The location is great and offers ample parking. The breakfast included is amazing. There were only 2 issues we incurred. There is no elevator and if you have a large suitcase beware! Moving it up all the stairs is a physical challenge. Also our room was above a party area that blared music until 1am and then the loud party talkers went to 2am. Hey, it was a saturday night! But choose your rooms wisely

Rooms are very basic. One must know prior there is NO elevator. Heavy suitcases are hard to maneuver throughout the stairs. Brkfst served is very fantastic. We did stay on a Saturday night and the music downstairs was horribly loud until 1am and then the party went on until 2:30am. All in all I would return but choose my room away from the hotel party area

This hotel is so cute and quirky. The halls can be a little confusing, but I think that added to the charm. Very comfortable bed, nice bathroom, friendly staff. Conveniently located, within easy walking distance of everything you want to see in Kilkenny.

Great for free parking and in the heart of Kilkenny central area. Stayed one night in the original building in a very small room with no windows (only a small skylight). Functional room but uncomfortable bed. Walls are paper thin, can clearly hear people in the next room. Overpriced for a very small room. Would not stay again.

Nice room. Only negatives were there are no elevators, so you have to lift your heavy luggage up the steps and there are a lot of steps! Also, the coffee was not the best. But nice area, good and easy parking, clean, and very central!

An authentic and well maintained older hotel entrance, lobby, restaurant and ballroom areas. Our room was located in an added newer building providing all the modern conveniences with one exception; there is no lift. If you are willing to carry luggage up a flight or two, then this is a great place to stay. All the medieval attractions, restaurants and shops were all within walking distance. We would stay here again if we ever get back to Kilkenny.

The most charming stay of our trip

We absolutely loved our stay here. It's off the beaten path, gloriously quiet, and it oozes charm. And the owners were incredibly kind, even celebrating the birthday of a returned customer with a cake. The roads to get there aren't for the faint of heart. They are scary narrow and as an American already driving on the other side of the road... well that part isn't great. The village of Ballyvaugan is tiny with few food options, so some advance planning is necessary. But the options that do exist are great (including Mr Kebab).
