2. Kinnitty Castle Hotel

Kinnitty

"We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful castle hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the staff was so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was also extremely nice with a hot option (like pancakes/sausage) included. Only complaint is that there needs to be some pest control inside, as there were spiders in every corner of the ceiling as well as one running around by my toilet. The grounds were incredible and we wished we had more time to stay and hike around them as others seemed to know...

Top Rathdowney Hotel Reviews

Midlands Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The meeting rooms are excellent, but having to pay for a room before you use it and will need coffees and or food throughout the day seems unreasonable to me. But room keys would not be handed over until the room was fully paid in advance, and then any refreshments throughout the day had to be paid for individually. I have been using meeting rooms throughout the 32 counties for over 25 years and have not been met with the attitude at the front desk on arrival. Disappointing, as the rooms and location are excellent"

SpringHill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable. They need to add further hooks to hang towels. Please supply larger towels as not every body is a size 10/12."

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hitel and great service"

Kilford Arms Hotel

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely boutique hotel in walkable location to all the attractions. Enjoyed a delicious bowl of seafood chowder in the gorgeous bar. Bed and bedding were very comfortable. Breakfast had a large buffet selection plus a hot breakfast cooked to order. Perfectly comfortable 1st night in Ireland after a long journey and jet lag."

The Killeshin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"clean and spacious room."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

8/10 Good

"Overall fine, however there is no air conditioning. I was told it’s a rarity in most Irish hotels - and even their homes. They did provide a fan on request. Bed somewhat hard for my curvy body. The included breakfast was great - full Irish breakfast if you want."
