Really central location, just around the corner from the Castle. Friendly host and staff. Nice room with small desk, wifi and TV. Breakfast was great - and if you are working and need to leave early (as I did one morning), you can help yourself to cereal and fruit. Also has a parking area - great for such a central... More

The title says it all. The location is by far the best thing about this place. It's perfect. The rooms are terrible though. ..weird smell with tiny beds. There was a (tiny) tv in the corner but it didn't work. The staff were nice and the breakfast wad fine but the rooms were a big let down - 30 a... More

O'Malley's has a great location...in the village, close to castle and pubs. Hosts were very helpful. Did not provide a cooked breakfast as advertised and the beds were small for two people making for a rough night's sleep. Cleanliness was OK.

As some of the earlier reviews mentioned the location is excellent, but it stops there. We will never stay there again. There are other places that are just as close. Rooms were tiny, furniture was sparse and the room was not clean. Bedding was worn with holes in sheets. Breakfast was okay, and the hosts were very helpful in recommending... More

I approached my stay at this place with a bit of trepidation, due to the mixed reviews I'd read here. I found it to be a very good choice for myself. Paul, the host, is a very nice, helpful man. Contrary to what I've read in some other reviews, I found his female assistant to be quietly helpful and pleasant... More

Booked because of recommendation in Lonely Planet, and close to Kilkenny center, but very disappointed in room. No ambience, reminded me of a college dorm room. Windows dirty, no chair. Asked for ice, none available. At least staff nice, brought up bench/table.

We stayed in the B&B in May this year and I have been compelled to write this review to thank Paul (the host) for his excellent customer service. I couldn't believe this man alone (most of the time) ran this B&B to the standard that he did!! It's location is conveniently located in the centre of Kilkenny, within walking distance... More
