Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Zuni Restaurant & Boutique Hotel enjoys a great location in the heart of Kilkenny, making it easy to explore the city center and its attractions on foot. Guests consistently praise the onsite Zuni restaurant, especially for dinner, and many find the full Irish breakfast very satisfying. The rooms are generally cosy and clean, featuring modern bathrooms, although a few guests have noted minor issues such as wear and tear in some rooms. having parking directly behind the hotel is considered a real luxury, particularly given the central location.

The location was central, convenient for accessing nearby attractions.

The hotel location offered easy access to nearby cafes and bars. The castle was also within easy walking distance. The room was quite nice, and the check-in process was simple.
The room was rather warm, and the hotel lacks AC. My room was near the kitchen vent. It was noisy and smelly with the window open to allow airflow.
