“Give it a miss!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2010

No heating and no hot water in our room on arrival. Dust/cobwebs in room and bathroom, carpet not vacuumed, towels dingy/linen not much better; no blind on bathroom window, dirty soap dish; kettle, courtesy tray & hairdrier all grubby. Breakfast poorly cooked and on one occasion served with 2 hairs - bacon inedible (probably from day before); diningroom had crumbs/cereal on floor for our 5 day stay. In dire need of some TLC - this could be a good business. Reasonably priced for Kilkenny but hygiene standards should not suffer because of this. On the plus side a friendly enough landlady whose feelings we really should not have spared. We booked for a family event and under normal circumstances would have moved out.Cleanliness is not next to godliness in this establishment!! Would not recommend to anyone :(

“Dangerously unhygenic”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 March 2010

We found 6 hairs in the breakfast! The hygine standards were deplorable; musty smell all over, pubic hairs in the shower, room cold, breakfast dishes filthy, scum and hard food at bottom of glasses etc.

“Serves it purpose”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2009

the Rodini Town House is a little bit too far outside the city of Kilkenny--requiring you to drive in to visit the city. There are many bed and breakfasts in the city, so consider your needs when booking. We did appreciate the ease we had in leaving the bed and breakfast due to its proximity to the ring road--much easier than going through town--which is crazy!

Mary was very kind and had a good breakfast for us. The rooms and furnishings are on the older side of things and the bathroom was VERY SMALL.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2008

I stayed one night here with my girlfriend, and this was best B&B i visited in Ireland , turning around in 1 week in Dublin , Wicklow, Wexford and Kilkenny; the place is located 10 minutes walking to Kilkenny Castle, you can sleep in this very relaxing place, The breakfast is BEAUTIFUL!
when i returned in Italy, I said to all my friends: VISIT IRELAND, KILKENNY CASTLE and STAY AT RODINI's B&B

“Good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2008

We enjoyed our stay for one night at Rodini B&B. Mary was very accomodating, arranging alternative plans for us to fetch the key as she wasn't going to be there when we arrived.

The room was large and bathroom had bath and shower. The B&B is easy to find and is within walking distance of Kilkenny town.

  • Liked — The large room
  • Disliked — The breakfast - it was average compared to some of the breakfasts we had
