“Staying here feels like stepping back in time, history is palpable in the old bar and dining room, both ideal spots for relaxation. The location is superb, placing guests within easy reach of every attraction, and the staff are remarkably helpful, especially Brendan at reception. While the building's age shows, particularly in labyrinthine corridors, it adds to the unique character that modern hotels simply can't replicate.”

The staff held my luggage before check-in and carried it to my room later. parking was included and located conveniently behind the hotel! the location was fantastic. Kilkenny castle and the main streets were a very short walk away. i felt very at home, and i'd definitely stay again.

I noticed a small amount of dust under the bed. It was easily overlooked, though.
