If you have the chance to stay here while Kilkenny is playing in, and winning the all Ireland hurling match, do it. My wife and I had that rare pleasure recently, and the result was the best night we spent in Ireland. The rooms are simple, as advertised, and very clean. Eamonn is a very fun and gracious host. He took great care of us and ensured we enjoyed the time in the bar as well. Keep in mind that you are staying above a pub, so you will hear pub noises while it is open; our advice is to join in the fun! If we are in Killenny again, you will find us in Eamonn's pub!
