Top The Swan Hotel Reviews

The Club House Hotel

8/10 Good

"This hotel is in an excellent location near the centre of Kilkenny, which is a very walkable city in any case. And an added bonus is that they have a car park at the rear. The hotel is from the Georgian era and has lots of charming period features! The food at breakfast and for dinner in the restaurant was excellent. Sometimes the service in the restaurant in the evenings was a bit slow - one more waitress would have made a big difference. My only disappointment in this hotel was that I was given a very small room. In fact looking at the floor plan behind the door, I was in the very smallest room on that floor and I'm not convinced that every other room was occupied. Otherwise I was delighted with this hotel and would highly recommend it."

Kilford Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was a little outdated. Besides that’s everything was great."

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I booked Hotel Kilkenny. We arrived early and checked in. On a walk my wife tripped and fell needing a trip to the emergency room. The reception staff at the hotel went above and beyond getting everything she needed for the trip to the hospital. When we returned to the hotel, everyone was so kind asking how she was doing. The breakfast was made to order and was excellent. Every member of the staff from front desk, bar, dining and housekeeping were amazing. Our room was beautiful. The housekeeping staff kept all our amenities refilled. I would highly recommend staying at this hotel. When I return to Kilkenny, I will stay at this hotel again."

The Heritage

10/10 Excellent

"At wedding 10/10/26 lovely hotel great service from start to finish was a great day and night ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good

"Kicked out of the pool & gym at 7:30pm even though it said 8 and that was confirmed at reception"

SpringHill Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were incredibly kind and helpful. Gave great city recommendations and helped to arrange any transportation needed"

Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great pit stop on Motercycle journey"

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

The Lodges at Kilkea Castle

10/10 Excellent

"Kilkea Castle was a wonderful stay. Last minute we booked a room in the Lodges; unfortunately, the actual Castle was all booked up. This didn’t lessen the experience though. The lodge room was clean, comfortable, well-appointed and had a fairway view. We were also able to use the facilities in the castle itself. We weren’t there to golf and that was just as well as the course was closed for maintenance. As a golfer the course did look like a premium course, and I’d love to go back for another stay and a round."
