5 Star Service

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.

Enjoyed my stay......

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.

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!
