Liked: Location
Liked: 1. Good location. No doubt about that. 2. The bed was nice (clean and comfortable). 3. The bathroom was good but the shower is rather small. 4. Hot water in the shower was good and quick to become comfortable.
Disliked: 1. The key system is not acceptable. I could open my colleague room with my key and my colleague could open my door with her key. Huge security fail. 2. Bad room service. I stayed for 7 nights and only after the first night was the room cleaned and the bed prepared. 3. The hotel was rather expensive compare to faulty key system and bad room service.
Serious key-security issues, room dirty. Accidentally had masterkeys. Felt unsafe. Concerns ignored
Disliked: I stayed 7 nights for work. My expectations were according to earlier reviews, there is: might need some cleaning, sometimes loud but in general should be OK. After 5 nights stay we found out, after my coworker locked himself out of his room early in the morning and I had to call someone (who resolved the problem in 10 minutes time) - that the key for my room also worked on my colleagues room - and his key could open my room. To be clear: our rooms were 2 separate bookings. I called and I was told they must have made a housekeeping master keys for both of us by accident. I asked how many guests had keys to my room - and I was told they would get back to me with an update. After that they completely ignored my messages and questions - no one came to check on us - no apologies - we never met anyone - and we held on to the master keys rest of stay! Nobody switched keys with us. I did not feel safe and needless to say: I couldn't sleep for the last days and I was in Kilkenny for work. Room was dirty when I got there, the toilet seat had been wiped but toilet clearly hadn't been cleaned for some time. Deep cleaning the room and bathroom was long overdue. Breadcrumbs and stick on the nightstands. There was a big, sticky stain on the carpet, and a towel from a previous guest on the radiator. There was no wardrobe or anything to hang up my coat and the mirror is both high up and in a corner/nook so it was difficult for me to see. For the 7 days I was there, housekeeping visited once to empty the trash. Wifi didn't work. I was willing to overlook all these things since the bed-sheets were clean and really I was only there to sleep between long workdays, I just put a clean towel over the sticky parts of the carpet and so on. But questionable keys to my room is not something that can be overlooked and left me sleepless the last 2 days. All my questions ignored and a promised update never came.
