Guest Reviews

- Jari (8/5): -
- Mark (8/5): - Everything to my satistaction No complaints
- Jenny (6/5): Shame as the staff were lovely. - Position of hotel for town Terrible drain smell from bathroom. Mould around shower tray. No lift. Drove past twice & then had to phone to find out where the carpark was.
- Timothy (10/5): - Staff was awesome! N/A
- ANNIE (9/5): -
- Kahina (7/5): - L'emplacement, proche du centre. L'ambiance cosy de la chambre. La literie, très confortable. La réceptionniste très agréable et aidante. Elle nous a prêté un adaptateur électrique, le notre étant défaillant. Nous avons passé 2 nuits et avons constaté que la chambre n'était pas faite en revenant le soir. Il faut demander spécifiquement qu'on souhaite que la chambre soit faite. Nous ne l'avions pas compris...
- Murphy (10/5): - The staff were very pleasant and helpful The bed was a little bit uncomfortable
- Georg (8/5): -
- Karen (7/5): Well renovated rooms. Just noises within the walls - The authentic Irish pub experience We found the rooms to be really noisy within the walls. The curtains needed to be able to close properly
- David (8/5): - Ok
- Kacper (10/5): Great stay - We had a great stay! Room was just perfect and owners were friendly.
- Denise (8/5): - Friendly welcome, location was great. No hot water available
- FRANCIS (4/5): -
- Clw436 (7/5): - Bed. Parking.
- Lana (9/5): -
- clarke (10/5): We loved the troysgate house so much we will book it again when we go back down there - The staff where brilliant and done everything that we asked from them are where so nice and I would stay there again when we go back We liked all of it and nothing bad to say about it
- caelan (1/5): Never again - I stayed at your hotel last Sunday (03/05/2026) and I was extremely disappointed considering how much you charged me (€175/night). The place was shabby with stains & paint peeling, the halls smelled of stale cigarettes, the room stank of sewage and every time someone used the hall door, the wall shook. The worst was that water was pouring down the wall from the room above, presumably a bathroom leak. I’m very upset that you charged an extortionate price for one of the poorest quality hotels I’ve ever stayed in.
- Patrick (10/5): Would stay again! - Just renovated, beautiful decor, staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing, it was a lovely stay
- Kirsten (8/5): - Good location. Free nearby parking. We couldn’t figure out how to adjust the room temperature to turn off the heat, but it could have been an us problem….
- Gwenola (9/5): - Proche du centre ville, chambre spacieuse et confortable. Ambiance un peu vieillote mais rénovée et très propre. Le personnel était très accueillant. Le bruit des clients qui rentrent à la fermeture des pubs.
- John (7/5): -
- tom (1/5): - Nothing
We Dud not stay but paid €165 No parking near
2 flights of steep stairs
Thought we were getting a continental breakfast
No bar
Being renovated
Very quiet lonely and neglected place
- Ronald (9/5): - The staff was incredible Renovations, but that is temporary and understandable.
- Rebecca (9/5): We’d stay again. - Good location. Free parking across the street.
- joy (8/5): - The location was great The car park was difficult to locate, without phoning the reception
- John (10/5): -
- Shane (8/5): -
- John (3/5): Very disappointing 😕 - Nothing to be honest it reeked of toxic fumes! Didn't really enjoy anything, bed was uncomfortable the smell was musty, the toxic fumes were sicking!
- Vicky (7/5): The room was very comfortable and very clean - Location Musty smell in parts but it is in the process of getting refurbished
- Jonn (10/5): If I’m staying in Kilkenny again it’s defo here and I’ll rate it to a friend - The bartender and owners Nothing
- Ray Simpson (10/5): - Lovely Small hotel comfy beds pillows and spotless with a lovely bar Only Small issue was the heating was on far to long room was roasting.
- Pascal (7/5): Chambre très spacieuse à deux pas du centre ville dans un quartier très calme à un prix raisonnable - Petit hôtel en cours de rénovation à deux pas du centre ville dans un quartier très calme. Chambre très spacieuse et confortable avec salle de bain bien équipée. Personnel accueillant et serviable Il est dommage qu'à certains moments du jour le parking soit sur occupé et que l'hôtel ne serve pas encore de petit-déjeuner. Les chambres offrent cependant la possibilité de préparer des boissons chaudes.
- Lynda (2/5): It was not a place we would ever stay again. - The area was close to downtown. The bed was very uncomfortable. Did not feel safe enough to leave windows open so it was hot. Very old and rundown.
- jeanh (4/5): Not good won’t be back - Location not too far out Car park full when we arrived at property, had to park on a residential street nearby . Probably less than ten places for cars in car park . Found someone’s knickers / shorts on the floor in bedroom following morning and bin not emptied. Apart from that wallpaper in hall peeling off . Stair carpet thin and loose and door at the end of bedroom corridor open all the time we were there . 200euro for one night for two single beds bad value
- Conor (10/5): -
- Alannah Finnegan (8/5): - Comfortable bed and great shower.

- Trung Van (9/5): -
- colette (10/5): -
- Paola (3/5): - Posizione comoda al centro e parcheggio privato. Letto comodo Le camere non erano riscaldate e l’acqua in bagno era fredda quindi impossibile fare la doccia e nessuno a cui rivolgersi fino al mattino dopo le 9.
Non c’è possibilità di far colazione
- Holly (8/5): -
- Anastasiia (7/5): -

location was great.
Great value for money
- Domenec (10/5): - Personal muy atento, buena gente, cómodo como en casa.
- Manfred (8/5): Perfekte Lage um die Stad zu besichtigen. - Gratis Parkplatz Keine Dichtung bei der Bad/WC-Türe, keine Heizung im Bad
- Sophie (4/5): - The room was nice and spacious and the staff are nice and friendly. The fire alarm went off at 20 to 5 in the morning and woke everyone up they should be stricter with their policies about not smoking in rooms to prevent the faulty alarms that they have going off.
- Anjelika (1/5): - Как только мы приехали нас поселили в номер без воды горячей и отопления ,пытались все исправить ,мы ждали час ,в итоге так ничего и не исправили ,переселили в другой номер нас после того как мы попросили возврат средств . Около 10 вечера к нам в номер ломились 2 Пьяных мужчины . Когда мы вернулись домой в 5 утра сработала сигназизация ,после чего мужчина открыл нашу дверь и зашел в комнату сказав что у нас что-то горит ,мы уже спали ,и ничего не горело,утром нас обвинили в том что из-за нас сработала сигнализация . Парковка ужасная . Ремонт ужас,кровати скрипели,все старое .

- Christiane (10/5): Super Lage - Die Lage ist super. Man ist schnell in der Innenstadt. Trotz der direkten Lage an einer Hauptstraße hört man in den Zimmern nichts davon.. Die Zimmer sind sauber. Wir hatten im Bad nur einen kaputten Seifenspender, wodurch immer Seife auf den Boden getropft ist, also nichts dramatisches.
- Brian (10/5): -
- Pamela (7/5): Honest reviews - Staff were extremely friendly
Nice location walking distance to the town Room is a little outdated but it was fine as we stayed one night
I didn't like the paper cups provided as there was a black scum stain on both cups, they should be replaced everyday
- Laia (10/5): Happy! - We loved the staff that were on the reception, they are so kind and lovely.

- Anna (3/5): Rough, glad it was only the one night. - The room was furnished nicely and there was no outside noise. There was no cold water in the room, the water was piping hot. Since there was no cold water the toilet didn’t refill with water. There were no bin bags in any of the bins. The hairdryer was mounted to the wall and was terrible barely dried my hair before it shut off.

- Niamh (4/5): Very expensive for what it was - It was clean The rooms were roasting I couldn’t sleep
- Eoin (10/5): Lovly - Very modern good location nice stay would recommend
- Brendan (10/5): Phenomenal - Cozy rooms. Quick walk to city centre. Amazing and friendly staff.
- Jean (10/5): Lovely comfortably property, lovely staff in the bar, friendly atmosphere. Will deffo be back. - No breakfast available To many steps in the property
- Brian (7/5): -
- Brenda (9/5): Great location, lovely staff. - Lovely staff, beautiful breakfast No direct parking, room a bit small for 2 people
- Louise (7/5): -
- Paul (7/5): - Host called and upgraded to larger room. Also got to check in earlier which is always a bonus
- Kelley (1/5): If at all possible, stay somewhere else. Not worth saving $100 - The property was close to town. That was the only good thing. The smoke alarm went off in the middle of the night and there was no staff there to respond or direct guests. We stood outside in the cold with our two small kids for about an hour not knowing what was going on. This subsequently ruined our following day because we slept terribly, especially the kids who were very upset about the unexpected alarm in the night.
Regarding the property, the water pressure was terrible, the water was scalding hot, there were spider webs, and the beds were very uncomfortable. Two of the initial rooms we were directed to were not yet cleaned from prior guests. We couldn’t figure out how to use the heat and never saw staff after we checked in.
- Hélie (8/5): -
- Mark (7/5): -
- Nicole (8/5): Very enjoyable stay, great location and very friendly staff - Room was lovely, spacious and clean. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Only a few minutes walk into the city The breakfast wasn’t great, not much options and the pastries were a bit stale
- Dorothy (1/5): Stay away, very dated - Going home First room we were given was full of take out cartons and drink cups, floor was filthy, not cleaned after last customer. Then we were given a room on floor two. Ceiling in room had damp and mould. Large mould clustered around the shower vent too. Towels felt damp to the touch. Towel for shower entrance hadn’t been changed. Room seemed clean. Then at 10am next morning two people entered the room with their luggage after checking in, while we were in bed. Didn’t even complain at reception, just wanted out of there by the end of it. Thankfully we only had a one night stay booked.
- Carmel (1/5): Very unprofessional, needs work - Close to city Wifi not working,
TV not tuned
Dirty
Carpark not good and could not get out.
- Lea (8/5): -
- Priscillia (9/5): I recommend - The location is great. The hotel is beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The staff is really helpful, I was really well welcomed. The reception is amazing. no breakfast on the second day.
- Dario (4/5): - Posizione
Silenziosità Servizi minimali
Bagno con servizi minimali
Accesso alla stanza scomodo
- paula (7/5): Stanza datata con bisogno di manutenzione, la posizione e strategica e il parking e comodo. - Posizione ideale vicina al centro Machina per caffe sporca e senza caffe ne tazze. Non si puo regolare l’acqua della doccia ed era bollente.
- Catherine (7/5): A great visit to Kilkenny during the Arts Festival, reasonably priced accommodation,good location. - Bed very comfortable. Large quiet room. Lovely bathroom.Staff very pleasant. No bed side lights, no mirror in the bathroom, no towel rails, no chair in the bed room, just a stool, a coffee machine that came with no instructions. In fairness, a member of staff came to demonstrate the coffee machine and provided a chair on request. A kettle was provided on day two of a three day stay. We never managed to get the t.v to work either.
- Anne (4/5): For the premium price we paid for two nights, this was a very disappointing experience. - The location was excellent. The staff were friendly. The bathroom was tiny. No room to put your clothes when taking a shower. The shower was a disaster. Either too hot or too cold. Worst of all the toilet seat was broken. There wasn’t even a waste bin in our room apart from a tiny one in the bathroom. One of the bedside lights wasn’t working. No cups or anything that one could have a drink out off.
- Vanessa (8/5): -
- Belinda (8/5): - Very comfortable bed, bathroom was imacculate Smelt a little bit damp, but room was clean, new bathroom, very comfortable bed

- David (8/5): Friendly, comfortable and good value. - Comfortable, very good location for walking to kilkenny city bars, cafés and tourist attractions. Staff were very friendly. Nice cosy bar. No food available due to renovations, but plenty of cafés and bars within 10 min walk.
Nice Riverside walk nearby. Parking space limited.
- Shawn (10/5): -
- Delaney (8/5): Decent accomodation. - No mugs/glasses left in room so couldnt make tea/coffee and wasnt informed about heating.we had to plug in oil heater in room which heated up quickly but wasnt informed to do so when we checked in. Was expecting a radiator
- Antonella (1/5): -
- Pauline (5/5): - The location The room was okay but did not match the photos advertised, the room and the ensuite were much smaller. There was not enough hot water for a shower the next morning. There are no proper parking facilities, we were first instructed to park in a small tight area with no free parking spaces and no space to turn, then we were told to park in a shared car park by the staff which they said they owned but we came to the car the next morning to find a notice stuck on the car saying we were not permitted to park in this area.
- Tamara (10/5): - Good location Absolutely amazing staff.Small and comfortable room Need pillows and mattress protectors A cups for coffee and glasses for water
- Robert (8/5): Nice place 👌 quite enjoyed our stay. - No breakfast 😢 kitchen under renovation Water could have been a bit warmer
