The room is small, but cozy, and the ensuite is convenient. Everything was adequately clean. The shared kitchen has most necessary amenities, so you can have some basic meals there. The location is close to everything you may want to see in Kilkenny so that is a pro. When I stayed, the pub downstairs was closed, so I don't know how much noise it would normally have. The only downside is that the walls are very thin and you may be unlucky in that someone in the other rooms snores, which happened to me, but I didn't mind so much. All in all, I enjoyed my stay here and I would recommend it for someone who doesn't want to spend their whole budget on a place to stay.
