Staff very friendly, helpful and efficient in all areas. Parts of the hotel a bit tired re decor (needs a bit of a refresh). The bedroom, bar areas and reception were all very clean. Location is fantastic with Kilkenny city centre and attractions well within walking distance. Parking at the Kilford Arms hotel was very safe and secure.
