“Top choice for Kilkenny hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 June 2010

person found this review helpful

We couldn't believe we got a rate of E75/night, though for a weekday, in a city-centre 4 star hotel. We were surprised still by the location of the hotel, and the fact that it has a parking lot for 40-odd cars in such a central location. Though we were lucky to steal the last place available when we arrived! The check-in was smooth, the staff nice and helpful, the room of decent size, the staff super-quick (it was seconds after we entered the room, that we received a staff member carrying the baby cot for the room. The room-size was ample. The beds looked exactly-like on the hotel's website, and were snooze-worthy. But the best part, for the umpteenth time, was the location.

The only disappointing feature was the breakfast. Bland and limited choice. But the room was crowded & staff very attentive. You have to accept that hotel breakfasts in Ireland can be no match for the B&Bs. But still, great location. Go book it, if you get a great rate.

“Excellent Hotel Close to Everything”

The Pembroke was our favorite hotel. It had everything; free wifi, breakfast included, free parking, US style outlet, comfy beds. And it was walking distance to many sights in Kilkenny and tons of restaurants, bars, and shops.

“Nice hotel in Kilkenny”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

We stayed here 2 nights on a 2 week Ireland vacation. It is a nice modern hotel which was a nice break from the B&B's. The buffet-style full Irish breakfast was hearty and tasty. The room (interior) was quiet and roomy. All typical ammenities for a modern hotel were included. Didn't try the restaurant but it looked good. The location is great- just at the end of the main street, but no pubs next door so pretty quiet. Management has an accomodating, positive attitude.

“Excellent Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2010

Hotel recently extensively refurbished following ownership change. Located in city centre & within walking distance of shops, restaurants, pubs & the Castle. Hotel is of contemporary design & allocated room was well furnished & provided more than adequate space. All staff were very efficient, courteous & helpful, particularly Lucie & Caroline at reception. Only negative aspect was absence of leisure facilities. Whilst a local leisure complex was recommended, it was too far to walk.
