L emplacement permettant de tout faire à pied. LA gentillesse de l'hôte qui nous a surclassé.
Le bruit et l'isolation (Les voisins du dessus nous ont réveillé à 4h pour préparer leur départ...), le salon "borgne" peu utilisable.
Ubiación céntrica
al lado de una obra
The accommodation is clean and located in the middle of the town, near the best attractions of Kilkenny.
The price is really too high considering the services of the room !!
Proximité avec le centre ville de Kilkenny (on peut tout faire à pied).
Emplacement en centre ville mais très calme avec terrasse. Appartement très confortable avec tout ce qu'il faut pour passer un bon séjour !

Location is great for walking about the city.
Weekend partying was heard clearly till 3am and no parking available. Not ideal for a family with young kids.
La ubicación perfecto
3 habitaciones estaban ocupadas por gente que salía de fiesta por lo que no dormimos nada. Se oye mucho los ruido de las puertas del resto de habitaciones. Entre las 2 y 5 de la madrugada imposible dormir
Location, cleanliness
Wifi wasn't working initially. Price could have been little lower. Room was a bit cramped.
I liked how close it was to everything. It was very clean. The young lady and gentleman who were there to greet us when we came were very friendly. The bar itself had great food and entertainment. We would stay again.
We lost WIFI on our second day and it stayed out the rest of our stay and the man in charge didn't explain properly about using the bars WIFI and didn't check back to make sure we had WIFI. The Bar was very busy and maybe it didn't cross his mind to check in with us.

Transport
Seamless check in/check out. Very helpful property managers
It was in a great location, easy to access. Staff were lovely over the phone and in person. Also received complimentary finger food on arrival in the bar, a lovely touch.
The images of the property suggested there was a living area, at least a table as well as a bedroom and a bathroom. However there was simply just 8 beds and a bin, there was little to no space for 8 people to have belongings, even move around in the room.
Brilliant Accomodation , apartment was spotless , great location , great people to deal with. Apartment fitted 16 lads comfortably. Thanks for having us , we had a great time in Kilkenny.
La situation était parfaite pour découvrir Kilkenny.
Sehr gute Lage
Für uns war vorher nicht ersichtlich, dass es ein Hostel ist. War trotzdem okay
Big group of 17 lads, apartment was clean tidy and in a great location
The clear shower enclosure. It is so easy to walk into as there is nothing highlighted on it for safety
Die Lage war super, man konnte ganz Kilkenny zu Fuß erkunden. Preislich ist es auch super und das Beste ist, dass die Unterkunft direkt hinter einem Pub liegt
Excellent location, clean, comfortable beds and great space for a group.
You do have to pay in advance via bank transfer but we didn't have any issues with that.
Allt var bra!👍
Really easy booking. Ciara gave us lots of advice on how to get there, where to park etc. Communicating with her was really easy and she was patient with any requests. Apartment is well serviced, clean, more spacious than you think and absolutely perfectly located. Walking distance from anywhere you'd want to go in Kilkenny. Showers were great - even with two of them on the go at one time. The code system is really easy is especially in a large group. Arif was really easy to deal with on arrival, leaving his job to come get us in. On check out, he was prompt, polite and accommodating. He was really helpful in Lanigan's Bar also, which I would recommend for people looking good atmosphere in Kilkenny. All in all, a fantastic experience. Unbeatable value for money. Perfect location. Easy hosts. Particularly if you are coming down in a big group looking somewhere to stay and a bit of craic, this is the place for you.

Space and perfect location

Excellent location. It is clean and well designed for a large group.
Odd mix of twin and single beds. The kitchen area is small.
L'up-grade gratuito. La posizione centrale è la tranquillità.
In cucina mancava il piano cottura
Ubicación perfecta, a pocos pasos del centro. Óptima comunicación con la anfitriona. Camas comodas..top!
Loved the location of the accomadation. Cosy and cute room.
Some kind of liquid/stain was visible on one of the picture frames.
acqua della doccia bollente non regolabile
The apartment was spotless and beds very comfortable. Area out the back with picnic table if required. Staff service was excellent. Thanks Ciara. Perfect quiet location in the centre of Kilkenny
We had to bring our own towels and shampoo/shower gel. Kitchen/living area was dark
Molto accogliente e pulita
Posizione pulizia
Very comfortable beds and excellent location. Accommodation was very quiet and private even though it was in the busy town. Would definitely recommend.
Very good in location, in the middle of the city
In our room there’s dirt on the wall
Was very clean and great location
No lift
Goede locatie midden in het centrum.
De locatie zit direct naast een pub. Oordoppen zijn nodig om goed te kunnen slapen.
Posizione centralissima e stanza grande

Ubytování pro čtyřčlennou rodinu splnilo naše očekávání. Místa bylo akorát, vše čisté. Cítili jsme se tam velmi dobře. Náš příjezd do Kilkenny byl v pozdních večerních hodinách. Klíče od ubytování jsme si vyzvedli v baru, který je v těsné blízkosti. Po uložení zavazadel jsme si po dlouhém cestování zašli na skvělé místní pivo. V baru hrála místní kapela, krásný začátek cesty po Irsku:). Doporučuji!
Very spacious and beds were comfy.in perfect location so central from everywhere

We had a fabulous time here. Perfect location and the space of the apartment is amazing. The host was so nice We cannot wait to come back here aian Couldn't recommend it enough
Nothing
We had a fantastic stay at this apartment! Everything was spotless and well-maintained, which made us feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect — close to everything we needed, with easy access to local shops and restaurants. We parked in a public car park which was about a 3 min walk from the property. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay and would happily return.
2 large bedrooms with loads of beds. Enough for 9 kids to sleep in 1 room and the adults in the other. Very central. Beds were clean and comfortable. 2 toilets with showers in both. Couch was very comfortable. I was dealing with Ciara through messages, and she was very helpful.
The kitchen, sitting room, and fridge were a bit small for our large group, but the couch was big enough for all the kids to sit on, and there were 4 high chairs at the island. Overall we were very happy with our stay.
La localisation en plein centre est top. Parking à côté du logement facile d’accès.
Le principe de réservation. Il faut bien regarder les messages sur l’application Booking car il faut faire un virement bancaire + payer une caution en cash… je n’ai jamais vu cela sur Booking. Heureusement Ciara a été arrangeante car je n’avais pas vu le message. La chambre par contre n était pas propre… obligé de déplacer légèrement un des lits car j ai fais tomber un papier et la surprise: des ongles, des boules quies et de la saleté sous les lit 🤯😱
Right in the town centre
Room was small but we all had a bed
Ubicación instalaciones
La dichosa luz de salida de emergencia es insoportable a la hora de dormir. Ilumina toda la habitación
The manager responded quickly to our concern about the really bright green LED lights in the ceiling. Sound like lots of people staying there were also complaining about them.
As my children pointed out as we walked in to the bathrooms, the look / feel / smell like hospital bathrooms. A shower gel dispenser on the wall would have helped, fresh towels during out 3 night stay would have been great. Not enough pillows or towels were given out. Really uncomfortable sleep with 1 very thin pillow and very bright lights inside the rooms that can't be turned off. Hardly slept for 3 nights.
Excellent location, perfect for a large group.
Honestly can't think of any fault.
We had booked the apartment above Lanigan’s pub and without advance notice switched to a different apartment not in same central location. We had booked the original location back several months ago and was confirmed.
It wasn’t a comfortable place. It had standard furniture and enough beds but Just average.
Location

Location was fantastic, apartment was spacious for a family and had everything you might need.
L' alloggio si trova nella zona centrale della città. È vicinissima alle principali attrazioni.
L' alloggio non era ben insonorizzato e si sentiva la musica e le chiacchiere provenire dalla strada. Un altro problema è il parcheggio che non è presente nella struttura
Had a nice stay at the property..it's family friendly...right in the middle of the city, in a quiet place..we would highly recommend this place.
Very central location, warm welcome on arrival. Huge airy room, hot shower, comfortable beds, My children were especially delighted with easy access bunks with individual reading lights.
We liked everything
This property is amazing in the heart of Kilkenny, food is amazing in the bar and staff were lovely
The location is great and the room was clean. The staff in the bar area are lovely. Lots of electrical sockets in the room.
This accommodation should only be classed as a Hostel and should reflect hostel rates as when checking in that is what all staff referred to it as. The photos of the room we stayed in were deceiving it is much smaller than it appeared. There are absolutely no facilities in the room not even a plug for the bathroom sink. The pillows disappear when you lay on them. We stayed in the 5 bed room thankfully there were only 4 of us there as we were tripping over each other there was absolutely no room to pass each other by. On the morning of check out a man knocked on the door while opening it it was bang on 11am thankfully we were all dressed and we were just leaving.
Location is great! Lanigans Pub is a lot of fun!
The room is bare bones, but that's okay. we only planned on sleeping there. The staff aren't on site, and I couldn't get my phone to work with theirs. He said if we needed anything to come to the bar. When we went to bed that night, we found out there was an extremely bright green light directly over the bed, keeping us from sleeping. The bar was closed so we couldn't contact anyone. No sleep that night made for a miserable time.
Location and cleaniness
Sound from the bar below
Ciara and all the staff in Lanigans could not do enough for us. We travelled.as a group of 2 adults and 6 children/teenagers and we had such a great time. While the accommodation is compact it is very well laid out with very comfy beds and spotlessly clean. Kitchen area was small but it had everything we needed and the 8 of us had breakfast every morning at the same time. It's location is just amazing just off one of the main streets and central to everything. Can't wait to return to stay in Lanigans again I would highly recommend it.
The beds were so comfortable! Arif was pleasant to deal with and was very accommodating to our group! Also the complimentary finger food was a lovely touch
The pillows. Could have done with two per person!
