Top The Swan Hotel Reviews

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was in a perfect location. Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was worth the money with plenty of choice. Rooms were very clean and bed was very comfortable. The only negative was the pillows were not so comfortable and there was no air conditioning in the room although there was a desk fan provided. Just glad we didn't stay in the heat wave. If you are visiting Kilkenny I would recommend this hotel."

SpringHill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly friendly and most helpful."

Pembroke Hotel

Hotel Kilkenny

"Lovely r"

Woodford Dolmen Hotel

8/10 Good

"The property is a fairly nice place. Nothing special as far as rooms go, and the lack of air conditioning was a definite negative on a hot day. Windows helped but they don't have screens in the windows. Front desk staff was very friendly. Parking was easy. Grounds were very nice. My children enjoyed exploring the grounds."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

8/10 Good

"all good"

Langtons Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived late but Tony was very helpful and got us checked in right away. This property is beautiful and clean. All the staff were very helpful and the location and parking availability could not be better. We hope to return again before too long."

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel in a fantastic setting. All the team were really friendly and helpful."

Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"This was the most wonderful experience staying at Kilkea Castle. The property is steeped in history and was incredibly interesting to read about. The staff were friendly and accommodating and the food was delicious, with some tasty variations on traditional Irish breads with soups. Breakfast was ordered from a menu rather than buffet style. We had a memorable experience and loved every minute!"
