This is the perfect place to stay if you are travelling on a budget or want to favor a more authentic experience over a hotel. A warm greeting and tons of information are a big plus for this stay. The room is just the right size to move around comfortably and the private bathroom is spick and span. There is a shared kitchen with tea, coffee and an ironing board at your disposal.
At night, you will obviously hear the music coming from downstairs (perfectly clear but not too loud actually, for those who would like to enjoy it from their beds), and I found that a pair of earplugs cancelled it entirely (no bass, no vibrations). You will have your own key, giving you all the autonomy you need to enjoy Kilkenny's night life or sunrise without any time restriction.
Finally, you are at the tip of John's Street, and if you take only a few steps down the street you will be surrounded by lovely facades. The Medieval Mile is barely five minutes away by feet, and you are right in front of the Kilkenny MacDonagh train station.
Thanks a lot to Eamonn and the O'Gorman's staff! I really enjoyed my stay :)
