Pembroke Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, walking distance to downtown. Comfortably bed.."

Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and well kept castle. Staff was really good"

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a good central location, the bedroom was comfy room and well equipped, The breakfast was good and the staff were friendly, there is a nice nice bar and breakfast area. Only problem was our room faced onto a side street with several businesses operating so there was a lot of early morning noise, so if considering staying I would choose a different room for that reason."

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."
