Top 5-Star Hotels in Kilkenny

We arrived at this hotel very late, and when we entered the room, we were very surprised. We booked a suite, but we didn't expect it to be so good; the room is very large, especially the dining room and living room are very spacious; especially the wine cabinet is made in the form of a piano, which is quite innovative 👏; the bedroom is also very comfortable, there are two bathrooms, very convenient and very clean; I woke up in the morning and found that the hotel is very large and beautiful, and took many photos in the hotel; it's a pity that it rained and I couldn't go to the garden, I could only look at the beautiful garden through the window. The breakfast is also good, a standard English breakfast; it is worth staying for two days to sit around in the hotel and drink English afternoon tea, which will definitely be very enjoyable.

This hotel was a good choice. Great location, close to many bars, restaurants and tourist attractions. The check in was smooth and staff were very friendly. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast is a la carte and it was delicious. The bar of the hotel is cool as well, although service is very slow, but the servers are friendly and there’s live music at night. I recommend this hotel.

We stayed, my husband daughter and son, as part of a special needs group weekend stay. We were greeted by the receptionist who was warm and extremely professional as all staff were in the Hotel. The food, breakfast and dinner were all fresh and plentiful and delicious. We stayed in rooms on the third floor which were spacious and housed really comfortable beds. There were tea and coffee making facilities and there was a room service menu. There was a safety deposit box and clean white robes in the wardrobe and slippers. There is a leisure center with a 20 meter pool which again was lovely and a separate Jacuzzi. There is a Sauna and a mist/shower room which again was a surprise and which I would recommend. There is a spa which we didn't use but looks beautiful. Everything on their website is true to reality. The only one thing which I was disappointed about was that there is a hair salon located at the Leisure Centre run by a lady called Anne (I found her name from the receptionist at the Spa). This was a Saturday and I wanted to book a wash and blowdry for later in the afternoon. I left messages from 10 am and texted and the reply each time was ”This is Anne please leave a text message or call and I will get back to you”. I later found out from the ladies on the Leisure Centre reception that Anne isn't in situ on Saturday. I was very disappointed whereas if the message on her phone had been that she didn't open on Saturday, it would have saved my disappointment. Just a suggestion as I'm sure there could be others in the same situation. We would definitely however return to Hotel Kilkenny for a stay in the future. Thank you Aoife Myler and family

Really nice hotel and very friendly staff. Check in after 3pm was not great and the gym and pool are dated but generally good to use. Across from the carpark and you get a discount so very convenient.

Location very convenient: stone’s throw from the train station and right in the town centre near the castle and some really nice bars. Their bar also serves good food and is a decent spot for a late night drink. Be aware however, that the front door shuts at 10 and you can only gain access from the buzzer at the adjacent bar and they are quite strict on guest access. If you are a couple make sure to select for 2 when making the booking. Nevertheless the breakfast is extensive, and the rooms comfortable so thumbs up overall.
