This was a great place to stay in Kilkenny; could not ask for a better location if you're planning on taking the train into/out of town, and you can find shops, restaurants, etc. from the moment you step out the door. Less than 10 minute walk to Kilkenny Castle and other popular attractions. There were a few hairs in the shower, and the communal kitchen was a bit dirty, but overall cleanliness was pretty good. Fire alarm went off for some unknown reason at 1 AM and woke everybody up, and continued going off for about 10 minutes, but it seemed like Eamonn headed over ASAP to fix the issue. Only other minor issue is that there was no hand soap in the bathroom, so we had to use shower gel to wash our hands.
