4 Stars Hotels in County Kilkenny, Ireland

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.

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.

This hotel is a stunning find and hidden gem. The hotel is small in comparison to most chain hotels however it could easily compete with them and beat a lot of them. The staff are wonderful, very friendly and kind. I arrived later in the evening and had a long journey. The lady who I met on reception, (apologies i didn’t get her name) was very nice she offered me an add on breakfast rate and I just found her to be very helpful and friendly. A great first impression of this hotel. My next great impression was my room. It is beautifully decorated with my favourite Ritiual products in the bathroom. There was a nespresso machine plus tea making facilities and an iron and ironing board also available. I then dined in the bar and had a lovely waitress called Avril who gave me great help with the menu and heled me choose my main course. She assured me it was very tasty and it certainly was. Avril also very kindly gave me directions for my journey in the morning. Avril again is another great addition to this hotel. I stay in ALOT of hotels and have worked in them for years. I can certainly highly and wholeheartedly recommend this hotel.
