    Nuala, From Cabra, Ireland (via Airbnb)

  • The rooms are obviously recently furnished to a high standard, with all the modern conveniences, TV, wifi, coffee making facilities etc... Tastefully decorated with comfortable beds. Location is really central with loads of bars and restaurants around. Park the car and leave it for the weekend. House keeping staff were very friendly as was the lady in the bar that checked us into our room.

  • Sehr sauberes, sehr geräumiges Zimmer. Freundliche Aufnahme. 2 Minuten von der Bushaltestelle der Überlandbusse. Zentrumsnah. Kein Frühstück möglich, es gibt jedoch in der Gegend genug Möglichkeiten. Bei Veranstaltungen im Pub, der direkt darunter ist, kann es abends recht laut sein.

  • Great place. We had three single beds in a recently done up room. They're not above the bar, but close by, so don't need to worry about noise.

  • We couldn't find a better host. Your accommodation was amazing and more than we expected. Thanks also for the help you gave us for baby's meal. Good luck for the future, we'll recommend your place to whomever we'll visit Kilkenny.

  • JB's was the best place we have stayed at in Ireland! Clean, newly renovated, comfortable double bed, centrally located, and very easy communication with Jim and the bar staff. The shower was HUGE compared to all of the other showers we've had. You can turn around in it! Water pressure was great, and the water was hot. Parking down the road was as cheap as you can dream of, €2 for a 24 Hr period and free overnight till 8am. The bar next door, JB's, was lively and had traditional Irish music playing. Their "kitchen sessions" were beautiful, and the whiskey selection was great. Highly recommend this place!
