Langtons Hotel Kilkenny

"Beautiful hotel & restaurant within walking distance to sights, shops, restaurants and pubs. Appreciated the free on-site parking behind the hotel, although it was hard to find and a bit of a walk to the hotel with luggage. We rented the deluxe double room - it was exceptional and huge, with a king bed, large living area with sofa and dining table, kitchenette area and a nice bathroom. It was on the top floor (no elevator), but the stairs were doable with luggage. AC worked well. The included breakfast was lovely with both continental and made to order choices. Overall, a fantastic stay!!"
