Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great! I would highly recommend it. Just be aware, as of most of Ireland, no central air during the summer, but other than that it was perfect. So close to Kilkenny. I would stay again. :)"

Kilford Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The location is fantastic. Very close to all the bars and nightlife but not in the noise of it. Staff were very helpful and accommodating. Breakfast was huge, (could have included beans though).. Only downside was the shower curtain. It just stuck to you when using the shower making it uncomfortable. "

Rafter'S Gastropub

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Rafter's for our first night in Ireland, and it was a great start to the trip. The location was perfect, only about a five minute walk to Kilkenny Castle. Gerry was an awesome host, he made us feel so welcome and even invited my mother-in-law behind the bar to make an Irish coffee to compete with his. After dinner, we had a drink at the pub and there was live music; it only played until 9:30, so it didn't keep us from sleeping! The breakfast was included and there were many options, all amazing and made fresh. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more authentic Kilkenny experience."
