No, it isn't a five star hotel, but for a unique travel experience, you can't go wrong here. The wonderful crowd in the pub was so welcoming to us, and the room provided a place to stay and a wonderful warm shower im the morning. Kilkenny was our favorite stop so far, and we loved it so much we chose to explore the town rather than race through other areas on our way to Dublin. Definitely recommend if you're looking for lively locals and a great story to tell. 5* from us.
