There is free and secure parking for guests. This is great because the general public has to pay for it.

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Silken Thomas Accommodation is often praised for its fantastic location near Kildare Village, making shopping trips easy. Many guests find the rooms spacious and comfortable, some even featuring walk-in wardrobes, while bathrooms are modern and clean, occasionally including mirror with a de-steaming function. Lanigan's restaurant next door serves a lovely meal, and while some guests have noted that not all rooms are easily accessible due to the absence of lifts on upper floors, the hotel provides a great base for exploring the village and surrounding areas.

a bit underwhelming

cramped room small refund

the location was quite central, made getting around easy enough.

the room felt cramped. plus, the promised movie never materialized, and all i got was a measly 20 euro refund. i'm not sure why they acted as if i was somehow inconveniencing them.

Acceptable Stay. Some Issues Noted

bathroom hairs fluctuating pressure

The room's cleanliness was not up to par. I saw some hairs on the bathroom floor upon arrival. I also noticed the shower pressure fluctuated a lot, going from hot to cold unexpectedly. This made showering quite unpleasant.
