Reviews for Kilkenny Inn
Review 1：The pool had swimming lessons in progress for children the whole time we chose to swim so very tight for space
Review 2：The entertainment and the bar were great the bar food could be better but overall very enjoyable
Review 3：Carpet on stairs worn down looks grubby pitty otherwise excellent all round
Review 4：Spacious rooms excellent parking space lovely breakfast super staff very good all round
Review 5：Construction work going on near the hotel, but not at it. Guy with a jackhammer interrupted my afternoon nap! Not the Hotels fault though, but it would have been nice to know.
Review 6：2 Streets & 3 minutes walk from centre/nightlife. Taxi not necessary. Safe parking. Comfy bed.
Review 7：Was a bit surprised to be asked to pay in advance, but I realised why when the noisy stag party started shouting at 4am and nobody answered the phone in reception. Also nobody at reception the following morning when I left. A shame because the hotel was otherwise quite nice, clean and comfortable. I won't be going back though.
Review 8：The only downside was that there was no food available that night but we were warned in advance so no problem.
Review 9：Excellent location with good car park. Friendly helpful staff. Short walk to everything.

Review 13：The pillows were a little hard and there was some defects into the room (broken tiles and flush press) but in general it was a great hotel, I reccomend to everyone.
Review 14：The hotel was really clean and warm. The staff were lovely. The bed was really good and It was a very comfortable room. Only 5 minutes walk from the main street.
Review 15：Didn't like the foreign doorman as we were told by the owner that if we came in late he would serve us drink but we came in at half two one night and he took ages to open the front door and wen he did he refused to serve us drink untill we said the owner said we could get drink so he gave it to take back to the room. But we had to beg
Review 16：Loved how close it is to everything and how clean it is

Review 18：Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.
Review 19：there is nothing bad here
Review 20：we arrived very early as we had to attend a funeral in Tipperary an hour and a half away.We were exhausted as we had travelled from Liverpool on the overnight ferry and as soon as we got on motorway we had a tyre blow at 5.30 am. We had to wait 3 hours fo ra garage to open,The hotel were extremely accomodating to our circumstances and gave us an early room to get changed and we cant thank them enough.We will use this hotel again.
Review 21：The location was ideal as my partner wanted to sightsee and shop.I appreciated the lift as I struggle with stairs. It was also super value for money and the parking was greatly appreciated also

Review 28：A really nice place to stay. A very friendly girl at reception who was helpful. A nice short walk from town centre. Good breakfast and service.
Review 29：We really liked it there except for walking through one area at night. Not scary, but could have been uncomfortable at night for a person alone. Otherwise, it was superb!
Review 30：Location was within a short walk of downtown. Our room was very nice & above all clean. It felt relatively safe although I may not have gone out at night if I had been alone. We loved the hotel & the lady who checked us in was great. She answered all our questions & gave us directions & suggestions.

Review 55：Took the stairway as room was on the first floor carpet was a bit dirty other than that could not fault this hotel
Review 56：The hotel was a few minutes walk to the main attractions, in a quiet area. Parking at rear of hotel meant you could park the car up and leave it till you were ready to leave again. The staff were very friendly and helpful, rooms were clean and ample size. plenty of restaurants and bars in walking distance will use this hotel again.

Review 69：Room was relatively clean
Review 70：No meals available, apart from breakfast, although there are plenty of cafés/restaurants nearby. The bar could have been livelier!
Review 71：Within walking distance of the main attractions but in a quiet location. Bright, clean room. 82 euro per night in high season is good value for money.
Review 72：Bar only opened in evenings, no atmosphere in hotel. Only 2 plug sockets in bedroom and that included tv.! Other sockets were round! Our room was in the front of the hotel on a busy street with heavy traffic.
Review 73：Beds very comfortable, staff friendly and efficient. Free parking. 5 mins walk from town.
Review 74：Walls between the bedrooms could be sound proofed better - the couple next door seemed to be having a lot of "fun". No food available in the evening but not a big issue for us as there was no shortage of places within walking distance.
Review 75：We liked this hotel a lot, on site parking, very good facilities (in line with our expectations), very friendly Staff, excellent breakfast service and comfortable surroundings.
Review 76：Not a lot of unliked here. In room 113 there was no hand rail over bath to assist entry and exit. More secure to have one there. Having to leave and weekend went by too quickly was a big dislike.
Review 77：Friendly welcome on arrival. Receptionist recommended restaurants and we were very pleased with them. Location ideal to the city, park the car and leave it in car park and stroll at your leisure. Breakfast room bright and airy. Cereal and fresh fruit Table had an ample supply. Cooked breakfast brought to our table of our desired choice. Tasty and an ample supply of toast. A very relaxing atmosphere and comfortable surroundings makes this the ideal place to stay.
Review 78：No wifi connection on 2nd floor & very poor connection on ground floor. Breakfast not cooked fresh, in my opinion food just left there for hours.
Review 79：Close to all pubs & shops. Very friendly & helpful reception staff. Nice quiet hotel, no late night noise! Slept very comfortably! Great location.
Review 80：hotel is a short walk to city centre the car park is at the back which is secure and free hotel room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable and it was great value for money

Review 82：Nice bed
Review 83：We had connecting rooms with a very flimsy door between us and a family .noise from the road and they decided that 9 o'clock was a great time to start drilling walls
Review 84：Apart from the noise it was fine
Review 85：There was a stag party staying at the hotel. They returned at 3 in the morning and remained very noisy until 5.20am. No reduction in the bill was made, because we had not complained during the night!!!
Review 86：Easy walking distance to the town.
Review 87：Beds were a little soft. There was room for a further single bed in our room which would have provided us with a family room rather than booking two twins. Wifi only available at reception.
Review 88：Comfortable, clean and quiet
Review 89：A little slow to fill up buffet in morning,had to ask for bowls and glasses as they had run out.
Review 90：5 minute walk to centre, staff helpful,extremely clean, would definitely stay here again.
Review 91：Even though this is a non smoking hotel, someone (next door to our room) was smoking in their room. You could smell it in our room and along the hall way.
Review 92：good value for money. Short walk (10 mins) to town centre.
Review 93：The waiter in the breakfast area on Sunday, the 26th of June was very difficult to deal with. He instantly asked my room number when I walked in, then did not serve me for about 20 minutes. Any effort to get his attention, quite loudly by the end, was ignored. I eventually had to ask the girl who was servicing the other side of the room for help. She was great.
Review 94：Location was good.
Review 95：The hotel was very over priced fro it's location and the quality of the hotel. It cost €90 for one night with no breakfast and an additional €10 each for breakfast which was average at best. Our daughter had previously paid for the hotel and we were nearly double charged due to staff incompetency All in all it was an overpriced hotel with a below average service..
Review 96：Would be good to have wifi in the rooms. And the hair dryers could be a bit more powerful, but that being picky .

Review 112：The location was pretty good.
Review 113：The wifi seemed to only work downstairs, the sheets were so crispy they could have done with being softer. Our room was at the front of the hotel on the road so not ideal if your not an early riser as was quite loud.
