Access to City Center Kilkenny was very easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the pillows could have been better. The fan in the bathroom had no shut off and was a bit noisy. The room was a bit small but big enough for the two of us.

More for Corporate Gatherings

This hotel is more for a corporate gathering than a family gathering. It was clean and the front desk person was extremely friendly. However, the bar was loud and service wa not the best. There was a private event on the top floor that wasn’t marked private and loud music played into the early morning hours.

A very good hotel in Kilkenny. This was our first time in Kilkenny and we wanted a nice place to stay hotel Kilkenny did not disappoint 👌 although its a bit of a walk into the centre of town for seeing around the sites the weather was good and we enjoyed the walk ☀️ taxis are also plentiful if you require one. We booked a room with breakfast and we paid a charge to have it delivered to the room. The food was very good so all round a good experience 😃

Kilkenny Hotel is a great hotel. Our room was very nice and quite spacious. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not a criticism but just a comment, the gentleman that checked us in was very professional and efficient but not friendly. He’s the only person not to have a welcoming smile and kind words.

Gorgeous hotel. Exceptional service

We got a free upgrade on our room which was a Fantastic start to our stay. They also left a beautiful happy birthday note for my husband and chocolates. Such a thoughtful gesture. The male bar staff were in particular so polite and genuinely helpful. They gave me a large bottle of table water to bring to my room complimentary when I asked if I could buy a bottle of water. Our room was huge with a balcony. We used the jacuzzi, sauna and steam room and tropical shower with the LED lights. So cool! We had a fantastic stay and would not hesitate to recommend this super friendly hotel.
