The Pembroke Hotel is located within a very short walk of many of the sights. The Kilkenny Castle is just around the corner, less than a 5-minute walk. The Medieval Mile Museum is less than a 5-minute walk from the hotel. St. Canice’s Cathedral is also within walking distance.
Breakfast is delicious and plentiful. You start off with croissants, banana bread, and jam, along with a pot of tea and/or coffee. You order your entree from the menu. I had waffles, fried egg & American style bacon, which was quite good. The wait staff are attentive.
The design of our room was clever. The bedroom and sitting area can be closed off from the bathroom and wardrobe area by an interior glass-pane door. This allowed me to shower and dress without disturbing my traveling companion, who got up later.
The bathroom had a shower stall with a rainfall shower head. Everything was clean.
There is on-site parking at the back of the hotel. The procedure is to “set down” in front of the hotel. A team member will open the gate next to the hotel and direct you to the parking area.
