The Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

Not worth it. I would have rather spent less and stayed closer to town in a place with better customer service.

Did not like how the beds were made, sheets constantly coming off showing the mattress, and the bed was just very uncomfortable. But the town was great and so cute.

Nice hotel Friendly staff Only complaint is the GPS maps took us on a bit of a goose chase on location

We really enjoyed our stay in the Hoban, we were able to check in early. Our room was very large and clean. Looked very new and modern. Rooms had an espresso machine which was a nice addition. The breakfast was great with lots of variety. Only small criticism was that the room was very hot trying to sleep and the bathroom door was on a chain and kept slamming so could be an issue if you had kids staying.

On arrival at reception the staff isssued the incorrect room compared to what I paid and booked. Ot took 3 different trips back and forth to rooms until they eventually got it right. There was a language barrier as English is not their first language. The room has no good AC so thr bathroom steams up and room is stuffy and hot. There was no residence bar. Breakfast was advertised to finish at 1030 however there was little food by 0930 and not replaced. The hotel is located in an industrial area and you need a car or taxi to take you to the city unless you like walking in the rain.

Perfect location, very friendly staff. Very convenient restaurant. We only had one incident on our last day where my husband and daughter had a run in with the front desk, we were guests and had complementary breakfast with our lodging, the server told them that they were with a bud tour that had just left and needed to pay. They should have simply asked to see our room card to solve their problem but we’re instead rude. These are things that a well trained staff could have easily avoided. Otherwise everything was great and I will stay there again. The location is perfect for those who like being close to downtown but don’t want the congestion. Kudos to the lady who checked us in-she was fabulous!

Difficult to find even with a GPS. Too far from town. Room very hot, fan didn’t work. Ground floor , diesel vehicle outside window noisy and nauseous smell. Talking loud in the middle of the night. Interrupting our sleep. Restaurant and bar adequate. Staff friendly and did try to help.

Nice clean and comfortable hotel at the edge of the city. Good place to stay if you have a car which you will need to drive into Kilkenny.

I wasn’t a fan of this property. There were stains in the carpet of our room and the bathroom smelled weird. We think it was the soap but not entirely sure
