We were welcomed by a guy named Paul who was very nice, we showed us the room and gave us some information about the surrounding area. The room is small and cozy, clean and well heated (it was cold outside when we were visiting Kilkenny). The location is very good, there are a lot of pubs and restaurants just down the street and Kilkenny castle is only 10 or less minutes walk. There is a public parking close to the room, is costs 2 euros for 24 hours but if you only stay for the night and leave before 10 a.m. you don't have to pay. The only thing that wasn't perfect is that the walls are pretty thin so you can hear other guests coming and going in the middle of night, and you can even hear them snore :) but I suppose if you are not very sensitive in your sleep it won't bother you.
