“Top Marks”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

Spent a weekend in this Hotel - staff all lovely and very very helpful - as we were early checking in and room not ready gave us another room which was lovely - very large and good sized bathroom with especially nice toiletries. Tea and coffee making facilities which are always appreciated. We ate in the hotel on the first evening - although you will not be stuck in Kilkenny City for somewhere to eat as loads of bars and restaurants. The food was excellent as was the breakfast - well cooked and served to your table. This hotel is about a 10 minute walk into the city centre but is an ideal place to stay after travelling from Belfast - easy to find and easy access to the motorways. Would highly recommend although take up the offer for softer pillows!!!!

“Good.....but nothing special!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Hotel a little dated in some areas and barely walkable to town centre. Staff were nice and checkin was quick and smooth. Alot of drilling and maintanance noise everywhere. Beds very hard! Good value for money but would rather pay a little extra next time to stay elsewhere!

Room Tip: Stay away from ground floor!

“Fine for family weekend break”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013

Stayed here during November, with family. The hotel is what you'd expect for what you pay. Nice staff and good child-minding option if you need an hour or two to yourselves. Best thing about it was the pool area - kids loved it. Breakfast was nice also. All in, would recommend it.

“Best hotel in Kilkenny!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 9, 2013 via mobile

I have visited Kilkenny nearly every fortnight recently and this hotel is my favourite!
I booked a triple room for New Years Eve. The hotel was full but the staff could not be more helpful.
The rooms are large, modern and you will sleep well.
The main strip is a ten minute walk so I'd get a taxi if you are in heels.
The swimming pool is perfect for the morning hangover.
I.d recommend eating in Pure bar, great value, great food!
I will stay here again!

“Very Exepensive for food and drinks”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

Very nice hotel rooms not as nice as in the pictures but that is to be expected.Breakfast was very packed food was ok. However we did not eat in the restaurant as we found the food prices to be way to expensive went into town and got food for half the price. Went to the bar that night and the bar staff were very friendly got cocktails and were lovely.We did not get much sleep as the room next door had teenagers in it and they were playing music and shouting for most of the night.I would not stay here again though.
