“The location, a short walk from Kilkenny's center and across from the train station, strikes a practical note. Rooms appear well-maintained, with comfortable beds and good bathrooms as highlights. While on-site breakfast is missed, the authentic pub downstairs and the friendly staff certainly enhance its appeal.”
