"The location is perfect and the hotel offers free onsite parking (we found out after we arrived and parked elsewhere so moving the car was a bit of a headache but lesson learned - check with the hotel directly before arriving). Staff was very helpful and friendly and we had a great stay. "

"This hotel is so beautiful. The rooms were amazing so welcoming.e the restaurant and bar we great the staff we the best. The food was great and great live music. Will definitely stay there again"

"This hotel was very asthetically pleasing, from the grounds, to the rooms, and even the bar! We had a triple room (twin and a double bed), which was compact, but still plenty of room to move around. We appreciated being on the first floor as it was quite warm outside and the rooms do not have AC. We had a lovely dinner in the bar and also enjoyed relaxing on the adjoining patio. Staff was very accommodating and efficient. Location is an easy 15 minute walk into city center, which was a fun area to explore. If you're not from Ireland, heads up that hotels don't seem to provide conditioner (at least none of the four we stayed in did). "

"Great location and wonderful staff. Was traveling with my niece who has a gluten allergy. They were able to accommodate for her. "

"Great location"

"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."
