The hotel is in the heart of the city. The staff was kind and suggested many different restaurants and sites to visit. There is no AC in the room. However, it was very comfortable to sleep. The room is spacious and clean. The breakfast was included. However, it was a little underwhelming. The coffee machine was broken. The bar is gorgeous and a great place to have a drink and a bite to wat at the end of the day.

The hotel was great in all respects only drawback no car park as it was expensive to park nearby. Check in rather late at 4pm but can be worked around as so much to do in the city

The hotel itself was great and offered an amazing made-to-order breakfast in the morning. The location is great as well, right near the Medieval Mile and close to Kilkenny Castle. My only complaint was the rooms did not have air conditioning, so it was uncomfortable sleeping.
