    The staff upgraded our bedroom to river view because we mentioned that this is our graduation trip. The view is unreal and the team went above and beyond for this upgrade. This hotel is the best in downtown.

    The hotel is exceptionally well kept and in a perfect location and has its own parking area. The terrace overlooking the river and Kilkenny Castle is lovely, and it's an easy walk to the castle and the old medieval part of the city with pubs,...
