Great location across the street from the beach/boardwalk. Breakfast was excellent and service staff very friendly. We were away from the bar, so the noise issue that some reviews reference was not an issue for us. As this area is popular with locals, parking can be an issue.

This hotel is has the feeling of being in a castle, but is located right along a main street in Kilkenny with easy walking to dining, pubs, and shopping, as well as the Kilkenny Castle. We only stayed one night, but it was a great stopover as we traveled from Dublin to Cork.

The location is fantastic. Very close to all the bars and nightlife but not in the noise of it. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was huge, (could have included beans though).. Only downside was the shower curtain. It just stuck to you when using the shower making it uncomfortable.

Great location. Plenty of bars and pubs nearby. Close to all the city's highlights. Free parking. Atmosphere is lively in the hotel bars, with live musicians. However, located on a busy road so it gets quite noisy late at night and early in the morning. No AC so need to keep windows open despite the noise...
