Kilkenny hotels near Kilkenny Castle

Pros: Lucy at the front desk was fabulous ... very helpful. The castle is right behind the hotel and there were several pubs with live music, some of which very traditional. The breakfast was excellent as well.

Cons: Atmosphere/ ambiance nil The whole appearance of the hotel , foyer, bar , restaurants corridors room all depressing and utilitarian . Piped music awful

Pros: Great breakfast

Pros: I was unwell when I arrived but got a boost from the very kind staff! Oyster bar oysters were the best I’ve ever had.

Cons: It’s a beautiful old hotel and the plumbing pipes do grumble.

Pros: The rooms were big and very clean. The bed very comfortable. Excellent breakfast and the staff were super friendly and helpful - truly went the extra mile. Great location as well!

Cons: Hard to find anything... maybe that there is no hook or towel rack by sink.. but not a.big deal...

Pros: Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Great location,well-appointed room,and a great staff. Daily breakfast was delicious. We stayed in a castle view room and the upgrade was truly worth it (king-sized bed, great view). We loved our experience!

Cons: We loved our stay and would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to visit Kilkenny.

Pros: Bed was comfy, bathroom was clean.

Cons: Alarm going off intermitently all morning from 7am on our first morning there. Which was the morning after a friend's wedding so not ideal. I politely complained to reception and they just said that they were undergoing construction and the dust kept triggering the alarm and that they were sorry. The very least you expect from a hotel at €150 per night is a night's sleep on a rare night away. It was very frustrating. The lifts were also out of order because of the construction. No communication from management or any kind of consellation food/drink voucher as an apology. I thought I would mention it again at check out when we were paying for the extras we had eaten in the room. The staff behind the counter said "yeh, we weren't working, but I believe it was awful. All the staff that were working said it was really bad" I agreed that it was really bad, especially if you're paying for the privilege of staying there. Nothing registered and they duly took payment off my card for them room extras. They had so many opportunities to address it in-person but nothing. They're in the business of hospitality so I don't understand it. There are lots of lovely hotels in Kilkenny, I'll be staying elsewhere if I'm there again.

Pros: Everything was fab. There was some noise from a wedding downstairs which is only to be expected on a Friday night. The staff couldn't have been more apologetic and we were thrilled that we were given late checkout to make up for the slight disturbance. I'm a very light sleeper. I feel the noise could've been louder at another hotel as Kilkenny is known for big weddings. Thank you so much for a lovely stay. I requested a balcony room which was granted to me. Fantastic view. Lovely room, huge, spacious and warm. One suggestion? Put a HDMI cable with the TV so we could hook a laptop up to it. Staff are an absolute credit to the hotel, from the breakfast staff, to reception, to the managers, so polite, genuinely friendly and enthusiastic. Give them all a raise. Thanks again for the second stay of many

Cons: I had snoring people in my room. But that is not the Hostels fault.

Pros: The location was top notch, bang in the middle of Parliment Street in Kilkenny town centre you are surrounded by bars, shops and in general just Kilkenny as a whole. I would definitely say that the location is easily one of the best things going about this Hostel.

Cons: To be honest there's nothing really I can put here, I only stayed for one night so didn't get to know the place all too well. I literally dropped my bag and left for the evening. The place seemed perfectly fine by any standard I hold a Hostel to.

Pros: Location is good and considering the price it is definitely good value for money especially if you arent planning on staying in the room for very long.

Cons: Press the tabs just to wash my face

Pros: The entire hostel was very homely and snug; we loved the old-fashioned look/feel of the house and the friendly staff. The room was spacious and the water pressure was great!
