My recent stay at Hotel Kilkenny was a mixed experience. I loved the restaurant's food and the cozy bar area, but I found the room to be somewhat dated and in need of better air conditioning. The location is convenient for exploring Kilkenny, but there were some amenities that didn't quite meet expectations.

I stayed in the Signature Double Room, which was clean but felt outdated for a 4-star hotel. It lacked some basic amenities like a socket beside the bed, and the shower curtain was cumbersome without weights. Also, had an issue with privacy as adjacent corridors were visible through the window.
