two hours we couldn’t fall asleep ( not just because of the singing and music from the street), but we realized the mattress was only one sided and it was upside down. After flipping and remaking the bed, it was very comfortable. How does housekeeping not know this? General had an older feel- carpet stains and a black stain in the center of the shower curtain.
