The Hoban Hotel Killkenny

Service was excellent, each team member we encountered was very kind and attentive. Shout out to Dez for great dinner service.

We went for dinner at the Hoban restaurant, Des looked after us. He was very friendly and welcoming. Great service and delicious food. We already can’t wait to go back

We purchased a self driving tour online throughout Ireland and our travel agent booked us at the Hoban hotel. We were very happy with these accommodations as the rooms were spacious and the breakfast buffet was delicious and reasonably priced. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff too.

Food is great dez is very pleasant and great to make sure u have everything u need rooms is very good warm izzy is always smiling great to see to very hard workers

We recently had a 2 night stay and were very impressed indeed on all counts! We had booked online from Australia a couple of months ago, motivated by the 20% discount, breakfast included and the additional treat of a free drink with lunch or dinner. We received a very warm greeting from the receptionist when we arrived, and were thrilled by both the size and spotless condition of our room, which was well maintained during our stay. Our dining room experiences were also top notch, enjoying both the extensive breakfast buffet and delicious dinners. Special mention needs to be made of dining room staff Dez and Johnny, both of whom rendered friendly and excellent service. We highly recommend this hotel for consistent excellence in all areas.

I stayed at the hotel while in the city on business. The location is fine however, it would not suit guests who want to be within easy reach of Kilkenny city itself. I had dinner in the hotel restaurant. Service was efficient and staff were pleasant, but the food was average and did not represent good value for money, especially when compared to several very good restaurants located very close to the hotel. It is convenient, but I would consider it a last resort rather than a destination in its own right. Breakfast was disappointing. The overall offering was extremely basic. The hot food was acceptable but overly salty. The bread selection was fine, although the brown bread was clearly supermarket sourced. Pastries were average, the cereal selection was very limited, and there were no cold meats or cheeses available, which is unusual for a hotel breakfast. The coffee was particularly poor and well below what would be expected. What really detracted from the breakfast experience was the lack of professionalism during service. Staff repeatedly came in to use the coffee machine while guests were queuing, standing directly behind diners, which was uncomfortable and off putting. It was also clear that some staff members were being accommodated in the hotel and were coming down to breakfast while guests were dining, dressed in an unpresentable manner. This felt inappropriate, especially given the signage throughout the hotel asking guests to adhere to dress standards. Overall, in a very competitive hospitality environment, the experience did not meet expectations. While the hotel offers convenience for certain business stays, the food offering and service standards would need noticeable improvement to justify choosing it over other nearby options.

A super weekend and the staff were amazing thanks thanks to all. Especially johnny and Mag who were very friendly and couldn't be more helpful

From going in for dinner to leaving best service esp by the Waiter Des top class he brilliant at his job.Also the Mangeress Mary friendly out

We came in for dinner, dessert and coffees. Food was spectacular, great portion sizes and great value for money. Dez served our table he told us all the specials of the day with a great smile and happy vibe about him. Great experience 11/10. Will definitely be back

The staff are super friendly, for my breakfast I was very welcomed by, Mary & Elaine. For my lunch & dinner I was looked after greatly by Dez and other staffs. Above all the reception are super friendly ( Marie, Jessica. Also I like to mention when I told reception regarding some problems with soap dispenser & the kettle is not working, they fixed it less than a minute !!! Al and all I absolutely love that. I often stayed there for my business need I highly recommend 👌 Abbas Ghadimi 👌
