The hotel is beautiful and has an excellent location. The room was just average. It was very warm and had no AC. The bathroom towels are very poor and the outlet situation is not great. No outlets at nightstands to charge phones or plug in a fan. Pillows were nice.

It’s a lovely hotel, very comfortable, it reminded me of one of the old Irish railway hotels. ( My father worked for them so I stayed in a lot) Great breakfast, beautifully presented. The salmon and Scrambled eggs were excellent and the poached eggs too. Our thanks to the chef. Super friendly staff, Arran? was great. We were given a cocktail in the lovely bar, which was a nice treat. There was nice music in the bar, Only teeny wobble was our room looked as if the cleaner hadn’t finished, or had been called away. Hotel very central, super close to Kilkenny Castle, but very quiet.

We stayed for a night, the building is beautiful and well maintained. The bar was friendly with live music which we enjoyed and the breakfast was delicious. The only issue we could raise was that having taken the lift to the second floor there were more steps to reach our room. Fine for us but potentially an issue for some. Also they need bigger towels in the rooms!
Route from the lift to our room.

Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. It was great to have a bar with live music too! The room was a bit dated. It was a little odd that when we walked in we had to go down about 4 steps to get to the bed and seating area. No AC and the window barely opened for air.
