The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Location is on one of the main streets of Kilkenny, in a nice historic area and an easy five-minute stroll from the castle. Breakfast was available in local restaurants and stores. There was a small kitchen area, but we didn't use it. The evening pub "regulars" were very welcoming and we enjoyed meeting them. They'll also give you good advice about places to go. Parking was a block away, 2 Euro a day, no problem as we walked everywhere while in town.
