My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The housekeeping staff was very efficient at keeping the rooms clean, though the bathrooms were a bit small. I appreciated the coasters provided for hot cups to avoid marking the furniture. The service, especially from Caroline, the manager, exceeded my expectations with great hospitality during my 3-night stay. However, some staff seemed overwhelmed and couldn't provide the service one would expect. The location, although in a business park on the outskirts of the center, offered a pleasant stay close to large stores for shopping. The dining experience with high-quality produce was not included in the rate but featured home-grown products. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives, but a good value for money.

The hotel is conveniently located close to the city center but also on the outskirts of the busy part of Kilkenny. The rooms are small but cleaned efficiently by the housekeeping staff, and the breakfast was a nice addition. The service, despite being understaffed, was highlighted by a manager going above and beyond. However, there were some limitations in service quality. The dining options were satisfactory, offering toasted sandwiches. The hotel is situated in a retail shopping area outside the city, which could be seen as both a pro and a con.

I had a wonderful 3-night stay at this hotel. The rooms were immaculate and cozy, and I particularly appreciated the efficient housekeeping staff. Caroline, the manager, truly went above and beyond to provide great hospitality during my stay. However, the limited service due to only one staff member was noticeable at times. The hotel's location on the outskirts of Kilkenny was convenient, though not close to the city center. The dining experience with quality produce was top-notch, but I wish more options were included in the rate. Overall, a great value for money given the comfortable accommodations and pleasant atmosphere.

Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy with a small but totally acceptable bathroom and a large comfortable bed, but having an extra bed made it a bit crowded at times. The service, especially from Caroline the manager, was exceptional with above-and-beyond hospitality during my 3-night stay. However, at times, the limited staff meant they couldn't provide the level of service one would expect. The hotel is located in a newly developed area outside the main city center, which may not be ideal for those wanting to be close to the city buzz. The dining options were decent, with Asian dishes available, but not all meals included in the rate. The facilities provided were well-maintained, offering dry cleaning, laundry services, welcome drinks, and assistance with tours and tickets, enhancing the stay.
