I loved my stay in this historic bank-turned hotel. It's perfectly located to enjoy Kilkenny entirely on foot, and the rooms are well maintained. The breakfast selection was good, and we enjoyed having a pub and restaurant on-site. I would absolutely stay again

Hotel was beautiful and comfortable. Staff were knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. Was very convenient for walking around town. The castle was right up the street and most attractions in town within a 5-15 minute walk. Parking very close and the cost was 12 euro for every 24 hours. The classic Irish bar was awesome with great live music. The welcome drinks were a nice touch. We checked out of the hotel and they were very nice about holding our bags until we were ready to leave town. Loved our stay here.
