I was thrilled with my stay at this hotel! The location is amazing, just a stone's throw from the city center and with a wonderful view of Kilkenny Castle. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making my stay even more delightful. However, the only drawback was the extra cost for breakfast, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
