Eamonn's place is exactly as described. We loved it because we could walk to everything and everyone in the pub was friendly and helpful. It was also convenient having the use of a small kitchen. We stayed on a Monday and Tuesday night, Monday was loud in the pub (as expected) as they had live music, but quieted right down around 1130. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. We loved Kilkenny and would recommend this place to travelers.
