"Excellent stay as always."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

Kilford Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was great! Located right in the heart of the town."

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was not the best experience. Lots of getting up and down to collect items and get tea/ coffee. It was the only 4 star hotel on our trip where hot drinks were not served at the table. Unusual hot food service where the hot food buffet was cut off by a barrier and could not be accessed individually but had to wait in line until a server came over when they were free"

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."

Langtons Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice."

SpringHill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Large clean room. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was Amazing. Dinner was very good very large portions. Only downfall was the pool was closed for renovations nothing on website about this only found out at the hotel."
