Read the reviews all the stairs to climb but it wasn’t bad at all. It’s a very old hotel and had a great amount of character.

great property in central Kilkenny
This very historic property is a treat. The location is perfect, steps from the main intersection of Kilkenny centre but removed enough to be quiet and feel private. So convenient to every attraction and dining/pub venue, so no car needed. Staff were amazing - every person we met was graciously friendly and helpful. Our room was everything we needed and nicely appointed modern bath.

Lovely place to stay. Modern rooms, comfortable lighting and decor. Located in town and literally right next to a supermarket. There was also a mini fridge in the room which was incredibly useful. Parking in the town is street-side and free unless otherwise stated. A little busy on weekends but we never had trouble finding a spot nearby. Overall a great experience!

Had to walk thru restaurant to check in which was upstairs and no elevator. Dark walls, filthy carpet in halls. Maze to get to room. Faucets at sink didnt work, shower door wouldnt close, hairdryer didnt work. Room was clean and bed comfortable though. Terrible directions to back of hotel parking. Would not recommend.
