Great!
What a fantastic hotel! Exactly what we were looking for- right in the center of town, historic, and tons of charm. Staff were extremely pleasant and gave us so much information as to what to see and do. Bed was very comfortable, and the breakfast in the restaurant hit the spot. Did not avail of the bar- next time. We’ll definitely be recommending this hotel.

Hardest thing about this place if you're driving is locating the hotel carpark. Took quite a few goes and a fair bit of cursing to eventually locate it. It will be a decent lug if you have heavy bags as there is no lift. Breakfast was really good and the location is a short walk to Killarney Castle. Staff were friendly and if you're looking for an old pub with lots of character then this is your place.

The staff tried hard but the rooms in the newer section of the hotel were like cheap dorm rooms and the bathroom wasn’t cleaned well. There was hair on the sink when I arrived and the bathtub needed to be scrubbed.

Would not recommend
This hotel is majorly in need of a complete overhaul. Room was tiny and smelled damp. Wallpaper coming off wall and generally tatty. Walls are paper thin and people next door may as well have been in my room i could hear them snoring that clearly. Absolutly not value for money.....waaay overproced for what it was. Any staff i spoke to were pleasant and helpful though.

Great hotel in Kilkenny for roadtrip
A great family run hotel with interesting history. The building and furnishings were a great talking point. Staff are friendly, efficient and engaging. Our room was comfortable and quiet, especially considering it’s central location. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The bar had great atmosphere, music and was very relaxed. Would love to stay again.

Historical surprise
Like history? You'll love this. Our tour guide dropped us off here and thoughy it looked a little sketchy. Really its just from another time......1797 to be exact. It was built as a hunting club and the decor, stained glass, portraits of former mbers, etc reflect that. Wonderful bar and dining room, great staff. Be prepared for a hike to your room involving up and down stairs, turns and other maze like challenges. The room is no Holiday Inn cookie cutter, but it is clean and adequate. Short walking distance to fun stuff.

The location to downtown and the free parking were the only real attributes for this property. Ridiculous walk to your dingy room with septic smell emanating from the drain in the bathroom. We were awakened at 0530 to a diesel garbage truck directly outside our window reving up the engine then driving away after two or three starts, only to come back a half hour later. Terrible noise. Avoid this property!

Irish Charm
This is a quirky and very old hotel. There are multiple sets of stairs, and it took a minute to figure out exactly how to find my room. I would not recommend for anyone that has mobility issues. The room was dated and there was a bit of a musty smell in the hallways. However, I felt safe, the room was clean and it was quiet. We really appreciated the parking as it was so easy. The staff were all very accommodating and the hotel is so convenient to everything in Kilkenny. It was a short one night stay and the hotel served our needs quite well. Most of all, the price was right!

The hotel was in a great location for exploring the town. We were greeted warmly by the hotel staff. One reason we chose this particular place was it had parking. The hotel is historic but could still make some updates while keeping its charm.

The Club House hotel is everything you would want for a quaint city center irish hotel (except no lift and there are stairs). The city center is a 5 min walk, the train station is a 20 min walk and Kilkenny Castle is a must visit. Since Kilkenny is on a river the streets are up and down. I highly recommend the Club House hotel!

The dedicated parking lot was nice as was the location. The building was tired and old. No elevator, no a/c, just a small skylight for a window, bed was low and very soft. There was an electric water pot but no cups. Wouldn't stay here again.

This is an older hotel put together from a former hunting club. It has a lot of quirky passages and staircases and it can be quite a journey to your room. The staff were great but the hotel is showing its age a bit.
