Staff were excellent and really friendly , will be staying again ,

Sean Ireland

The staff were very welcoming and as we arrived our room was upgraded. The hotel is extremely clean and followed all COVID-19 regulations. We really enjoyed our stay. The location is also ideal as it was a short walk to the city centre.

Laura Ireland

The staff were kind and seriously patient , when we were leaving there was a lady at the front desk complaining , it seemed unwarranted and by no means the impression I have , I’ve stayed in hotel Kilkenny multiple times and will do so again , the staff were extremely professional with this and made sure we were looked after when checking out too even though all that was happening ! Highly recommend this hotel

Shelby Ireland

Everything, great dinner and cocktails and selection of vegetarian meals. Delicious breakfast also!!

Darragh Ireland

Excellent staff, excellent food, Covid 19 measures spot on

Eoin Ireland

Beautiful breakfast, we were so well attended too! Location good if you like a brisk walk, taxi always an option, staff happy to organise same! Rooms comfy and clean!

Mary Ireland

Everything! Absolutely lovely professional staff that couldn't do enough for us. The place was kept spotlessly clean, with sanitising stations everywhere you look. All covid procedures followed by the book! Couldn't recommend this place any higher.

Amy Ireland

Nice hotel with great leisure centre and well maintained pool for both adults and kids 10 minutes walk to kilkenny centre. We had lovely food in the bar but there is also a garage just beside the hotel which has a big fresh deli which is handy for snacks for kids.

Jennifer Ireland

We ate in the Bar and had the Tempura Prawns for starter they were just out of this world, the Sea Bass was mouth watering. The waiting staff were attentive and couldn't do enough for you on the night. Room was very spacious and loved the waterfall shower head in the shower which was lovely. Definitely be back in the coming months, thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend.

Susan Ireland

The hotel, the rooms, the gym etc are all of a very high standard.
