Great Breakfast. Great walk to Kilkenny Castle & St. Canise, Medieval Mile, Langston Garden Hotel and Roth House and so many others.
The toilet in our room didn’t flush properly. Everything and everyone else was very good and very nice

The Hoban is a favourite stay when in Kilkenny. Rooms are clean and beds are so comfortable. Staff are always friendly and welcoming and the food is great. The Hoban, is fairly central to everywhere. Less than 5 minutes to the city centre and its historic castle and medieval churches, never mind the shopping and dining experiences to be had. Just off the main road for Clonmel and also the M9 motorway. Perfect place to stay while not breaking the bank. Comfort, food and welcoming atmosphere. What more could you ask for 👌

We were provided an early check-in and that’s 5 stars rate for me. The room is big enough and the bathroom is clean, though extra coffee pods would be perfect. Hotel staff are great and courteous.
Great hotel and very spacious. My sister and I had a great time here. The walk into town was pretty easy and stores were pretty close. The front desk folks were helpful
