Top Kilkenny Hotel Reviews
Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel
"Everything was perfect! Excellent location to Kilkenny castle, great pubs and places to eat."
Langtons Hotel Kilkenny
"Perfect location. Rooms were clean, unique and well decorated. The free onsite parking was great! Everyone loved the breakfast. Our room was right by the pub and the street so it was loud. The hotel staff did warn us ahead of time. So we had earplugs. All in all, weโd stay again!"
The Club House Hotel
"Excellent hotel in a great location to enjoy Kilkenny. Staff was friendly and offered great options for local dining. Only a 2 minute walk to Kilkenny Castle. Our room wasclean and adequately stocked. I would stay again."
Kilford Arms Hotel
"Nous รฉtions trois amis et avoir une chambre avec Kathy donc trรจs agrรฉable, de plus, la proximitรฉ des pommes et des endroits ร visiter รฉtaient tout prรจs de lโhรดtel"
Glendine Lodge
"The Hatch, which is part of this business and across the parking lot, is lovely and has a delicious breakfast offering. The rooms are clean and new. Mild disturbances with doors slamming shut, but overall a very affordable and nice stay."
SpringHill Hotel
"Room floor needs a wash."
Hotel Kilkenny
"Excellent"
Hoban Hotel Kilkenny
"Overall fine, however there is no air conditioning. I was told itโs a rarity in most Irish hotels - and even their homes. They did provide a fan on request. Bed somewhat hard for my curvy body. The included breakfast was great - full Irish breakfast if you want."
Rafter'S Gastropub
"Friendly place in a great location. Close to everything, but quiet when we needed it. We would stay here again."
