This is a great place to stay to experience the lovely city of Kilkenny. There are so many shops, pubs and restaurants within walking distance, and the Kilkenny castle is well worth checking out too. Although there was live music downstairs in the pub, it was not loud enough to keep us awake. We did hear the kegs being rolled out for pick up very early in the morning (we had the windows open due to warm weather), but that was just part of the experience! We would stay here again.
