AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews

Across reviews, The Hoban Hotel Kilkenny stands out for welcoming staff, comfortable beds, and good food, while its edge-of-town setting suits drivers with parking but means a 25-30 minute walk or short taxi to central sights.

Great hotel, efficient check-in. Food was nice in the restaurant for evening dinner with friendly staff (Elaine). Clean, spacious rooms, no road noise.

We were traveling through and it was a great place to stop and then look back over towards Cashel. Enjoyed the hotel had a nice little bar and the food looked great we didn't eat there but I did observe it all being eaten and nice Buffet at a good price with full Irish Breakfast and other choices.

Staff were amazingly warm and friendly. But although the room seems recently updated with nice furniture the room was dusty-thick dust. Coffee machine was dirty and the room had a lingering stale odor. Bathroom was clean and bed was comfortable so I did not make a complaint about the items listed. I just think it’s worth mentioning for future guests to consider.
