Templeshannon Vacations from $1,158

Friendly staff, incredibly convenient location to the Kilkenny Castle, restaurant was good. Only thing my wife and I disliked was the bathroom door having those frosted panels that let light through so if anyone used the bathroom in the middle of the night it lit the whole room up.

This is an old building that was converted into a hotel in 2000. While other travelers contributed multiple positive reviews, I was disappointed at the antiquated bathrooms, cleanliness, and comfort considering the cost. The bathroom door, floor, and shower were dirty; the tub bathmat was rolled-up and placed in the shower soap dish; the shower curtain was filthy; the tub showed signs of water damage; the plumbing was weak and lacked siphon power. The carpet was dingy and wrinkled. From the second floor, we could hear people at night on the street. The bed was comfortable. The staff were pleasant. The hotel’s pub was very nice; great cocktails. The continental and hot-to-order breakfast in the restaurant was good.
