Tried to cancel reservation literally minutes after making reservation made by mistake. They refused to refund the deposit citing some policy. Only small people without character would act as they did.

The hotel and staff were wonderful. Very comfortable rooms. The breakfast was excellent, as was dinner at the restaurant. Lots of gluten free options available. They had live traditional music in the bar the first night we were there. It was wonderful. Walking distance to everything in Kilkenny.

Unfortunately, the property was in very poor condition. The guest room carpet was absolutely filthy with spots and stains everywhere. The rooms are dated, worn and noisy from street traffic. No AC, just dirty ceiling fan. Restaurant had nice breakfast, but also dated. Pub was fine. Great location, but cannot recommend.

They keep this grand old hotel polished and clean. I’m sure 50 years ago it was luxurious. However, they have not advanced with the times. No Air conditioning isn’t a luxury hotel. They supply fans but it is warm most of the night. The satellite tv they advertise is limited and it says antenna tv. There are no refrigerators in the room. No ice except at the bar. The Glory Days have passed them by.

We liked our stay so much, we rearranged our plans to stay again the night before our flight from Dublin. Wonderful historic hotel staffed by great people. Spacious rooms, just keep the windows closed if you like to sleep in.

Wonderful old but renovated hotel in downtown. Parking garage right across the street, and reasonable, like 12Euro for the night. Dining room and bar staff were wonderful. Food in Ember is first class.
