Nothing about these scammers
They scammed us out of our money. We paid in advance. When we turned up they said we had been scammed and You, BOOKING.COM had ripped them off and not paid them. They offered us a room if we paid cash
Nothing
We arrived there and were told that they didn't have our prepaid reservation. We would have to pay them €86 in cash.
We had a lovely stay at Sonas House. Bed was comfy and a great selection of fruit, pastries, cereal etc to get us off to a good start to the day. Very convenient location. Thanks Adrian!

Good location and easy walk to attractions
Cramped room with very musty smell. Weird shower setup that was often cold. When we arrived owner advised that he hadn’t been paid by Booking.com and we had to pay him again in cash - all others arriving were told the same thing. Had to spend lots of time communicating with Booking.com to try and resolve - first time we have ever had a problem with a reservation.
Une fois arrivés sur place, nous avons été incapables de récupérer nos chambres. La personne sur place, qui n'était pas Charlene, nous a informés que notre réservation avait été faite de manière frauduleuse et qu'il était nécessaire de repayer la réservation en espèces. Nous avons immédiatement contacté Booking, qui a discuté avec la personne présente et qui n'a pas changé d'avis. Booking nous a envoyé une réponse dans les 45 minutes pour que nous puissions réserver un nouveau logement dans le secteur. Nous sommes vraiment déçus car nous n'avons pas pu visiter Kilkenny comme nous l'avions prévu.
Do not book here!!!! I can't comment on the facilities, as didn't get booked in. Despite having paid in full through this booking provider, the "host" called our booking "fraudulent" and demanded the full cost of the booking to be paid in cash before we could check in --- we left!!!
Rien n'a été appréciable. Nous avons été très mal à l'aise à cause du propriétaire.
Ne vous faites pas avoir : le propriétaire de l'établissement est un arnaqueur. Il nous a fait croire qu'il n'avait pas reçu l'argent de la part de Booking et qu'il n'avait pas réussi à les joindre, il nous a demandé de retirer la somme en espèces pour pouvoir accéder au chambre. J'ai pu constater avec Booking par la suite qu'il avait bien reçu le virement... Il était négligé, très nerveux et presque agressif. L'intérieur sentait mauvais et il y avait une odeur de cannabis dans l'air. Il était indiqué sur l'annonce que c'était une femme qui gérait l'établissement. Il ne nous a également pas servi le petit-déjeuner, pourtant compris dans le prix de la chambre. Nous étions par ailleurs dans la seule chambre sans salle de bain attenante. Il dormait sur place, dans une pièce en dessous de la nôtre et il était très bruyant. Bref, à fuir !
Great location, walk into city centre, supermarkets near by, close to ring route giving easy access from highways. Good basic continental breakfast.
All good.
Avoid this place they cancelled my booking when I arrived to check in although they had rooms available. I had prepaid for this stay and when I arrived they said it was a fraudulent booking as they hadn't been paid. The way booking.com works is the property gets paid 3 weeks after the booking date.

Nothing, Sonas House was CLOSED!!!!! Even though we had pre-paid. There was a note fixed to the gate to contact Booking.com. As it was late in the afternoon, this was EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT & STRESSFUL as we had to search & pay for alternative accommodation!!! WE ARE STILL WAITING FOR A FULL REFUND FOR THE UNAVAILABLE ACCOMMODATION & WE WISH TO BE FULLY REIMBURSED FOR THE ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION WE HAD TO FIND.FROM BOOKING.COM. We have as yet not had ANY RESPONSE from Booking.com.
See above!!!!
La camera è piccolina ma accogliente. Bagno privato esterno alla camera ma ben tenuto. Colazione molto interessante e gustosa. Il personale disponibile e molto accogliente! Posteggio comodo e gratuito.
Le scale per accedere alla camera sono scomode se si possiede una valigia grande.
Výborná snídaně, vstřícní ubytovatelé. Velký pokoj.
Příliš měkká postel. Blízko hlavní silnice - je dosti slyšet
L'emplacement parfait, l'accueil a été très sympathique, taille de la chambre parfaite, petit déjeuner au top !! Et un parking facile pour la voiture
Petit bémol sur le lit mou et qui grince, fenêtre qui ferme mal mais ce n'est que du détail car vu notre niveau de fatigue aucun des 2 nous a empêché de dormir ☺️
L'habitació esta bé, l'aigua de la dutxa no surt gaire calenta
Teníem esmorzar contractat i al despertar-nos no hi havia ningú (ni recepció, ni servei de menjador), no hi havia res per esmorzar. Vem trucar als propietaris i no van respondre ni aparèixer, vem haver de marxar sense esmorzar..... lamentable
Assolutamente tutto: la camera, la colazione, la gentilezza della proprietaria!!!!
Very conveniently located to the centre - short 10 minute walk to the castle. Friendly host, lovely breakfast, pleasant family room.
One of the beds was very creaky!
Ottima accoglienza da parte di Charline! Stanza e bagno spaziosi, colazione home made.
This was a highlight in my trip through Ireland. Charlene was an incredibly accommodating and welcoming hostess. She made last minute changes to our room needs, cooked us an incredible breakfast (best Irish pancakes), and was available to help any time we needed her. The property was charming, clean, and spacious. I had the best sleep I had had since my arrival in Ireland. Stay here - you won't be disappointed.
Honestly nothing. It exceeded our expectations on every level.

Très belle chambre dans un environnement calme. Petit déjeuner délicieux et copieux servi par une hôte des plus accueillante. A proximité du château avec parking privé sécurisé. Je recommande.
Rien, tout est parfait
Personne très accueillante et sympathique. Petit déjeuner très bien 👍
Lieve gastvrouw
Het bed lag niet prettig
Proximité de Kilkenny Propreté. Calme. Chambre confortable.
Le petit déjeuner ne nous a pas été servi Après une heure d’attente la propriétaire des lieux ne nous avait toujours pas pris la commande et ne nous avait rien servi!!! Les autres voyageurs (8 personnes) étaient dans la même situation. Ayant des impératifs de temps nous sommes donc partis à 9:30 a.m. sans avoir déjeuné. Je peux comprendre qu’il puisse y avoir ponctuellement un problème mais dans ce cas il faut donner des explications . À défaut c’est du manque de respect ou de l’incompétence.
La struttura è in ottima posizione, a 15 minuti a piedi dal centro cittadino. Charlene è un'eccezionale padrona di casa e sa mettere a proprio agio gli ospiti. La stanza era pulita e dotata di tutti i comfort. Possibilità di parcheggio nel cortile.
Il bagno era privato ma esterno alla camera. Comunque molto spazioso e pulito.
TRES ACCUEILLANT. CHAMBRE TRES BELLE ET PROPRE. BONNE LITERIE. TRES BON IRISH BREAKFAST ET D'EXCELLENTS PANCAKE
RAS
Very well maintained and super clean. Charlene is a wonderful host who is kind, generous, and accommodating.
Large bed in the family room is a little soft, and we had a bit of trouble getting hot water in the shower.
Host was enthusiastic and had contacts to provide us answers, book taxis, provide a list of places to dine. The room was clean and spacious. The host packed a lovely breakfast for us as we had to leave early morning.
Late night after dinner, the walk was not so safe as young kids about 10 years old were throwing things at us. We were a little lost near The Black Cat where they were. A lady living nearby gave us a ride home. We met nice and helpful people along the way.
Accueil très sympathique et enthousiaste de Charlène. Avec de très bons conseils pour les visites et un excellent petit déjeuner. (Pancakes exceptionnels) Très bon emplacement pour visiter Kilkenny à pied. Une grande salle de bains très bien équipée.
Chambre un peu petite avec salle de bain privative extérieure.
Sehr nette Gastgeberin. Towncentre ist leicht zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Breakfast was great! I liked having choices. Location was great for walking into town. Charlene was a great hostess. Rooms were spacious, clean and decorated well.
Ditch the plug-in air fresheners. We found them too strong. I wish there was a garden area or something outside to hang out in. We had TV access issues, but Charlene was right there to save the day...lol
I highly recommend staying here for a visit to Kilkenny. Charlene was the kindest B&B host. She was so welcoming and helpful. She also accommodated a vegan breakfast for me, I just let her know when I made the booking. 10/10.
Lits confortables et literie au top ! Excellent petit déjeuner traditionnel Gentillesse de notre hôte

Todo en orden, buena atención, lugar muy limpio, todo en su sitio, nos encantó.
On se sent chez soi ! Accueil, soin !
Host estremamente accogliente e simpatica. Ha dato le dritte giuste sui posti dove cenare. Colazione di ottimo livello, soprattutto perchè fatta realmente al momento. Situato in una zona tranquilla a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro
Insonorizzazione della camera
It was in the perfect location, Charlene gave us a nice warm welcome and made us feel at home 🥰
Molto accogliente e la proprietaria molto disponibile!
Abbiamo avuto problemi con l'acqua calda. Riferito e la proprietaria ha detto che avrebbe fatto sistemare.
Bra beliggenhet med 15 min. gåtur til sentrum. Fantastisk frokost, hyggelig vertinne, rent og pent. Sengene var komfortable.
Maîtresse des lieux super sympathique. Bon petit déjeuner.
Lit (sommier) partiellement cassé.
Très bon accueil et conseils de notre hôte Excellent petit déjeuner personnalisé
Chambre exiguë et proximité avec les autres locataires
Chambre cosy, soignée Charlène est très accueillante.
L'accueil, l'emplacement, la propreté, la décoration de la maison, les conseils, l'excellent petit déjeuner.

La proprietaria è una persona fantastica. Ha reso il nostro soggiorno speciale. Il parcheggio privato è davvero molto comodo. La camera era bellissima e pulita. È situato a 15 minuti dal centro a piedi e comunque vicino a due supermercati. La colazione era perfetta e ha reso la giornata più facile da affrontare.
Clean, comfortable, and everything I needed close by! Walking distance to town, where you can wander for hours! Great food and shopping. Delicious breakfast with lots of choices! Was greated and bid farewell like a dear friend. Truly enjoyed my stay!
Nothing! Reminder, the electric shower takes a minute to level its temperature out (they all do). Scalding hot then freezing cold, but once it figures itself out, it stays perfectly regulated and warm.
Charlene est extraordinaire, très accueillante et attentionnée .Elle nous a conseillé plusieurs pubs pour notre repas du soir , nous n’avons pas été dessus . La chambre est confortable, située à 15mn à pied du centre . Charlène nous a servi un « irish breakfast »copieux et excellent. Merci pour votre accueil . Nous recommandons cette adresse sans hésiter !
Chambre très chaleureuse et agréable avec salle de bain privative et dressing. Très propre et bien tenu. Parking Charlene est extrêmement serviable et agréable. Petit déjeuner avec plusieurs choix possible. Nous étions quatre et c’était parfait pour une nuit. Merci Charlene pour votre accueil
Peut-être le matelas un peu mou à mon goût mais le reste très bien
Charlene was super helpful and accommodating for us. Great breakfast too.
Charlene ist eine so herzliche Gastgeberin! Das Frühstück war frisch zubereitet und seeeehr gut. Geräumiges Zimmer. Unterkunft in Gehdistanz zum Stadtzentrum.
Da gibt es nichts.
L’emplacement et surtout l’accueil de Charlene. Les pancakes étaient délicieux
Charlene is een geweldige gastvrouw. Sonas House is heel gezellig en mooi ingericht. Badkamer met ligbad en lekkere zeepjes om te gebruiken. Heerlijk luxe ontbijt met heel veel keus. Top!
Beetje gehorig. Verder niets op aan te merken.
Charlène est une personne très sympathique qui nous a très chaleureusement accueilli et qui a été à nos petits soins durant notre séjour. je recommande sans hésitation car les chambres sont très agréables et au calme.
Lekker ontbijt , mooie kamer met een goed bed en alle nodige voorzieningen waren aanwezig
De heel smalle trap naar boven is niet zo makkelijk met je valies
Treated very lovely and breakfast was great. Very clean as well.
The mattresses in my opinion need replaced. Tough to sleep on. Didn’t have hot water for shower but could have been me, trying to figure out the shower.
L’accueil de Charlene , elle est très réactive à nos messages. Logement très agréable et propre

Charlene is extremely nice and helpful. She has created a wonderful atmosphere in all the rooms and her breakfast is absolutely delicious. I had the pancakes and my husband the Irish fry. Thank you so much for our stay.
Très bon petit déjeuner. Notre Hôtesse Charlène était très agréable et réactive.
Légèrement bruyant car près de la route principale
Lage
laut in der Nacht
Tolles Zimmer und klasse Frühstück
Der erste Eindruck von Außen. ABER!!!! Im Haus ist es sehr schön
Accueil souriant de Charlen.Belle chambre grande et décorée avec goût. Bon petit déjeuner à choisir et préparé à la demande. Parking pour la voiture.
Le matelas un peu fatigué et insonorisation insuffisante.
La struttura è molto vicina al centro di Kilkenny e Charlene è un host meravigliosa. Camere pulite, accoglienti. Colazione eccellente!
Ideal location. Very comfortable. Very friendly staff.
Iv no complaints
Velice milá obsluha, příjemné a čisté prostředí, krásný pokoj.
Easily walkable in to Town, great for off road parking. Lots of choice for breakfast
Frühstück sehr gut. Verschieden Wahlmöglichkeiten zu empfehlen
Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und haben gleich Tipps bekommen, wo wir in Kilkenny einkehren können. Die Zimmer und Bäder sind groß und sauber. Zum Frühstück gab es eine Karte für den Warmanteil wie Irish Breakfast, Rührei, Bacon und Porrigde. Parken konnten wir direkt auf dem Grundstück. Zur City ist es fußläufig.
Wir waren nur 1 Nacht hier, dafür war es für uns gut und es gab nichts zu beanstanden!
L’accueil de l’hôte, une grande chambre avec une grande salle de douche, un bon petit déjeuner Bien placé dans Kilkenny
que le petit déjeuner soit proposé
après une journée bien remplie , un peu loin du centre ville
camera ampia e confortevole, colazione strepitosa e accoglienza calorosa: super!
Charlene was very understanding and accommodating when our arrival was impacted by a flat tire. We were provided with convenient parking. The cook to order breakfast was very good and Charlene was very friendly and attentive! We appreciated the hair dryer and the face cloths provided. We also liked the hot water kettle and instant coffee provided in the room. We appreciated the little closet area to put suitcases since the space in the main room is very limited. The location was quiet and convenient. We were thankful we could open the windows as it got a little warm and stuffy. Thank you!
We had a little trouble finding the driveway to Sonas House. The house is back off the street a bit and the actual driveway/turn was not noted in our GPS directions so we ended up behind the house. We just got a "You have arrived" notification but the house is not visible from the street. A note in our arrival instruction to watch for the black gate after the turn would have been helpful. I didn't not feel very "welcomed" by the male checking us in but it very well could have been our fault due to our arrival which was later than we expected. A note on the switch (located OUTSIDE the bathroom) that controlled the shower (note to "KEEP SWITCH ON") -OR- instructions at the shower regarding how to operate it - would have been very helpful as we spent a LOT of time trying to figure out how to get the shower to work. We had accidentally turned the shower switch off when attempting to turn bathroom light on. A mirror near an outlet in the bedroom would be very helpful for using the hair dryer. There is very little floor space in the room, so all of the many pillow on the 3 beds were a bit much and could be reduced in number since there is no place to put them except on the floor which seems gross to me and is a less than an ideal place to put them. It would be very nice if the closet area had luggage racks (vs. the armoire/closet and little cabinet) since there is no room for luggage in the main room.
Clean and elegant
