“I found the location remarkable, right in the heart of the town with views of the river and castle that are indeed spectacular; rooms are clean and well-maintained, even if some might find the building's facade a touch worn. With free beverages and helpful staff, it's a solid base for exploring Kilkenny, marrying convenience and local charm. A refresh could elevate this property to its full potential.”
