The pub is easy to find and just around the corner from the car park. With in a few meters are groceries and home goods. A short walk and you’re in the heart of Kilkenny. Host was super friendly
Downside the room we had was immediately above the front door so the lighted sign was right outside the window and people were talking under the window. Also the cross walk beeps constantly. There was a dark shade but it was a warmish summer night and we needed the window open for air.
All in all for a quick overnight it was fine. Maybe ask for a room to the back.
