    Parking very tight. Wedding function limited other guests to enjoy the garden.

    Nice large room, great location and excellent breakfast.

    No concerns or issues whatsoever.

    We were given an upgrade to a suite which we enjoyed. Great location and the garden/patio area are very nice. Short walk to castle and High Street. Very friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

    The room needs a bit of refurbishment as it is quite old and tired looking. The beds were too soft for me and my daughter (both of us have a bit of back problems).

    The staff was very friendly, the breakfast was quite delicious. The location was fantastic, with a back entrance to the castle. The parking facilities were a bonus.

    Dowager house for the castle. Elegant; nice gardens. View of castle from the windows. Great room with amazing colors-teal and gold- very striking. Spacious triple/family room with large windows and window seating. Breakfast was cooked to order with yummy options(I.e. eggs Benedict, avocado toast, eggs Florentine). Great location. Amazing recommendation for dinner from staff- Italian.

    We had a fantastic stay, and we're lucky to get a brilliant 2nd floor room with a wonderful window overlooking the garden and castle. The breakfasts were huge and delicious, and we were lucky enough to enjoy the bay window seats overlooking the garden. The location was fantastic, with safe private parking. So easy to walk out and explore!

    Am not a fan of showers in bath. Difficult to get in and out of and water goes in puddle on floor.

    Great location in city centre. Has car park at back. Very cosy and welcoming.

    beautiful hotel, but too pricy
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children

    • Stayed 1 night

    A certain amount of noise from the road, as room was to the front of the building, but luckily on top floor. Breakfast was average. Only option of hot drinks were tea or coffee - all other hot drinks were at an additional charge, even a hot chocolate for a child, who does not drink tea or coffee! The fruit salad could definitely be imrpoved, it consisted mainly of apple and did not really have any seasonal fruit in it, apart from jellified water melon. It was very cold and obviously not feshly made. The muesli was not of good quality - 95% oat flakes. A bit disappointing for a four star hotel. Also, just one type of toasted bread (white). There was no shower gel or shampoo in the vicinity of the bath tub, and the other fixed dispensers were out of reach from there - not practical. Definietly too highly priced for what it is.

    centrally located, nice reception area, lovely garden, beautiful, light breakfast room with view onto the garden and Kilkenny castle was very special, nicely furnished room with very comfortable beds, soft carpet, pleasant on foot, bottled water and espresso machine free car park included

    The room was a little bit stuffy and muggy. We used the standing a/c but could have had better air circulation.

    Breakfast was delicious, great variety and excellent service. Location was very good, easy walking all over the city.
