Definitely as advertised - a small room with a very clean shared bathroom. The pub noise wasn't too noticeable and didn't last too late, but that's to be expected when choosing to stay above a pub. Great location for exploring the town of Kilkenny, especially without a car. Pub staff was friendly when checking in and going downstairs for a pint. Probably wouldn't be a great choice for light sleepers just because it's impossible not to make some noise coming and going and the walls are quite thin so it's hard not to notice when folks are coming back late from the pubs. Enjoyed my stay as a single person but can see how it might not be for everyone and could be hard as a couple with the tight space for more than just a night or two. Good value for the money and great access to all the pubs and sights in the center of town.
