The room was a standard room very clean and more than met our needs. The location of the hotel was excellent. The staff were so good and efficient. We were there on a very busy night and they met all of our requests with a smile and a nice word. The staff were just excellent and helped make our stay memorable.

Everything was 100%. Staff were excellent and nothing was any bother. We were a large group and they accommodated us for lunch and breakfast all together.

Craic Larger than Medieval Life
Spirited Kilkenny was Ireland’s capital in the Middle Ages and although many monuments remain from back then, it’s now best known for the 'craic'. Kilkenny cream ale flows in pubs forming part of its legendary nightlife and tours of Smithwick’s showcase Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, on grounds containing the St Francis Abbey ruins.
Kilkenny has the most medieval churches in Ireland. Dating to the 13th-century are the Black Abbey and St Canice’s Cathedral, next to the Round Tower - the only remains of a 9th-century monastery founded by the saint.
Medieval streets, inns and wall remnants still stand, but the most impressive attraction is Kilkenny Castle, in large gardens by the River Nore. The 3-turreted fortress was a former home of the once powerful Butler family.
The Parade leads from here past high street shops to The Tholsel – the porticoed town hall. The Elizabethan merchants’ residence Rothe House is in a similar style. Wandering the colourful streets you can’t fail to notice buildings named after cats, a reference to the residents’ dogged determination. Local hurling team The Cats play at Nowlan Park, and the city hosts the annual Cat Laughs comedy festival, amongst others.
Booking.com’s Kilkenny accommodation includes hotels with spas and pools, and city centre guest houses near the train station.
The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old...
The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old is largely intact and well worth a visit even if you think you are not a 'history person'. Guided tour is worthwhile. Also visit the artists workshops in the stables complex opposite as well as adjacent park and gardens.
After the castle go to the related St. Canice's Cathedral. The streets between still have a historic character with old buildings and shop fronts and plenty of places to shop, eat and drink with a predominance of independent traders. Kilkenny is compact and easy to walk round but people with mobility difficulties should check as some parts are steep or served by steps. Kilkenny is close to the main motorway network and would make a good touring base.

We visited for a boys weekend away, 9 years after our last visit and it did not disappoint. So many great independent bars to work your way through, all in close proximity, most with an authentic Iriah feel to them. As usual, the Irish welcome is excellent with live music on tap too. Great place for a boozy weekend.

I loved this mediaeval city .bursting with history and street art , culture, and so many unique and quirky shops. I also love learning about history and loved how many different places I could see and learn about here. The highlights were the castle tour and the shennagins walking tour .

An old medieval town that is not overly touristed.
An old medieval town that is not overly touristed. Lots of lively pubs with friendly local people. I enjoy late night walks and this city seemed completely safe to enjoy at all hours. If you have a car the Rock of Cashel is about an hour away and well worth the trip.
Room was larger than expected. Location was fantastic right within walking distance of pubs, restaurants, shops etc.
Staff was helpful, bar staff were new and a little green but other than that all was well. Restaurant did not have much of a menu and food was okay would not be my first choice with the other options available in town.
Parking was a challenge the lot is behind a locked gate right next to the hotel and hard to spot if you are not familiar with the area.
Hotel is a great location , 15 minute walk from city centre. Its handy with the pool & Gym facilities on site.
Staff very helpful at pool reception.
Reception staff very helpful when I needed to adjust booking over the phone.
Restaurant staff fairly prompt. They forget the small details when setting tables . I.E refilling sugars/butters/milk/spoons...
Over all we had a great experience would recommend people to stay.
Although the room was smallish, this was thee only hotel that provided us with washcloths in the whole of Ireland. The staff was friendly and the Bar was one of my in hotel favorites. It was a short walk to the sites but if they ever open The Smithwick Brewery back up, it will be prime real estate.
Restful place to be thanks to convenient parking, delicious dinner and good service in the pub. The desk staff was gracious and informative. Sweet breakfast and lunch cafe. Place is an easy 20 minute walk from Kilkenny castle and city centre.
The property was very clean. Equipped with everything we required.
It was very quiet and also a close car drive to the city centre and also to Kells. Great location for tourists.
Pat the property owner was very kind and helpful.
Location was perfect, room was very nice and comfortable, it's a beautiful hotel overlooking the Kilkenny Castle, the staff was very nice, parking was easy and good and breakfast was excellent, one of the best we had in Ireland.
The hotel is a 25 minute walk into the city centre so it's not so bad on a dry day. Located outside of a bus stop that also brings you to the city. In the evenings it runs every hour. Staff were friendly. Bar is cute & cosy.
Its a functional hotel rather than a genuine tourist hotel but its clean, well appointed, staff were helpful and the breakfast was good. Its also just off the city centre and only a short walk to the main street.
Check in was easy, property was very clean and staff were very helpful. Rooms were also very modern.
Perfect location, close to the bus stop which you use to and from Dublin airport and in the city centre.
We liked the use of the leisure facilities, the seating area at reception and the duty manager at breakfast was great. It was right in the city Centre, perfect location and nothing was too much effort.
Staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. I chose the hotel for its location and car parking facilities as I wanted to be in the City Centre.
Room nice, breakfast decent but have had better at other 4 star hotels. Room service excellent. Best hotel we've stayed in so far in Kilkenny City Centre.
