Our stay at The Hoban Hotel was very comfortable. The bed was just right, and the shower was superb! I would recommend to the hotel that they install stronger fans to reduce the humidity in the bathroom, and to discourage smokers from smoking right outside the building (our window was open and someone at the front entrance sent smoke right up into our room). The staff were very friendly and we appreciated the excellent Continental breakfast options.

If you're in Kilkenny, this is the hotel to stay a

The staff at the hotel, no matter the job they have, are the best! Such amazing and friendly service. They were very informative on the area on things to do and places to eat. They were very helpful in lining up any transportation needs. I've traveled for years and there haven't been many hotels that could match their level of friendliness and service

Very adequate but in kind of a weird location - industrial park out of town. Not too far but nothing around the hotel. It does have it’s own restaurant. We were sick so we didn’t try the restaurant.

Wouldn’t Stay here Again

Difficult to find even with a GPS. Too far from town. Room very hot, fan didn’t work. Ground floor , diesel vehicle outside window noisy and nauseous smell. Talking loud in the middle of the night. Interrupting our sleep. Restaurant and bar adequate. Staff friendly and did try to help.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Biggest disappointment is there is no air conditioning and that would have been ok if the property description listed that. For the price the room was tiny, bathroom tiny and roof very stuffy- no fan in bathroom so after a shower the entire room was stuffy and window only opens a crack which I understand is code. Overall the our least favorite stay in Ireland.

Family stay

On arrival at reception the staff isssued the incorrect room compared to what I paid and booked. Ot took 3 different trips back and forth to rooms until they eventually got it right. There was a language barrier as English is not their first language. The room has no good AC so thr bathroom steams up and room is stuffy and hot. There was no residence bar. Breakfast was advertised to finish at 1030 however there was little food by 0930 and not replaced. The hotel is located in an industrial area and you need a car or taxi to take you to the city unless you like walking in the rain.

This hotel was fine, but a ways outside of town and located next to a shopping mall. Set up for business conventions. But the room was spacious, bed comfortable and a good shower. A bit noisy but our room was right above the front door.

We arrived at the Hoban Hotel in Kilkenny on 9/6/2025 and found a real mess. For starters, the Hoban exteriors looked very run down and old. Like a fallout zone on the side of a busy highway. We examined the room and found old and dated furnishings and few of these. The box frame for the bed had smeared with something brown and gross and the room had a rank odor that drove the Mrs. Out into the hall. Upon further, examination, we realized there was no AC and the windows were cracked open for ventilation. So now I had a stinky, gross, unsafe road noise filled room! Went to front desk. The initial response from the hotel desk clerk was no refund due to it being less than 48 hrs before deadline. They offered us another ground floor room. Mostly same condtions. Finally got them to refund the price minus a fee and told us that we had to get the money back from Expedia because we paid Expedia.
