Hotel Kilkenny

Fantastic experience: Gr8 Hotel

Fantastic experience: Great find on the edge of Kilkenny, about 20 minutes walk to the town centre. Having arrived pretty early in the rain, we were delighted that the smiley receptionist managed to find us a room we could use immediately. Great room on the ground floor overlooking a nice gardens area. Well equipped, bright and spacious for a standard room. Good bathroom with big power shower. The nespresso machine and the bottled water are a nice touch. On site pool and facilities brilliant. Great breakfast cooked to order with buffet extras. All.staff encountered always happy to help. Great choice and would certainly choose to stay here again.

Positive experience: Overall we enjoyed our stay. We didn't realize the hotel was so far away from town, but if you have a car you can always drive to town.the rooms were nice and clean and the staff felt welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Ran the Kilkenny marathon yesterday. Parked at the hotel to have food after from a recommendation but we weren’t staying the night. We got soaked walking back from the run and decided to ask the leisure centre how much it would be to use their showers. They don’t do pay as you go but Kieran the manager let us use the facilities free of charge. It made our day. We went for lunch in the hotel after and the service and the food was unreal. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great service and excell5staff

Fantastic experience: Fabulous hotel food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and helpful would recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you for a lovely stay we really enjoyed it. Top class hospitality

Positive experience: Zentral gelegen. Sauna und Schwimmbad vorhanden.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic hotel

Fantastic experience: Lovely food

Fantastic experience: Chritmas party and overnight stay. Everything was great including staff, food was super and rooms clean and suitable .

Fantastic experience: Amazing Staff in the Bar. Lovely Christmas atmosphere there. Staff were so friendly always checking in on us! Thank you :)

Positive experience: Hotel rooms are quite dated, beds are VERY uncomfortable. The ceiling had a poorly patched hole and the bathroom had several broken tiles. The shower pressure was aggressive but at least the water got nice and hot. The room temperature could not be adjusted and was very cold. Good location, 15 mins from the castle and downtown pubs.

Positive experience: I was there for a conference which was very well organised. Food was lovely.

Fantastic experience: Excellent stayed 2 night fabulous staff lovely stay

Fantastic experience: 15 minute walk into the city centre. Staff were amazing, and so was the food.

Negative experience: 5 stars for food,,,staff service,,,,breakfast,,,,but let down by the accommodation, room 404. Big update needed for accommodation.

Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel with a fabulous pool. The food and service were excellent. My room was comfortable and spacious. The car park, even though large, can be very busy and fills up. The hotel is about 1 kilometre from the town centre so it's an easy walk for the average fit person. The bar is comfortable and bright with pleasant staff but if you are a Guinness drinker, you should cross the road to the Sceilp Inn pub for a decent pint.

Fantastic experience: Stayed here for a Bank Holiday weekend... Nice clean hotel with a great breakfast... Breakfast is not the normal buffet...the tables are actually waited which was nice. Nice pool and health centre. Plenty of parking also at hotel. About a 15 minute walk into centre of Kilkenny . Nice food in restaurant..was busy at Bank Holiday weekend which was to be expected. Recommended.

Fantastic experience: Great hotel. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. Specially in the bar. The food is excellent. The leisure centre is spotless and well maintained. The bedroom lacked sockets. The one that was there was in a very random place. Good distance from the bed. The only thing I found it was lacking was a kids club.

Fantastic experience: Very nice hotel,food very good ,i will have one objection i didn t get bath robe and slipers in room ,which i find normal for a 4stars hotel.

Fantastic experience: My Daughter just got married here,,and we,ve stayed in hotels both away and home in Ireland over many years. This is the best hotel I've ever stayed in,,the premises,,the rooms,,the food are all the best I've had anywhere, but the greatest thing about here is the staff..pure brilliant,,each and every one of them. No task too big. You have to check it out. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Even if it's just a meal and drink your after. 100%

Positive experience: Great weekend break. Close enough to city centre to walk. Food and bar was excellent. Great service from staff. Afif deserves a mention, very accommodating to our needs. Room needs a make over but spacious and clean. Would definitely return.

Fantastic experience: When visiting kilkenny this is a must stay hotel food excellent and the staff are very friendly and helpful

Fantastic experience: Just there for dinner. Packed carpark and packed Hotel. Great atmosphere went along with the crowd. Service was excellent, as was the food. I would recommend.

Fantastic experience: Gorgeous hotel, great atmosphere and comfort from the minute you walk in. The bar is great, serving nice food and it's not too expensive. All the staff are helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was delicious

Negative experience: A birthday break spoiled by arrogance and mismanagement! We travelled as 2 couples for a birthday night away! We had booked 2 superior rooms and a meal in the restaurant! Upon arrival we were told the restaurant was closed (despite having booked directly only a few days prior to arrival with confirmation) and that food was only being served in the Bar that evening which didn't take bookings but would fit us in, which the first of a few disappointments! Our room was clean and the only issue we had was the bed which was tiny and had a mattress which had seen better days! Having called reception to bring attention to this we were swiftly told that nothing could be done! Having got over that hurdle so to speak and not wanting to spoil the night away we ventured down for dinner in the bar, I met a member of staff who reiterated that they don't take bookings in the bar for food, I explained the situation re our restaurant booking to which he couldn't understand asthe restaurant was open but got us a table! To be fair Ian the bar supervisor was the nicest member of staff we met and stood us a round of drinks for the restaurant mix up and went out of his way to make sure we enjoyed the meal albeit in the bar it was a little noisier than we were expecting! To add insult to injury we had just got our starters when a member of management came in to say they had a table for us waiting in the restaurant and couldn't understand why we were sent to the bar! It all just smacked of mismanagement how could a group that had arranged and booked well in advance be told the restaurant was closed, then for someone to come to tell us a table was ready for us in the restaurant! We made the best of the remainder of our evening in kilkenny city! The following day we tried to bring the errors to the attention of a manager however he was too busy to speak with us, we got a call later that day basically wondering what the issue was despite him being the manager that had come to advise us the table in restaurant was ready! Having outlined our problems with both room and meal, we were basically told there was nothing that could be done and in his opinion the mattress and bed were fine! Making us feel as if we had imagined it! Overall a 4star hotel with 1 star attitude! I rarely post a poor review and don't generally complain and can understand erros can happen, but when they do and the provider feels there is nothing wrong there is an issue!

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. I have been there on two occasions for work related meetings. Very nice ... high end standards. Did not stay overnight, but maybe next time.

Positive experience: Lovely Sunday Dinner and nice staff too

Fantastic experience: Great dinner in the bar. Great value Beautiful food

Fantastic experience: We picked this hotel last minute and kind of randomly, but we were blown away when we walked into the lobby. The hotel is so beautiful and the staff was very helpful. We had dinner in the restaurant and it was SO delicious. The room was definitely not as well kept as the rest of the hotel, but it was still clean and decent enough that I would stay there again. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: It's a good hotel to stay over....Food is especially brilliant delicious, and fast, staff is friendly and efficient!!

Fantastic experience: We recently stayed at Hotel Kilkenny and were extremely pleased with our experience. The hotel’s modern, freshly renovated rooms were beautifully decorated and provided a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere. We also loved the lovely view from our window, which added a special touch to our stay. The afternoon tea and dinner were both exceptional, with high-quality dishes and great service. Breakfast was another highlight, offering a wide selection of options, including pancakes, which were a delightful treat. The location of the hotel is ideal, just a 15-minute walk from the city center, making it easy to explore Kilkenny while enjoying the peaceful surroundings. We also appreciated the ample parking provided, which made our stay even more convenient. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would highly recommend Hotel Kilkenny for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-located place to stay in Kilkenny.

Fantastic experience: I stayed as part of a tour. from start to finish was just amazing. We had breakfast and dinner every day. Food was excellent and service was extremely good. staff were friendly and helpful. The gym was very well equipped . The leisure centre was perfect.Very much enjoyed my stay and will be back

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant service. Very clean. Would highly recommend.

Positive experience: Pleasant stay. Nice hotel, good location.

Positive experience: Our midweek stay here was a disappointing experience. It started with a warm welcome greeting but finished at that. I fail to understand why there isn't a booking system for evening meal. The Rosehill Bar had the atmosphere of a fast food restaurant, rather than the cosy and relaxed atmosphere as described on your website. We were told sharply that we would have to wait 30 minutes. When seated and orders were taken abruptly, only one of the two starters arrived, the other one was completely forgotten about. The main course of seabass was just average. Service was poor and abrupt throughout. Breakfast the following morning was not what one would expect of a 4 star hotel. While service was much better here, the food selection was minimal, no fresh fruit in sight. The room was clean but a little cold. Sadly we will not be returning.

Negative experience: Lovely rooms, excellent staff & service

Fantastic experience: Stayed for two nights. Had a great experience all round. Rooms, staff, leisure centre and spa were all first rate. The hotel is about twenty mins walk into the city. All in all a fantastic hotel. Would definitely stay again.

Fantastic experience: Visited for a wedding, very well finished , lovely professional staff, courteous and helpful, place is immaculately clean, food was fantastic, really well presented and plenty of it. Excellent facilities on site. Will definitely return

Fantastic experience: Fantastic food,staff, rooms were clean

Fantastic experience: A lovely hotel with excellent food and service.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fabulous hotel, food is gorgeous and the staff are professional and friendly, I would highly recommend a stay here..

Fantastic experience: Lovely place to stay staff very freindly

Positive experience: Staff was excellent, rooms were great, but no AC, plenty of free parking and an easy 20 minute walk to town

Fantastic experience: Stayed for 3 nights and from the minute we stepped into the hotel we were looked after like Kings. Fantastic friendly staff in the Bar, Reception and Leisure centre. The service in the bar was second to none and Ian looked after us like he would he own Mum. The food was delicious in the bar and could not fault it at all. Overall if your staying in Kilkenny then this hotel is a MUST.

Fantastic experience: I have been here for 1 night here for another two staff very friendly food very good would come again

Positive experience: Friendly staff, but bit used room and bath facilities, not so wide breakfast portfolio

Positive experience: Nice place to relax for a couple of hours. Food good, service excellent, friendly staff

Fantastic experience: Very helpful staff. Big rooms. Comfortable bed. All you could want for a great rest.

Fantastic experience: It was a great hotel with such a good and kind staff and clean room, also the food was amazing

Positive experience: Gym is okay, pool is nice, cool staff too. Shame they stopped the towels.

Positive experience: Very good hotel and service. Lovely decorsted and tasteful food. Cute furniture. Big beds. Showers with mats so you dont fall. Only negative point: window couldnt be closed, because it was broken, but will be repaired. Room couldnt be changed to another because hotel was booked out. What a difference to the next hotel.

Fantastic experience: I loved it here. Yes, sadly it’s stuffy but it has been stuffy every single hotel I’ve been to in Ireland. It looks like Ireland does not do AC or doesn’t do it well. Even the places with AC were muggy and stuffy. I’m guessing because since it’s a short window of time they need AC that they don’t bother with it. At least the windows open! This was our second stop out of four in our vacation. Best breakfast out of four. Very helpful front desk staff. I thought the bar was nice for a drink. I didn’t order a meal from the restaurant. It is a VERY busy place with tour groups and weddings, so breakfast can get VERY busy. I was worried about the noise of the drunk wedding parties (there were at least two), but to my shock, I didn’t hear any while sleeping. Thank goodness! They were quite loud and drunk when they arrived but late night I slept through whatever they might have been saying or doing. (Side note: KilKenney seems to draw a lot of bachelor and bachelorette parties). I thought the rooms were amazing. Bed was great. Shower was great. Room a smidgen small but bigger than our Dublin room so we liked it! Location is near a fairly long bike/pedestrian path so I was able to get my 90 minute run in easily without getting loss or making many turns. Location is near a gas station convenience store which worked out great for me. I sure wish Ireland hotels would have refrigerators. The gym was WOW but sadly sooooo busy. Understandable because it is a health club with memberships to the public and free access for hotel staff. So, expect a full gym with machines, weights, accessories, and even a fitness room looking area. It was amazing. There was also a sauna, hot tub, and pool but didn’t use those. Locker rooms had showers and direct access to the pool from them. Unfortunately, when I went, it seemed full of young people posing for Instagram. Sad. Can’t we just workout anymore? There is a spa. I wish I had had time to check it out. I think it was 3-5 minutes further from city center than the other places we stayed in other towns, but still walkable and I would 100% stay here again. I loved it.

Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel friendly staff will come again

Positive experience: The rooms were nice and updated, smaller than expected. There is no A/C, you wouldn’t think it was necessary but it got pretty stuffy and hot in the rooms. The window opens but not very much. They provide a fan but it doesn’t do much. The food at the bar was pretty good! The breakfast was not worth it. The pool and gym were very busy due to non hotel users. They did have live music in the bar on Friday and Saturday which was nice. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible experience but I wouldn’t stay again.

Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel, very friendly staff, best breakfast team in Ireland, well appointed rooms, plenty of parking - great place to stay

Negative experience: How this hotel can be described as a four star hotel is beyond me. Our group of 12 stayed for two nights for a reunion of sorts. The rooms are very basic, the food in the bar is fine at best and the staff are less than helpful often giving unhelpful responses to requests and leaving you to figure out your own issue. The quality of the breakfast is subpar, it's obvious that cheaper products have been selected for the fry and the serving staff are all over the place - bringing tea when coffee was requested etc. Bottom line the rooms are overpriced and I wouldn't stay there again.

Positive experience: It was lovely except we stayed in a room with a sofa bed and it was very uncomfortable so we had to move rooms but the next day we had a very good sleep . Overall it was a great experience. PS the pool was very nice

Positive experience: Rooms were not ready when we arrived at 4…had to wait until almost 5:30 before it was. On the plus side, they did offer a drink voucher for the delay. It appears there is some renovation in progress based on their website. The room I had has not yet been updated and had dated decor, stained carpets, and a utilitarian bathroom. So, I would suggest requesting an updated room.

Fantastic experience: Visited for Sunday lunch, food was excellent and staff very helpful.

Fantastic experience: Staying here felt as if we were on one of the nicer all inclusive in Jamaica. Wonderful, updated clean rooms, great bar and restaurant as well, and I couldn't get over the gym and pool. Staff were wonderful to deal with as well. Only a 10 minute walk I to the city center for the sights and restaurants.

Fantastic experience: Rooms are in great condition since the days I worked here. Long time ago now. The grounds are always well maintained, the hotel is kept clean and the staff are well presented.

Positive experience: We only had a quick 2 night stay at this Hotel. It was very nice, clean and spacious. Unfortunately the air conditioner was not working on the entire floor. They did offer to change rooms after I had complained but we ended up getting a plug in heater. Thankfully it was not cold weather. The car park was full when we arrived and when we asked the reception about overflow parking they just said of there is plenty of parking. So my husband had to wit in the car until someone left. Whilst at the Hotel you have access to the Aquatic Centre located next door (walk via undercover hallway) which is also used by the general public. Very large gym which I used but I did not not use the pool. The breakfast buffet was very small but you could also order something from the menu. Coffee wasn’t very nice though. We also ate dinner at the Hotel which was nice but basic food. Quick dinner service and friendly staff. Unfortunately there is no on site laundry for travelers to use. The Hotel is about 10 mins drive from the city center.

Positive experience: The staff at this hotel were exceptional, we were truly impressed. The dinner menu at the restaurant/bar was also very good (sirloin steak and chicken curry were our choices). The pool is large, and warm, which was nice.

Fantastic experience: Great stay, hotel is spotless and serviece was excellent... food & drink is a must try... Worth the visit... town just a walk away...

Fantastic experience: What a beautiful place. Rooms are big and everything is very clean. Wait staff at dinner for very accommodating.

Positive experience: Quick bite after All-Ireland Minor Camogie Final in Nolan Park. Handy for parking and just off the by-pass for easy of getting on road home. Quick service, clean bathrooms.

Negative experience: Updated and modern on the front of the hotel and looks great in pictures, however dont expect the same in the rooms, very outdated, very small, too singles pushed together to make a double, TV really small half hid behind the curtain, requested ground floor near entrance, or with a balcony to smoke.. got neither, the non smoker of the group got a balcony you could smoke on.. wouldn't make any special requests as they will be completely ingnored, food okay.. it's cheap.. so get what you pay for. Facilities were great with the pool.. however really busy pool.

Fantastic experience: 10/10 fantastic location fantastic service and I can't wait to come back Please God. It was also in a brilliant location very central to everything.

Fantastic experience: Lovely staff. Great bar food and reasonable. Very comfortable beds. Had a lovely night's stay.

Positive experience: Would not consider this hotel a 4star. Asked a question twice when booking in, did not get an answer. Paid 220 a night so expected room to be excellent sadly it wasn't. Flush on toilet had to be wound around to flush, ensuite badly needs a complete redo. Skirting boards filthy. Food not great either. Definitely not 4 star.

Negative experience: Stayed here for 1 night on short business trip, paid 130 for room plus breakfast. Hotel looked really nice from the outside, lobby, reception, bar and breakfast room all nicely furnished and decorated and staff friendly. Breakfast served to table which is always nice. However, had room on the third floor and upon entering the place it looks battered!! doors, walls and everything else badly marked and damaged. My room was 303 and bad smell on entering which i suspect was from the carpet. Poorly furnished and very cheap looking, bathroom was the worse i think i ever seen in a hotel. Cheapest of the cheap. The corridor to the third floor actually has a security card swipe for entering which i never seen before, i suspect this hotel had its problems with stags/hen parties with drunks wondering around the hotel in the middle of the night trying to find their rooms. Bedrooms need some serious refurbishment to justify charging 130 euro, wouldn't stay here again.

Fantastic experience: Recently had afternoon tea, absolutely unbelievable, food was excellent, from the moment we arrived we were welcomed and all the staff were very friendly , especially rose who was looking after us, she’s very nice and so good at her job and had everything perfect for us , very professional and pleasant Will be back soon

Positive experience: Nice hotel but our room was very small and out dated. Not worth €500 for two nights.

Positive experience: The hotel looks nice and fresh. We stayed there for 2 nights. What we found good: location, food taste and portion size. What we found bad: - mattress is like a stone, - the hotel has a function rooms on the top floor and if you are "lucky" and there is a wedding or concert on the night you are staying the music is so loud you can't sleep in your room ( when checking in we saw the wedding party and asked about the noise level but the receptionist informed us that the music will not disturb us in our room; which was a lie and we could not sleep until the music stopped at 2am). - the restaurant staff is a mess. There is a lot of them moving around but it is so disorganized that in order to get breakfast served we had to order it firsts and than nudge 3 times before we were served. The second morning it has repeated, which is confirming it is happening systematically. - the SPA area is not in the hotel itself, so you have to go through the street (forget about going for SPA treatments in your bathrobe).

Fantastic experience: Great hotel, clean and very friendly service. The rooms were comfortable and had all the necessities. The spa was fully booked for days so we lucked out on that.

Negative experience: We weren't impressed at all. Wouldn't stay here again. Definitely should not be a 4 star. The lobby is lovely but the rooms are outdated and badly decorated. Although the beds are extremely comfortable. We were moved from the first room we were in, as there was constant drilling going on, also there was mould all over the bathroom ceiling and a rancid smell. The second room we were in was better, although the radiator made an extremely loud noise, we informed reception and the solution was to turn it off, leaving us in the cold. There was also mould around the shower in this room. I proposed to my partner during our stay, and before we were due to arrive I had rang the hotel to help me arrange a proposal, or if they could do anything special, the lady out was no help and that was that. Most certainly won't be having our wedding in this hotel, and after how I was treated don't understand how this hotel can promote itself as a wedding venue.

Positive experience: Burger drowned in relish. Had to leave half behind. Table looked like a butchers block after... (This was in January) Please put condiments on a side plate.

Negative experience: I would like to share the experience my family and I had at Hotel Kilkenny tonight. From the minute we walked into reception, to waiting in the dining area. We were highly disappointed at the service we were so looking forward to having received at this beautiful hotel. We felt unseen and totally dismissed. We were looking to sit down and have a lovely cup of coffee and dessert and hopefully book into the hotel thereafter to celebrate our 11 year wedding anniversary. The lady at reception didn't look up to acknowledge us until we moved closer despite us having stood and waited patiently. We then enquired about dining, we were then told to go through to the bar area, but the entire time after we had been motioned to an available table, no one had brought us menus or come to serve us, despite a waiter taking cutlery to a table next to us and another clearing a table on the other side of us. We decided to get up and leave to another hotel. I won't know if it was because of the scarf on my head, the fact that we looked under dressed after a fun day out with the kids or the fact that we are from another country, but I definitely won't recommend a visit to this hotel to anyone. Our short stay was definitely not a great one.

Negative experience: I am very disappointed in this hotel. It has nearly 5 starts buy its a 3-star hotel. Our room was okay clean but very cold ,the pool was freezing the steam room didn't work . When we went for dinner, the food was desperate, and i asked for steak to be cooked with no blood it came out nearly alive, and I asked for no mushrooms with it it came full of mushrooms. For the price I paid for the room, I expected more.

Positive experience: Place was clean did have to move rooms at the start a couple of times as it wasn't set up as a twin room but Tony gave me and my mam an upgrade to a lovely twin room beside the lift and the lift is right beside the entrance with the pool which is spotless and opens at 7 am the staff couldn't be more helpful .the breakfast is made to order and not buffet nd it cant be faulted really all the food was immaculate and plenty of it .the drink was good quality Nd although there is a lot of young staff they are all very helpful Nd courteous..I will definitely be back

Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel and staff but please put the the relish for the burgers on the side of the plate. Mine was something like Chainsaw Massacre..relish on the burger (both sides)..relish on the lettuce.. relish on the bun.. top and bottom. There was an extra helping of relish in a side bowl and there was more relish in satchets on the tables. What the heck is going on with all the relish??

Fantastic experience: I,v never stayed in this hotel but after what i have seen of the inside and the food as I attend a music night, I most definitely will be back. Stunning place,

Fantastic experience: Lovely hotel, nice room but a bit outdated and soulless, but I heard they are in the process of updating rooms. We had a lovely evening meal served by a waiter who was clearly well trained and professional, but unfortunately he was on his own in that department, there was a lot if young staff who were going around like headless chickens and need to be trained and managed. We were staying because we were going to see Tommy Fleming, who was excellent. Security Staff were very helpful showing us to our seats and the venue was very good. But the service at the bar was dismal. Lots of staff but no plan in action , no-one seemed to be organised or know who was next! If they simply put a corral in front of the bar , have the security person at the front letting a person up to the bar as each customer leaves, 3 bar staff and 3 customers being served in oder of arrival no long waits or customers been missed. Over all its was very pleasant and I would recommend this hotel.

Negative experience: I don’t usually leave reviews. Stayed here last night The hotel itself was very nice but the service was terrible. We sat down for a meal 4 times we were given The wrong food before we had even orderd we received the food eventually but had no cutlery or nothing. Table behind us also complained the food was mediocre. The room was absolutely freezing this morning we called room service to make a slight change to our breakfast order the woman on the phone was very rude would not stay here again

Fantastic experience: Great show from all the staff at Hotel Kilkenny. From the moment we arrived the staff were so helpful. Tony on reception did us a solid, by sorting us out with an extra nice room and letting us check in early. My man! The night staff are great to. Jerry, Abraham and Muhamed always answered the phone and sorting us out with drinks into the AM with a smile. In every other hotel we have stayed it has been almost impossible to get a hold of the night staff but not in Hotel Kilkenny. Room sqeeky clean aswell ! 5 star !

Positive experience: We stayed at Hotel Kilkenny over Christmas, the lobby and bar areas are beautiful. The food is also excellent. The main issue I had was with the bedroom and corridors. The bedroom was extremely dated, and hasn’t been renovated in a long time, however the bathroom looked to have been recently updated. The room for 2 nights came to €500 which is extortionate given the standard. The corridors are also shabby and could do with a revamp. Overall, the stay was fine but I wouldn’t book again,

Fantastic experience: I had a meal there, sea bass, it was super, it was well presented, cooked to perfection, i will be a regular visitor from now on, an experiance worth repeating.

Negative experience: I was so looking forward to a lovely break. Firstly the hotel was extremely busy. 2 weddings and because of New Year's Eve lots of large groups. When I enquired about booking the restaurant for dinner the receptionist assumed I wasn't a resident. She had to go check with someone else who said they had a lot of groups booked in but would let me know. We got a reservation for 8pm and when we arrived it was half full and no one came in after us. Room was ok. Not serviced properly. Bed not made dirty cups and glasses left and not cleaned. Bathroom also not cleaned properly. Lots of young children running around the bar late at night without supervision. Overall was very disappointed. Definitely won't be going back. One good thing was food was good and reasonable

Positive experience: Stayed here at a company function, the hotel is very clean, bar service great. The food was excellent. My only issue was the room It was never updated since the 80's. Old hair dryer, shower curtain in the bath, rubber mat to stop you slipping in the bath, I heard they have better rooms but I didn't see them, I would got back

Fantastic experience: Loved everything about this place. The staff and Managers in both the Hotel and the Gym were beautiful humans, very very helpful i stayed in August and forgot to write this but they haven't left my mind look forward to being back there.

Positive experience: Really lovely Hotel, this is our second visit and really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, staff are friendly and always a pleasure. The Christmas party organised was very professional throughout.

Fantastic experience: It's beautiful and clean , our room was very clean and warm , shower clean bed changed every day breakfast delicious staff very friendly and customer service excellent, highly recommend

Negative experience: Meet family for lunch, ordered two ceaser salads, a chicken cheese salad sandwich on white bread, no butter but mayo instead plus a portion of chips, a club orange was ordered, a glass of water was brought out, asked again, for club orange, this time got orange cordial, yet again asked for club orange and got orange juice, went to the bar and got Fanta, food arrived, my sandwich was chick on white bread with loads of butter, told the server it was wrong that I wanted chicken salad, he told me I had chicken, sent it back, I eventually got white bread with chicken, a slice of tomoto and onion plus greasy under cooked wedges, it was like a scene from faulty towers, I asked for chips, got them and couldn't be bothered trying to get the right sandwich. A minus 4 star hotel the general manager was supposed to contact my brother in law regarding his stay in the hotel, obviously the general manager couldn't be bothered to ring him, really shoddy attitude and lack of customer care.

Positive experience: Lovely setting. Good for business or vacations. I noticed many fa.ilies there. Service was amazing. Fantastic breakfast. No complaints.

Positive experience: Very pleasant staff, great service. Was at a group function and stayed one night. The set dinner menu had a good choice of starters and mains. The food was of a high standard. The hotel runs a residents bar when others are closed . The room was clean and tidy. TV had a good selection of chanel's. Would recommend the hotel strongly

Fantastic experience: Stayed for a couple of nights. Nice bar food with friendly staff. My room was quite dated and would require an update. I'm aware other rooms have updated recently.

Fantastic experience: Just after a wonderful stay at Hotel Kilkenny. Ideal location about 10-15 walk into town. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable design. Staff were beyond helpful. Highly recommend and looking forward to my next visit back.

Fantastic experience: We stayed here for our daughters wedding, the reception was here & I have to say it was superb! From check in to check out & EVERYTHING in between! The wedding reception was so fabulous, the food, was beautiful, service excellent, staff so on the ball. Can't praise them enough. Staying here was a pleasure, staff were professional, friendly & so helpful, they went out of their was to be helpful. Well done one & all The room we had was lovely, if very warm & lighting could be improved, but bed comfortable, pillows not great. But overall this hotel comes highly recommended by us & everyone who was there at the wedding. Well done to EVERYONE on the team

Positive experience: Looked like an amazing hotel in the photos, so we decided to splurge €600 for 2 nights on a weekend. The room was spacious, staff were efficient and pleasant, and bed was very comfortable. That was really the extent of it. The hotel itself is all bedrooms, with one wide lobby with 3 or 4 chairs. No ambience or character anywhere. Lots of conference rooms and reception rooms for weddings on different floors. If you are planning a business conference, then this is the place. Otherwise, I wouldn't advise it.
