Excellent stay with Tony! Allowed us to check in a bit earlier than we expected to arrive, explained everything perfectly. Myself, my sister and our husbands rented the two bedroom place and it was absolutely perfect for what we wanted. The ground floor is a recently vacated office space, the second floor is a rent-by-the hour gaming room (very quiet- everyone has their own headphones and it seemed to be a mostly younger clientele- kids who don't own gaming systems themselves) and then the accommodations are on the third floor. We made it to Kilkenny about from Dublin about halfway through the St Patrick's Day parade and it was great to have a birds eye view of the things that were passing by while we settled in. The locations was *perfect* for us as it was within walking distance (as well as sight for a few!) of most of the local evening and night hotspots. That being said- plan to use white noise if you are a light sleeper. Being St Patrick's day we were out very late but there were still quite a few out celebrating- and being right in the main area of town people were out until much later than we were. But after turning on white noise (I have an app on my phone) I slept great and didn't hear when things died down and people finally found their own beds. ;) I did enjoy late night people watching from the window ledge in the room overlooking the main area- was one of the highlights of my St Patrick's Day in Ireland. :)
I do feel bad because we were late to check out causing a delay in the cleaning for the following people who were checking in but Tony was incredibly gracious with us.
Rooms were clean and windows, water and hot water worked. My brother in law had to do some laundry (the airline he was flying lost his bag so he had one shirt and one pair of pants he needed to reuse) and the washer/dryer worked as well. Spacious bathroom and perfect sized sitting room with two couches.
We were very happy with our stay and would 100% recommend staying here while in Kilkenny.
