The reason I gave bathroom a low rate is because there’s no electricity in there so a woman couldn’t possibly do their hair and it was very frustrating. All overseas bathrooms were like that and I simply do not understand.

Loved the location- right near center of city - walking distance of everything you need to see . Our room was a family room even though it was just my daughter and I - lovely seating area with windows that open to let in fresh air . We got room service for dinner as well as breakfast delivered- all done very well

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.
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.
The hotel is in the city centre. The gardens are fab and lead through an arts centre to the castle. It is a really beautiful hotel, filled with so much history! And the sunken bath is lovely in room 53! It was the perfect girlie getaway location!
Very nice facility in the middle of the town. A short walk to almost everything. Breakfast was about the same as all breakfasts we had. The hotel staff were really nice and helpful. The restaurant was expensive and not very good food.
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.
Warm welcome on arrival . Very clean room with good ventilation. Staff were very helpful. Breakfast was good and plentiful . Only 20 minute walk to city centre . Would recommend this hotel for a quiet break
The room was very nicely decorated. Bed extremely comfortable. Very close to the city centre. Joanna was so helpful and answered any questions I had prior to my stay. Would recommend to family and friends.
Friendly host, lovely breakfast basket (COVID restrictions in place when visited). Short walk to the castle (you can get in through the park, so it's shorter than it looks) and town centre.
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.
Great location, ideal for the city centre bars, restaurants and attractions, and with private parking. Amiable hosts, a nice room and a good breakfast.
