Hotel Kilkenny
"Great hotel! Beautiful spacious rooms. It's a 15 minute walk to the town centre but that was fine for us. If you're not able/wanting to walk that far every day and back, I would look at staying somewhere more central. Otherwise this hotel was excellent and very friendly staff. I would recommend that ..."
