This was a really cool place to stay. Everyone was so friendly & helpful. We learned that the suggested parking lot clears up after 4 or 5pm; if you get there earlier, you might have trouble finding parking (it's a popular lot). Being above a pub, I did expect some noise of course. The pub itself wasn't too loud, but there was one night there were some very, very drunk people outside our window (which faced the street) at 2:30 in the morning. They woke us up and sleep wasn't great that night. But again, I sort of knew to expect that with its location. Other than that, awesome place. Nice area in Kilkenny--easy walk to tons of places. Very clean. Fun people. I'd recommend it if you plan to stay up late/don't mind the noise....if you want a quiet place, you might want to look elsewhere.
