FAQs about hotels in Kilkenny
Craic Larger than Medieval Life
Spirited Kilkenny was Ireland’s capital in the Middle Ages and although many monuments remain from back then, it’s now best known for the 'craic'. Kilkenny cream ale flows in pubs forming part of its legendary nightlife and tours of Smithwick’s showcase Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, on grounds containing the St Francis Abbey ruins.
Kilkenny has the most medieval churches in Ireland. Dating to the 13th-century are the Black Abbey and St Canice’s Cathedral, next to the Round Tower - the only remains of a 9th-century monastery founded by the saint.
Medieval streets, inns and wall remnants still stand, but the most impressive attraction is Kilkenny Castle, in large gardens by the River Nore. The 3-turreted fortress was a former home of the once powerful Butler family.
The Parade leads from here past high street shops to The Tholsel – the porticoed town hall. The Elizabethan merchants’ residence Rothe House is in a similar style. Wandering the colourful streets you can’t fail to notice buildings named after cats, a reference to the residents’ dogged determination. Local hurling team The Cats play at Nowlan Park, and the city hosts the annual Cat Laughs comedy festival, amongst others.
Booking.com’s Kilkenny accommodation includes hotels with spas and pools, and city centre guest houses near the train station.

Beautiful city with tonnes of history and pretty much everything is within walking distance if you’re someone who’s older or has limited mobility. Everyone I met in the town were warm and friendly. Kilkenny castle being the obvious standout but the wee design area just across from the castle with all the bespoke shops are run by characters and very talented people! If you’re looking for a more relaxed, go at your own pace with tonnes of history then Kilkenny is perfect for a one to two nights getawayGuest review byDarrenIreland - 8.0

A lovely city with lots of charm, dining options, live music, history, and plenty of sights for a weekend getaway. Hidden gem: the butler house and gardens for a little break. The locals seemed quite friendly. A good option to visit with a family or otherwise.Guest review byMonika - 10.0

Nice atmosphere in Kilkenny with lots of choice for shopping. Kilkenny Castle was lovely. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from also. Staff helpful in shops. Parking charges weren’t too expensive either and not that hard to get around with the help of Google maps!Guest review byFrancesIreland - 10.0
Beautiful small city with lots to do and see.
Beautiful small city with lots to do and see. The castle tour is absolutely worth the time, as well as the cathedrals and climbing the tower. Restaurants close by 8pm and pubs stop serving food after 6 or 8pm so plan accordingly. Wonderful to stay for a pint after a meal and listen to live music. A wonderful town full of kind people.Guest review bySaraCanada - 10.0
Excellent medieval town.
Excellent medieval town. You can walk to all the interesting places ( not in one day) Langtons hotel/ restaurant/ tea rooms. Was excellent for dinner/afternoon tea. Plenty of cafes , side streets, river running through the center of town.Guest review byEILEENUnited Kingdom - 10.0

The location was perfect, the room was comfortable and the staff is excellent! The food in Zuni restaurant was delicious. I also ate at the Butcher. They have a diverse menu and my guest and I tried different items to share, 2 entree and a few extra sides. Some had unusual combinations of flavors. Every dish was excellent. The castle was very interesting and well maintained. Their is a ruin of an Augustinan monastery nearby that also was a wonderful site rich in history. The ton of Kilkenny is lovely to look at and has a very charming, happy vibe.Guest review byCarolUnited States
