The location in Kilkenny was very good. Also, the beds were nice and comfortable. But there were some issues, mainly with the tiny bathroom. There was no hot water the last night of our stay or the next morning. So we had to endure very cold showers. Plus the sink was super small, which meant that the splash zone pretty much went all over. Another problem was a lack of space to put a razor, toothbrush, or anything else you typically need in a bathroom. And the only place to hang towels was over the shower. Finally, there was no hand soap at the sink. We had to reach inside the shower and pump some hand gel out of the dispenser inside, which was pretty inconvenient at times. On the other hand, the staff was friendly and the regulars in the pub downstairs were a hoot. So overall… just ok.
