My stay at Langton's was for three nights as a solo traveller. I had a wedding in the hotel which I'd been hired to photograph.
Upon arrival, the parking was easy to find and the staff were incredibly friendly at check-in.
The room (one of the garden view suites) was clean, well furnished and very comfortable for the entirety of my stay.
The location of the hotel is right in the centre of Kilkenny with all the main shops, cafes, restaurants and tourist attractions within a 10-15 minutes easy walk.
The bar and restaurant were both brilliant and every single staff member I met was incredibly friendly.
I'd highly recommend Langton's to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in the centre of Kilkenny.
With Medieval Kilkenny as a backdrop, this 18th century hotel is in a cultural and artistic hot spot. The main shopping area is only 2 minutes away.

The food was good and very well prepared and cooked but the waitress service for breakfast was chaos , think they need some training on time management. Not only ourselves but many guests were left hanging for even after sat for a beverage or our order taken.

This was our first stop in Ireland. Kilkenny is a great place, and the hotel is within walking distance to everything. Kilkenny Castle was just around the corner. We soon found out that we had brought the wrong kind of adaptor -- the desk was able to find us one to use and let us keep it for the rest of our trip. They also let us keep our car in the parking area after checkout time to tour the city. Breakfast was great.

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 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.
The location is excellent as is not 500 meters far from city centre and most important attractions in Kilkenny as Kilkenny Castle, Medieval Museum, Pubs and Restaurants. Additional, The Owner Angela is the best and lovely to cross some tales with her, she is a truly writer with amazing histories to tell, you can get her books in the hotel and she lovely can sign it for you. She told us that her first book "not forgotten" could be transferred to a movie. Good luck Angela!
Great Location in the City Centre of Kilkenny , Discounted car parking right opposite the hotel , with Kilkenny Castle just past the end of the street. Room was of good size and very clean. What little interaction i had with the staff in the hotel was pleasant , Staff at the ajoining gym / Swimming Pool very pleasant and helpful.
Staff very friendly including the man brendan at the reception he was very helpful nice spot for peace free WiFi and parking rooms were comfortable it's only a 10 minute walk to the city centre or 8 euro in a taxi myself and my partner had a lovely experience and we highly recommended here as its nice a cosy to get away
The Club House Hotel is a great spot for a stay in Kilkenny - central, walkable, old hotel with friendly staff and a lot of character. The room was larger than expected, clean and very comfortable. There was a brass band playing in the lounge the night I stayed, which added to the charm.
Breakfast was good! We can tell the management’s effort by keeping up the hotel. Small personal touches such as bottled water and cookies, and we are happy to have wash cloths as we rarely find them in any hotels in UK and Ireland. The beddings and towels are clean and smells clean.
We had dinner Friday night and Saturday Night. The food was amazing you could not fault it. Portion sizes were great value for money, even the kids portions were great for the price. The location of the hotel was perfect, you can walk to the city centre. We really enjoyed our stay.
Very clean, comfortable hotel just outside the city centre in a quiet location. Great for walkers who don’t mind a 20 minute stroll into town. The staff were very helpful in recommending places to eat and allowed us to leave our car parked and stored our bags even after check out.
The hotel is located smack in the city centre so altough it rained all weekend it was easy to get around with being soaked. The interior of the hotel was also lovely and the beds were quiet comfortable compared to some hotels we have stayed in.
Robert was extremely welcoming and friendly! Couldn't do enough for us. The beds were super comfortable and the facilities were great! We were only a short walk from the town centre and most of Kilkenny's major attractions.
The location was excellent for exploring Kilkenny on foot. The hotel was lovely and our room was very nice. The bed was very comfortable. Parking was easy as well. The breakfast was very tasty.
The hotel was beautiful. The staff was great. We loved the pub and outside seating. The location were perfect within walking distance to the Castle and everything!
