The pictures are great. The outside looks great, but the rooms are something out of a 70's horror show. Very outdated with flickering lights, cracked walls and just a musty smell. Not as advertised

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The rooms were a nice size and we had a balcony. However, room was not very clean and smelled of smoke. Bed side plugs didn’t allow standard adapters so it was not convenient for charging phones or CPAPs. On site restaurant was very convenient, food was decent but service was slow. Lots of parking however many spots taken by fitness club attached to hotel. Overall we didn’t feel the hotel quality matched the higher room rate.

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.
