The room was exactly as advertised. Very clean & cozy. I didn't experience any issues with noise from the pub or the street, and as other reviewers have mentioned, the shower water pressure was phenomenal!! I went to the pub for a beverage that night, and Eamonn was very helpful in suggesting late night food options. The place is perfectly located, with lots of food options nearby, and a quick 5ish minute walk to Kilkenny Castle. This was a perfect 1st night in Ireland for me, and a great value for the location and experience.
