Room was clean and the bar downstairs was nice. We also appreciated the air-conditioning and the private parking so we didn't have to try to find parking along the street. The location was the most convenient thing. Once we parked our car we didn't have to use it again until we left Kilkenny, everything was within walking distance and centrally located. I will say, I chose this hotel because it would have views of the castle, and it may, but we did not get one of those rooms so that was a bummer.

Close to everything, free parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Great breakfast.

We moved from another hotel because AC out and they simply responded with we can give you another fan. A dreaded move became the best hotel in our two week trip to the Emerald Isle!

Very outdated and the tub was dangerously high to get into.
We also expected it to be just outside of main tourist trap from the website, but it is a “town” hotel.

Hotel was very conveniently located in the town centre, we took the bus from the airport which stops a couple of minutes walk away. Unfortunately there was some renovation under way whilst we were there which was noisy at times. Breakfast was good with ample choice.

An excellent stay. The Pembroke Hotel is a lovely hotel offering very good value for money. Fantastic, central location.
The vast majority of the staff are excellent, if I was being picky I think the bar staff could either do with a more experienced manager, or more training.
We intended to have dinner in the restaurant last night and despite being given menus, the staff didn’t think to tell us that the kitchen closed at 8pm - we missed dinner which was disappointing! We were sat there having a glass of wine, intending to order when we were ready.

The rooms are big, well equipped and very comfortable.
I would like to have had an extra aid to get out of the shower which is over a bath. I had to hold on to the towel rail for safety - I don’t think it is intended for that purpose.

We would definitely return to The Pembroke.

Great location but unremarkable, completely lacking in character - stark difference from everywhere else we stayed on our 10 day trip around Ireland. On top of that, 1 of the 2 lifts was down for maintenance forcing very long queues to get up to your rooms. All in all pembroke was a disappointment and I think you can find better

2nd time staying here, rebooked as handy city centre location with parking. We booked the superior king over classic room this time & it was very spacious & larger super king bed. Room looks worn though furniture dated very minimalist & needs a update blank walls without any personal touch. Window lock faulty & bed large but very hard but no pillow top. We also paid extra for breakfast which is good value but limited veggie/health conscious options & could do with more planning out eg a choose what you want hot egg option. Staff overall very polite & helpful. Will definitely consider staying again but just not quite 4 stars in experience.

I think your room type can really decide how your stay was here- we upgraded to the castle view suite and were obsessed with our room. Other parties staying on lower floors enjoyed the hotel but the experience was very different. For the castle view suite, you have a stunning view of the castle and a lot of modern touches, like a heated towel rack, rain shower and tub with bath salts, lights that can automatically turn to night mode or open your blinds, and some free alcohol in your fridge. The beds were super comfy and the air con worked well. Front desk staff was friendly and check in and check out was simple. They have a small parking lot out back which was free but tight. Breakfast onsite was spectacular- from the free items you get in the beginning, to the coffee, everything was great. We did have one cocktail at the lounge and they had a great selection, including drinks with fresh mint. Did not use the spa but prices seemed fair. Would definitely recommend staying here, especially in the castle view suite.
