Reopened under new ownership in 2017, this three star hotel has benefited from renovations and is well situated, close to St Canice's cathedral and within easy walking distance of many of the cty's attractions.
Behind the smart new modern frontage there is now quite a cool and quirky contemporary interior. On the ground floor, a colourful lounge provides comfortable seating between the reception area and a pleasant split-level restaurant and, above it, there's an attractive new bar. The three lSmithwicks (red, pale and blonde) are offered on draught along with the local O’Sullivan’s Malted Red Ale and some craft bottles are offered too, including Franciscan Well, Costello’s and O’Hara’s and also Falling Apple Cider.
The bedrooms offer multiple combinations (single, double, twin, triple and interconnecting family rooms) and are well equipped with TV, WiFi etc and neat en-suite bathrooms.
Offering quality with good value and a slightly quirky tone, this interesting and conveniently located hotel brings something a bit different to Kilkenny.
