The staff at the hotel, no matter the job they have, are the best! Such amazing and friendly service. They were very informative on the area on things to do and places to eat. They were very helpful in lining up any transportation needs. I've traveled for years and there haven't been many hotels that could match their level of friendliness and service

Friendly reception and given a room away from the bar and restaurant as requested. Had dinner in the restaurant - food was fine and reasonably priced. Comfortable bed and good sized room. The room was quite warm and had no means of control. Not sure where the heat was coming from (but not outside). Our bathroom fan was continually on all night. In the corridor was a cupboard with loud and low frequency humming noise also all night. Night staff informed but they didn't do anything. Given free breakfast as compensation but does that make up for a disturbed night?

Property was in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle but only a 25 minute walk or so to Kilkenny Castle and Medieval Mile. No gym or pool/hot tub however fairly busy so did not really miss them. We asked for a fridge in advance of our arrival and it was provided. Very friendly and helpful staff

I loved everything about this hotel! The beds were comfortable, and the room was cozy. All the staff were extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Chris at the reception desk was very helpful. Jonathon in the restaurant and bar was great and Masimo was knowledgeable with everything from places to go in town, the train station and assisted us with Taxi's.

Overall, the hotel was clean and the service was good. However, although it was on a 5-7 minute taxi ride, we would prefer to stay in the city center.

Biggest disappointment is there is no air conditioning and that would have been ok if the property description listed that. For the price the room was tiny, bathroom tiny and roof very stuffy- no fan in bathroom so after a shower the entire room was stuffy and window only opens a crack which I understand is code. Overall the our least favorite stay in Ireland.

We got to our hotel early and the staff went above and beyond to get us into our rooms. It was such an amazing experience with a hotel. If I come back to Kilkenny, I would not hesitate to book my stay here. Thank you for being so accommodating!

Did not like how the beds were made, sheets constantly coming off showing the mattress, and the bed was just very uncomfortable. But the town was great and so cute.

We really enjoyed our stay in the Hoban, we were able to check in early. Our room was very large and clean. Looked very new and modern. Rooms had an espresso machine which was a nice addition. The breakfast was great with lots of variety. Only small criticism was that the room was very hot trying to sleep and the bathroom door was on a chain and kept slamming so could be an issue if you had kids staying.

On arrival at reception the staff isssued the incorrect room compared to what I paid and booked. Ot took 3 different trips back and forth to rooms until they eventually got it right. There was a language barrier as English is not their first language. The room has no good AC so thr bathroom steams up and room is stuffy and hot. There was no residence bar. Breakfast was advertised to finish at 1030 however there was little food by 0930 and not replaced. The hotel is located in an industrial area and you need a car or taxi to take you to the city unless you like walking in the rain.

Perfect location, very friendly staff. Very convenient restaurant. We only had one incident on our last day where my husband and daughter had a run in with the front desk, we were guests and had complementary breakfast with our lodging, the server told them that they were with a bud tour that had just left and needed to pay. They should have simply asked to see our room card to solve their problem but we’re instead rude. These are things that a well trained staff could have easily avoided. Otherwise everything was great and I will stay there again. The location is perfect for those who like being close to downtown but don’t want the congestion. Kudos to the lady who checked us in-she was fabulous!

Very adequate but in kind of a weird location - industrial park out of town. Not too far but nothing around the hotel. It does have it’s own restaurant. We were sick so we didn’t try the restaurant.
