Great location with friendly staff and nice breakfast

The hotel is on the ring road for Kilkenny and is a good 25 minutes walk from the city centre. The only place to eat was the Bar area as the restaurant is reserved for coach parties. We found good restaurants in Kilkenny and free evening parking a few minutes walk away.

Kilkenny Hotel is a great hotel. Our room was very nice and quite spacious. Breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff were very welcoming and friendly. Not a criticism but just a comment, the gentleman that checked us in was very professional and efficient but not friendly. He’s the only person not to have a welcoming smile and kind words.

This hotel is more for a corporate gathering than a family gathering. It was clean and the front desk person was extremely friendly. However, the bar was loud and service wa not the best. There was a private event on the top floor that wasn’t marked private and loud music played into the early morning hours.

It’s a decent stay for the price. The property is starting to show its age and the health club was out of commission during my stay. Included breakfast is good, not exceptional. It’s a short walk to the city center and all the great restaurants and pubs so not bad overall.
