This is our go-to place to stay in Kilkenny. We've been here twice already and will be returning again next year. The staff is amazing and very very friendly - our little daughter loved interacting with the ladies at the reception and really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt they organized for her. The location is perfect, our room was spacious and quite cozy + the building has a significant historical and architectural value. The breakfast menu was very well structured - I'd definitely recommend the eggs Benedict! All in all - we'd recommend the place to anyone who's willing to get the most of their stay in Kilkenny!

We had the best time there, the staff is very welcoming. Homely and quiet room. Plus, it's so nice to be surrounded by noble wooden furniture, all the way from our room to JB's pub. Kilkenny is such a lovely and lively little town. It has a strong local pub culture in which we felt heartily welcomed, even though we had that strong tourist vibe !

The rooms are small and the bathroom is down the hall and if the water isn’t hot try the other bathroom, but… what a fantastic night we had!! Our first night in Ireland and we had an amazing time. We sat outside and drank with the locals, moved inside as it got later and colder, people started singing and we ended up going to bed at 2am. Very warm and welcoming locals.

Great location within walking distance of the city center, restaurants, pubs, and the castle. The room and bathroom were clean. There’s a small fridge in the room, and we even found a few breakfast items inside — a nice touch! Also, a big plus for the parking space behind the building.

    A few steps away from the city center, parking included just behind the structure. The guesthouse is finely furnished and the host provides some complementarities, which is always appreciated. The bed was very comfy!

    The rooms in this quaint house are very pretty- tasteful decor, warm, and welcoming. They aren't big but my single room was just right for me and my friend's double room worked for them as a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was quiet. Coffee/tea pot tea/coffee was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive and check in is via door code so no need to meet up with them to get the key. Short walk into the center of town, so great location. Easy parking on site.
