“This city-center location is undoubtedly a draw, placing you steps from Kilkenny's Medieval Mile and key attractions; while the promise of clean, spacious rooms with modern amenities could appeal, early impressions seem to miss the mark. While a quality stay could be possible, there seem to be some consistency issues to consider.”
