9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,002 reviews)
Spent two night at the Pembroke which is very conveniently located and walkable to the sites of Kilkenny.
Parking and drop off was not as simple as we would have liked because the road is very busy with limited access to unloading, while the parking lot is a five minute walk away around a couple of corners and up a small hill.
Bed was comfortable and the shower pressure was fantastic. TV was oddly mounted on a fixed mount that offered a 45* view when sitting on the bed. Live TV did not work during our stay and the toilet seat was hanging on by a single bolt.
The restaurant was good, offering several good options for an evening meal while the included breakfast was excellent - try the waffles and bacon!
Staff were efficient and friendly throughout our short stay.
