    The rooms are in a separate building to the pub which is next door and opens at 2pm. The room was lovely, comfortable and clean. Location is great, 5 minute walk to the centre of town.

    The location of the hotel/bar is perfect, you are across the street from a mall, and train station. The room is basic, but cozy. We were able to attach our fire stick to watch tv in the evening which was a bonus.

    Fantastic place right above the sport bar. You can get your pint in just less that hundred steps from your bed

    I especially like the location. The beds are comfortable and the facilities are very clean. This is the fifth time I've been to Killkeny and stayed in the same place.

    The location was very convenient and the parking nearby was a plus . As a suggestion - a little bar fridge and hooks on the bathroom door for towels.

    The room was kept in amazing condition and the staff were more than accommodating for all of our needs. Can’t thank them enough for helping out with extra facilities such as fridge for medication etc.
