Excellent hotel, right close to all attractions. We really enjoyed that we could park the car and walk to everything we wanted to see and do. Beautiful view of the St. Canice Cathedral at night. Quiet location, slept with the windows open. Would recommend.

I highly recommend The Kilkenny Inn to anyone who visiting Kilkenny. It's a 30 bed property within walking distance to all city amenities. It's a modern, comfortable and impeccably clean property with private parking. Breakfast was excellent and we found the staff to be most helpful at all times. Looking forward to staying here again in the future.

Very clean and friendly, modern with everything I required. The only minor issue was Luke warm water for a shower in the evening.

Overall, the stay was very good. Though the hotel may be just off the main "tourist" areas, the walk to anything in town was only 5-10 minutes if that. Room was comfortable, clean, water was hot, all things you could want. Have no complaints and would definitely stay here again without hesitation. The only drawback I would say is that some, not all, of the reception employees where not always the most friendly.

My room was spotless and clean and comfortable. I had a kingsize bed and it was perfect. I could hear a few drunk people outside even with windows closed. Overall slept well. Breakfast was lovely & staff were all professional and helpful.

Excellent breakfast really good variety everything cooked and presented very well, lovely staff especially Nial.rooms very clean (unfortunately my carpet had been burned by someone using straightners) otherwise everything was perfect. We were unfortunate that due to family circumstances we were there over a bank holiday so the Saturday Sunday room rates were quite expensive where as the Monday Tuesday were very good. I would definitely stay here again.

The location was perfect to walk to all the sites and to many, many restaurants and pubs. The lobby and bar area are lovely. The room was quite spacious. The bed was comfortable. Shower water was hot and strong flow. I loved the toiletries, kettle, bottled water, and variety of coffee and tea options in the room. It was so close to everything! The staff were absolutely incredible! Excellent customer service and very welcoming. I will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Kilkenny Inn in August 2022. The staff was welcoming and efficient. We appreciated that we were allowed to park in the hotel lot for a few hours before our check-in time. The hotel is very convenient to St. Canice Cathedral which is around the corner. The one safety concern we had was with the bathtub. Visitors need to be careful when coming out of the tub since it is quite deep. Overall we felt that the Kilkenny Hotel was reasonably priced for its convenient location in Kilkenny town.

My wife and I added Kilkenny to our itinerary as a way to break up our trip between Killarney to northern Dublin. Therefore, we treated this hotel as simply a place to sleep and shower before heading off the next day. No bells and whistles here. Just an OK place to rest before moving on. *Restaurant was closed. Needed to walk into town for food, but we planned on doing this anyways.

Would not recommend staying here. There was no hot water on the evening we arrived so we were not able to shower. When we informed the receptionist (who came to the room to check) he shrugged his shoulders and said there was nothing he could do about it. I am aware cold exposure is very popular trend these days but this is simply not good enough. Stay somewhere else.
