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.
Lovely town with plenty to visit, good pubs and restaurants.
Lovely town with plenty to visit, good pubs and restaurants. Nice walking path near the river. Easy navigation around the sights. Good spots for Irish traditional music in the evening. Nice bookstore on High street. In the morning, we ventured farther, across the river, and found more things to visit beyond where we visited on our prior visit.

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 .
The leisure facilities were fantastic-pool, sauna, steam room, infinity pool, jacuzzi all excellent, clean and well managed
The breakfast was decent, good variety
The staff were generally very nice, pleasant and helpful and there were plenty of them
This is a very family friendly hotel with play rooms, toys, petting zoo, adventure trail etc.
The location in Kilkenny is pretty good too, walkable to the city centre and attractions like the castle
Also a lovely cocktail in Scotts and very pleasant and helpful wait staff
We started in the Garden area, which was difficult because of all the doorways and stairs we had to navigate with the wheelchair. Once we were moved to the hotel building, it was much easier. The staff was very understanding and accommodating, even moving the trundle bed for us. The breakfast was the best one on offer during the 3 weeks we visited Ireland. Your location was great - close to the train/bus station, and all the attractions were within an easy walk.
We absolutely loved this property! This is one of the two best places we stayed in Ireland. The entire building, our bedroom, restaurant, garden…everything about this hotel was CHARMING. Staying at Butler House made our visit to Kilkenny so magical and memorable. All the staff there were friendly, courteous, and helpful. Immediately after we arrived, the receptionist gave us fantastic recommendations for the order of site visits over two days.
The swimming pool was great. Children loved it, lots of space and not too crowded.
The location of hotel is excellent, right in city centre.
The breakfast was delicious (except for rashers as usual in a hotel). The breakfast dining room was very spacious with relaxed atmosphere.
The staff were very friendly and genuinely helpful.
Rooms were a good size.
Great little B&B offering free parking near the city centre. Owners are very friendly, allowing us to park our car early and check in early as the room was ready. Great to be able to park and freely explore Kilkenny. Lovely breakfast, including vegetarian breakfast, and all round great stay. Beds were comfy and room was nice. Homely decor.
Private, it was like a small apartment with all the amenities you could ask for like full size fridge washing machine tumble driver, everything was clean, the rooms were stylish. I would love to return one day. Also the city centre was basically a two minute walk, so many things so close by. Gives you independence a hotel can’t give.
Fabulous location right by the river in Kilkenny city centre. Awesome terraces in the summer. Real old school, large hotel bar, so stylish. Like from a movie from the beginning of the 20th century. Large and comfortable rooms. Really tasty breakfast. Super friendly staff. Good parking in the yard. Excellent stay.
Very clean, comfortable hotel just outside the city centre in a quiet location. Great for walkers who don’t mind a 20 minute stroll into town. The staff were very helpful in recommending places to eat and allowed us to leave our car parked and stored our bags even after check out.
Very nice facility in the middle of the town. A short walk to almost everything. Breakfast was about the same as all breakfasts we had. The hotel staff were really nice and helpful. The restaurant was expensive and not very good food.
This was a cute hotel. I would suspect this is basic for a Inn style hotel in Ireland. In comparison to average hotel at this cost, in Canada this would be way below standard.
The host was amazing. Next to the train station and a short walking distance to the city centre. The apartment was super comfortable and clean with all the necessary amenities.
