Our Customer stayed here in August 2011
I had booked just one night in Kilkenny and chose Aspect Hotel because of the price, essentially. I was more than pleasantly surprised with what I would consider a 'little gem' of a hotel. On check in the staff were pleasant, friendly, helpful. He took my request not to be on the ground floor and gave me a lovely room on the first floor.
The room was good sized, very clean, fully equipped, nice sized towels, lovely television, good sized bathroom.
I had a meal in the bar/lounge area. The waitress - I wished I got her name - was superb. She even suggested that I should get my order in before the large group that had arrived - which advice I followed. The food was very good. As I was eating, however, I was surrounded by what appeared to be another coach tour of Italians and they literally sat and stood around, above, behind and talked across, over and in front of me. It was very uncomfortable. However, this waitress, noticed, suggested that I might like to move, assisted me with same and ensured that I had been offered another drink, etc. She is a huge asset to the hotel, because I was becoming annoyed.
Breakfast was excellent, full range of everything one could wish, hot and tasty. Newspapers available at reception. I checked out about 11:30, but nobody rushed me. I would certainly stay again and recommend anybody to do so.
If I were to find a negative, it would be that its location is quite a ways from the centre of Kilkenny, a little isolated from any other restaurants, bars etc, and took a little navigation to find. However, nothing that the hotel didn't meet with courtesy and friendliness.
