Access to City Center Kilkenny was very easy. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable and the pillows could have been better. The fan in the bathroom had no shut off and was a bit noisy. The room was a bit small but big enough for the two of us.

A very good hotel in Kilkenny. This was our first time in Kilkenny and we wanted a nice place to stay hotel Kilkenny did not disappoint 👌 although its a bit of a walk into the centre of town for seeing around the sites the weather was good and we enjoyed the walk ☀️ taxis are also plentiful if you require one. We booked a room with breakfast and we paid a charge to have it delivered to the room. The food was very good so all round a good experience 😃

Kilkenny Hotel is a great hotel. Our room was very nice and quite spacious. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not a criticism but just a comment, the gentleman that checked us in was very professional and efficient but not friendly. He’s the only person not to have a welcoming smile and kind words.

It’s a decent stay for the price. The property is starting to show its age and the health club was out of commission during my stay. Included breakfast is good, not exceptional. It’s a short walk to the city center and all the great restaurants and pubs so not bad overall.
