its ok, a bit tired, in the area, in general service isn't going to be Japan or USA type, nothing wrong, room is years past remodel but good location, of course no fridge in room, no ac, but it will work, I would say for heavy drinker that wants pub in ground floor and that drinking is priority its ok.

Staff were warm and couldn’t have been more helpful. Put me in a room at far end from night’s entertainment, allowed me to leave my luggage for a couple of hours, printed off my travel documents etc. Despite the unattractive menu design the food was very good. G/F options at breakfast. Will happily use again. Thank you!

Value for money accommodation in good location.

The staff were great. Very friendly and helpful. Easy check-in and check-out. The morning breakfast in the White Oak Room was pretty good with a varied menu. The 2 bars were fine. Average bar food. The location was great. Within walking distance of everywhere including plenty of pubs, restaurants, tourist locations etc. etc. The public areas of the hotel were in pretty good shape and well kept. But the rooms were pretty old and dated. Especially the bathrooms which had one of those old shower curtains that sticks to your body as you shower!! A bit yuk!! But the place was very clean overall. And for the price, you got value for your money.

Great Hotel

Hotel is clean and comfortable, there is parking behind the hotel which is included. Rooms are nice, there are better in Kilkenny but you pay the premium for that. Hotel is right in the centre, so can walk to wherever you want to. Had soup and a sandwich in the attached pub/restaurant which was very nice and the bread was exceptionally fresh. The Irish breakfast in the morning was perfectly cooked and as good as I have every had to be honest, and I have had a few in my time. Overall very happy, fantastic value for money, and I will not hesitate to stay again.

Hotel was a bit odd. Small front doors, lobby has a stuffed tiger in it which is cool. Room was not our favorite. The elevated tub has a shower curtain that won’t stop sticking to you. Toilet would also run for over an hour. Place felt old and outdated but it was ok for the price.

The staff were great, and it was good value. I was woken up by people talking outside my room on both nights. The hotel can't help drunk people being inconsiderate. The bed was comfortable. The telly reception wasn't great, and the water needed to be a little hotter. I would stay again, as it was reasonably priced, a good location, and the staff were friendly and helpful
