Top Kilkenny Castle Hotel Reviews

Kilford Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was not perfectly clean, but the view was beautiful, and the location was perfect- right in between the bus stop and the main attractions of the city. So close to everything!

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"great gym, good access to downtown, great breakfast"

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."

Breakfast was delicious and the service again was outstanding. Our room was newly renovated with very comfortable beds, clean with the added bonus of a common kitchen area where we were able to play cards comfortably. Lucas was outstanding and helpful with directions, recommendations and a large bag of ice for us Canadians. Great location."
