| Comments: This hostel has the bare basics comfortable beds, good kitchen, big rooms and the staffs are friendly. Unfortunately there are two many negatives at this hostel. The curtains were see through, heating barely worked, hot water lasted 1 minute, there was no storage or safes, they lock the common room most of the time, the TV, stereo, radio and computer all don't work. I wouldn't recommend this place it was very boring even though we had a group of 6 and we were so cold most of the time. |

| Comments: Althought the person who welcomed us was very kind, helpful and polite, the hostel was disgusting. The room was dirty and smelled, the toilet was OK but the atmosphere was freaky. There was harldy any heating in the room and there was no one after 16 h 00 in the hostel to help us out or anything. Never going back there!! |

| Comments: We had no heating in our room for the 1 night we stayed here. Although the staff tried to fix it once, it shut off again. It was absolutely freezing, and thus very uncomfortable, the whole night. |

| Comments: The rooms are cozy and secure, the staff friendly, there's a well stocked kitchen free to use. We had a great time here. It would be nice if there was a garbage can in the room, otherwise, absolutely no complaints! |

| Comments: This place was fine, suffered a little in my mind as it was so quiet (only 4 or 5 guests while I as there). Good shower though. No lockers or any storage space in rooms and reasonably far from bus/train station, especially considering how small the town is. |

| Comments: Very secure building (cameras are in place), although there are no lockers in the rooms and there's no luggage room (you can leave your bag in the hall by the office). Location is pretty good... Kilkenny isn't very big, anyway. The common areas are nice and the staff is friendly. I was happy with the breakfast (cold cereal/tea/coffee). I enjoyed my stay here... I have no complaints! Thanks! |

| Comments: The rooms were very cramped for space and offered no privacy. Also wasn\'t impressed with the shower recess. However the owner was very laid back and knowledgable. The dogs also very cute and friendly, but not a good place to stay if you\'re not comfortable around dogs. |
