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.
So disappointed with this hotel. It was a very poor 2 star at most. Absolutely freezing with no heat. The bed was old, lumpy, squeaky + very uncomfortable. It was overpriced. Electricity wires from 2 lamps tied together with tape - a complete fire hazzard. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. Will never return but “hotels” like this give tourism Ireland a very bad name.
Beautiful room and spacious. Plenty of parking on site and house is gorgeous. A couple of brief interactions with the owner who was lovely and was kind enough to let us into our room early. Comfortable bed and hot shower. Cold continental breakfast served in a picnic basket to your room. Short 10 minute walk into city centre. Would stay again if given the opportunity.
It is two star so was not expecting the Ritz - staff was lovely, they have a residence bar. Breakfast was good, room was clean. Good overall experience for just staying one night in Kilkenny, would probably choose a different hotel if staying longer than this. Location excellent, right in the city centre - few minutes walk from all bars and restaurants.
Perfect location in the city centre, within a short walking distance of all attractions. Extensive free parking and decent facilities. Very efficient and helpful reception. Rooms are of a decent size and well furnished, although starting to become a little dated.
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.
Hotel had great facilities, staff were excellent and rooms were very comfortable. It was is a good location (although 10 minute taxi ride to city centre) and would definitely stay again. Pool facilities were lovely.
This is definitelya good place to stay. With an amazing breakfast and heartwarming crew. Our room had plenty space and all of the comfort we needed. You can easily reach the city centre up in a few minutes of walk.
Beautiful hotel and accommodations. Large spacious rooms and baths. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Our last few nights in Ireland and a wonderful way to end our trip.
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!
