Top Freshford Hotel Reviews

The Club House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great, classic family owned hotel in the heart of Kilkenny. Lots of charm and character. Stayed for four nights with my wife and adult children, and had a great time."

Kilford Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was not perfectly clean, but the view was beautiful, and the location was perfect- right in between the bus stop and the main attractions of the city. So close to everything! The staff was kind enough to keep our luggage while we toured after we had checked out. The pub was perfect after a day of wandering"

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay as always."

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."

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was not the best experience. Lots of getting up and down to collect items and get tea/ coffee. It was the only 4 star hotel on our trip where hot drinks were not served at the table. Unusual hot food service where the hot food buffet was cut off by a barrier and could not be accessed individually but had to wait in line until a server came over when they were free"

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"great gym, good access to downtown, great breakfast"

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect, old school, historic hotel in the most charming town. I wish we'd been able to stay longer."

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."

Woodford Dolmen Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to town of Carlow"
