Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. While the rooms were spacious, they tended to get very warm as they were south-facing with no air conditioning. This was a bit of a challenge since we couldn't leave the window open due to wasps constantly trying to get in. However, the staff was quick to address this issue and moved us to a deluxe room, which was great. I was under the impression that there would be a shelter in the 'heated smoking area,' but that was not the case.
The hotel rooms were very spacious but uncomfortably warm, and we couldn't leave the window open due to wasps. Despite the need for modernization for a 4-star hotel, the overall experience was nice. The service was courteous and friendly, and the food was lovely in the restaurant. The location was convenient with easy access to main roads, but the back part lacked ambiance. The dining experience was enjoyable, and the leisure facilities added a nice touch to the weekend.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room was spacious and conveniently located near the wedding venue, but the lack of air conditioning made it uncomfortably warm at times. The service was exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff, although at times it seemed a bit chaotic. The location was good, with a separate kids section at the pool, and the dining experience was adequate but could have been improved. Overall, a decent stay with some room for enhancement.
The hotel had a great location near the center with free onsite parking, but the rooms were quite bare and lacked a view. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially to families. The dining options were just okay, and the price for certain items was considered too steep. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
My stay was overall quite pleasant. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and even provided a suitable work space. The staff were quick to accommodate our needs, including providing an extra camp bed for my child, which was perfect. However, the smoking area could use some improvement. The service was excellent, especially the lovely and helpful staff. The location was very convenient, just a 10-minute walk from town, but there was some issue with traffic noise. Dining was a bit of a mixed experience with good service but room for improvement.
The hotel was like a sauna with no air conditioning, and despite efforts to adjust the temperature, it kept getting too warm overnight. The room upgrade didn't include sleepers as advertised, and the soundproofing could have been better. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, making our stay enjoyable and convenient. The location was just right, close to Kilkenny city and castle, though a bit noisy on Friday nights due to live music. The dining experience was mediocre, but the dishes were still tasty and served quickly. Overall, a mixed experience with room issues but excellent service and location.
My stay at the hotel was wonderful. The rooms were spacious, modern, and very quiet, but a bit too warm at night. The service was exceptional - the staff was polite, helpful, and attentive. The location was convenient and easy to find, with good parking. However, the dining experience was fair, and the facilities could use some improvement.
The hotel was a great stay overall. The rooms were perfect for our impromptu get-together, though they looked a bit plastic and didn't quite match the 4-star rating for product versus price. We are already planning to come back for a longer stay with our daughter. The service was top-notch, and the location, despite a minor musty smell, was a good balance of being close to the city center yet away from the noise. The dining experience was exceptional, especially the in-room service. Although we found some worn and tired aspects, the facilities were satisfactory.
