- John (10/5): -
- Ivvy Eleni (10/5): -
- Brigid (10/5): - The clear shower enclosure. It is so easy to walk into as there is nothing highlighted on it for safety
- Mangan (10/5): -
- Adrian (9/5): - Die Lage war super, man konnte ganz Kilkenny zu Fuß erkunden. Preislich ist es auch super und das Beste ist, dass die Unterkunft direkt hinter einem Pub liegt
- Jane (9/5): - Excellent location, clean, comfortable beds and great space for a group. You do have to pay in advance via bank transfer but we didn't have any issues with that.

- Katy (10/5): Perfect place for a few nights in a fine city - Really easy booking. Ciara gave us lots of advice on how to get there, where to park etc. Communicating with her was really easy and she was patient with any requests.
Apartment is well serviced, clean, more spacious than you think and absolutely perfectly located. Walking distance from anywhere you'd want to go in Kilkenny.
Showers were great - even with two of them on the go at one time.
The code system is really easy is especially in a large group.
Arif was really easy to deal with on arrival, leaving his job to come get us in. On check out, he was prompt, polite and accommodating. He was really helpful in Lanigan's Bar also, which I would recommend for people looking good atmosphere in Kilkenny.
All in all, a fantastic experience. Unbeatable value for money. Perfect location. Easy hosts. Particularly if you are coming down in a big group looking somewhere to stay and a bit of craic, this is the place for you. Nothing

La posizione centrale è la tranquillità. In cucina mancava il piano cottura
- Mike (10/5): Very affordable apartment for a large group with lots of bunk and single beds. - Excellent location. It is clean and well designed for a large group. Odd mix of twin and single beds. The kitchen area is small.
- Rsn (10/5): - Ubicación perfecta, a pocos pasos del centro. Óptima comunicación con la anfitriona. Camas comodas..top!
- Holger (7/5): -
- Lucy (9/5): Brilliant room for a family or group of close friends like myself and my group! - Loved the location of the accomadation. Cosy and cute room. Some kind of liquid/stain was visible on one of the picture frames.
- Nani (7/5): - acqua della doccia bollente non regolabile
- Greenan (8/5): -
- Mia (8/5): Perfect location in comfortable, spotless apartment - The apartment was spotless and beds very comfortable. Area out the back with picnic table if required. Staff service was excellent. Thanks Ciara. Perfect quiet location in the centre of Kilkenny We had to bring our own towels and shampoo/shower gel. Kitchen/living area was dark
- Noeleen (10/5): - Very comfortable beds and excellent location. Accommodation was very quiet and private even though it was in the busy town. Would definitely recommend.

- James (10/5): -
- SLvanGroningen (7/5): Prima plek om een dagje Kilkenny te ontdekken. - Goede locatie midden in het centrum. De locatie zit direct naast een pub. Oordoppen zijn nodig om goed te kunnen slapen.
- Ciaran (10/5): -
- Pavlína (8/5): - Ubytování pro čtyřčlennou rodinu splnilo naše očekávání. Místa bylo akorát, vše čisté. Cítili jsme se tam velmi dobře. Náš příjezd do Kilkenny byl v pozdních večerních hodinách. Klíče od ubytování jsme si vyzvedli v baru, který je v těsné blízkosti. Po uložení zavazadel jsme si po dlouhém cestování zašli na skvělé místní pivo. V baru hrála místní kapela, krásný začátek cesty po Irsku:). Doporučuji!
- Ncube (4/5): -
- Susan (9/5): We had a very enjoyable stay and was so handy we were so close to everything - Very spacious and beds were comfy.in perfect location so central from everywhere Nothing
- Guest (10/5): -
- Caroline (10/5): Great property, ideal location - We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! Everything was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect — close to everything we needed, with easy access to local shops and restaurants. We parked in a public car park which was about a 3 min walk from the property. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would happily return.
- Jackie (10/5): - We had a fabulous time here.
Perfect location and the space of the apartment is amazing.
The host was so nice
We cannot wait to come back here aian
Couldn't recommend it enough Nothing

- AnneMarie (8/5): Lovely family stay in Kilkenny. - 2 large bedrooms with loads of beds. Enough for 9 kids to sleep in 1 room and the adults in the other. Very central. Beds were clean and comfortable. 2 toilets with showers in both. Couch was very comfortable.
I was dealing with Ciara through messages, and she was very helpful. The kitchen, sitting room, and fridge were a bit small for our large group, but the couch was big enough for all the kids to sit on, and there were 4 high chairs at the island. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
- Julien (5/5): Emplacement bien, mais méthode de réservation et propreté de la chambre à revoir - La localisation en plein centre est top. Parking à côté du logement facile d’accès. Le principe de réservation. Il faut bien regarder les messages sur l’application Booking car il faut faire un virement bancaire + payer une caution en cash… je n’ai jamais vu cela sur Booking. Heureusement Ciara a été arrangeante car je n’avais pas vu le message.
La chambre par contre n était pas propre… obligé de déplacer légèrement un des lits car j ai fais tomber un papier et la surprise: des ongles, des boules quies et de la saleté sous les lit 🤯😱
- Guest (10/5): -
- Cathy Harman (7/5): Would stay again . Close to everywhere. Just room was a bit small - Right in the town centre Room was small but we all had a bed
- Juan Antonio (8/5): - Ubicación instalaciones La dichosa luz de salida de emergencia es insoportable a la hora de dormir. Ilumina toda la habitación
- Andrew (4/5): Location is great, I can see how / why it works for stag and hen dos. It's not really for families. - The manager responded quickly to our concern about the really bright green LED lights in the ceiling. Sound like lots of people staying there were also complaining about them. As my children pointed out as we walked in to the bathrooms, the look / feel / smell like hospital bathrooms. A shower gel dispenser on the wall would have helped, fresh towels during out 3 night stay would have been great. Not enough pillows or towels were given out. Really uncomfortable sleep with 1 very thin pillow and very bright lights inside the rooms that can't be turned off. Hardly slept for 3 nights.
- Gary (10/5): Perfect for a large group - Excellent location, perfect for a large group. Honestly can't think of any fault.
- Elizabeth (6/5): Average - We had booked the apartment above Lanigan’s pub and without advance notice switched to a different apartment not in same central location.
We had booked the original location back several months ago and was confirmed. It wasn’t a comfortable place. It had standard furniture and enough beds but
Just average.
- Ber (10/5): - Location was fantastic, apartment was spacious for a family and had everything you might need.
- Gary (9/5): - Location Kitchenet
- Pietrosanti (8/5): - L' alloggio si trova nella zona centrale della città. È vicinissima alle principali attrazioni. L' alloggio non era ben insonorizzato e si sentiva la musica e le chiacchiere provenire dalla strada. Un altro problema è il parcheggio che non è presente nella struttura
- Kate (9/5): -
- Sony (8/5): Great time! @ affordable rate - Had a nice stay at the property..it's family friendly...right in the middle of the city, in a quiet place..we would highly recommend this place.
- Paula (10/5): Excellence in Kilkenny - Very central location, warm welcome on arrival. Huge airy room, hot shower, comfortable beds, My children were especially delighted with easy access bunks with individual reading lights. We liked everything
- Danielle (10/5): Will deffo be back - This property is amazing in the heart of Kilkenny, food is amazing in the bar and staff were lovely
- Anne (1/5): Didn't meet our expectations - The location is great and the room was clean. The staff in the bar area are lovely. Lots of electrical sockets in the room. This accommodation should only be classed as a Hostel and should reflect hostel rates as when checking in that is what all staff referred to it as. The photos of the room we stayed in were deceiving it is much smaller than it appeared. There are absolutely no facilities in the room not even a plug for the bathroom sink. The pillows disappear when you lay on them. We stayed in the 5 bed room thankfully there were only 4 of us there as we were tripping over each other there was absolutely no room to pass each other by.
On the morning of check out a man knocked on the door while opening it it was bang on 11am thankfully we were all dressed and we were just leaving.
- Cork (1/5): - Location is great! Lanigans Pub is a lot of fun! The room is bare bones, but that's okay. we only planned on sleeping there. The staff aren't on site, and I couldn't get my phone to work with theirs. He said if we needed anything to come to the bar. When we went to bed that night, we found out there was an extremely bright green light directly over the bed, keeping us from sleeping. The bar was closed so we couldn't contact anyone. No sleep that night made for a miserable time.

- STEPHEN (8/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): - Ciara and all the staff in Lanigans could not do enough for us. We travelled.as a group of 2 adults and 6 children/teenagers and we had such a great time.
While the accommodation is compact it is very well laid out with very comfy beds and spotlessly clean.
Kitchen area was small but it had everything we needed and the 8 of us had breakfast every morning at the same time.
It's location is just amazing just off one of the main streets and central to everything.
Can't wait to return to stay in Lanigans again I would highly recommend it.
- Emma (8/5): Comfortable! - The beds were so comfortable! Arif was pleasant to deal with and was very accommodating to our group! Also the complimentary finger food was a lovely touch The pillows. Could have done with two per person!

Thoroughly enjoyed and the staff we met were lovely very easy going The fact my accommodation was changed to a location further away from the city centre prior to arriving although it was switched back after I made certain points clear, it caused unnecessary hassle
