Warm welcome from staff, big comfortable room and bed, great breakfast and lunch. It's a popular hotel and busy, and we were assisted very quickly each time we had a request. When we came back to the hotel, one night there was a chorale group singing in the restaurant. Very nice place to stay in Kilkenny and lots of parking. It was close to good shops and parking in town. We went on the Shenanigans walking tour of Kilkenny and parked all day at the Market Yard car park by Dunnes store which as a department store and grocery store.

FAQs about hotels in Kilkenny

Craic Larger Than Medieval Life

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.

Kilkenny was a fun town to visit. Enjoyed the castle and the church tours. Also laughed a lot about the very witty signs in shop windows. We had a meal and listened to live music at Matt the Millers which was a fun experience.

Walking throughout the downtown area during the late evening and early morning of our visit was lovely. The people we met and the places we visited were quite impressive. Our two dining experiences at Left Bank and Cafe La Coco left us with some great memories of delicious eats, fantastic coffee, and kind staff. Thank you!

The hotel provided everything we wanted. The rooms were so nicely decorated, very different from the standard hotel room. Loved the attention to detail! The staff was very friendly, parking is included and the city centre is only a 25 min walk away. We had such a great time using the hotel as our base and doing trips from here. Can really recommend this place!

Big room with very comfortable beds, plenty of room for 1 adult and 2 children. Beautiful breakfast which was included in price. We ate in the restaurant in the evening and both the service and food was excellent. Pool facilities were great for children. The hotel is a little out of the city centre which suited us fine.
