Great location and very clean. Easy check in. The host was really kind and as our room was recently empty, let us leave our luggage there. Cozy bedroom and comfy bed.

I couldn't recommend this property enough. Staff were very friendly at check-in and even took us around the apartment to show us where everything was. The apartment itself is excellent, very clean and in a brilliant location right in the middle of Kilkenny. Everyone in the party loved it and we all agreed that if we're in Kilkenny again we'll be checking availability here first.

We loved our stay at Hemma Grove - right from the start the hosts were lovely. It's tucked away and peaceful but an easy drive in to Kilkenny. The rooms were so comfy and roomy, beautifully designed and the bathroom is stunning! The hosts have 2 lovely dogs who were great fun and a highlight of the trip for sure. So much information and recommendations were provided we had no problem planning our activities. Also had a wonderful walk around the grounds.

The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast and dinner were really good also. It is a very family oriented hotel and as such was really busy with families and children. It did not bother us as we were away for a friends catch up but it may be off putting for a romantic break away!!

Really great hotel for families. Staff are so helpful and kind with the children. Had a really lovely stay and the kids had a ball. Great that the hotel has a family room with amenities to sterilise bottles etc, really helpful when travelling with a baby. Lovely pool, great outdoor area for kids. Little things like free face painting and free cookies and milk at night for kids, and a live musician in the evenings outside the bar really add to the hotel as a family friendly destination.

Excellent hotel and facilities, brilliant for families as it has a pool and is the centre of town. there is lots to explore for families , and the hotel is just off the main street. the staff were amazing (especially Christine and Josephine) . The room was huge with bunk beds for the kids (room 102) I would highly recommend the Ormonde as a base for a family wanting to explore all Kilkenny has to offer.
