Top hotels in Smithsland
The Hoban Hotel Killkenny
We were provided an early check-in and that’s 5 stars rate for me. The room is big enough and the bathroom is clean, though extra coffee pods would be perfect. Hotel staff are great and courteous.

Pembroke Hotel
Hotel and staff were very nice. They have an issue with their tubs. They are too tall and do not have grab rails to get out and a high probability for falling
