Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. This is quite possibly one of the loveliest places we have ever stayed in all of our travels. It is beautiful space—well decorated and spotless—and our room was spacious and comfortable. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the breakfasts are delicious and generous. We would be delighted if we could return and stay again.

In the shadow of Kilkenny Castle, the Hibernian Hotel is in the heart of Kilkenny city. Originally the Hibernian Bank, this building overlooks the Parade, popular because it's close to Kilkenny Castle and the Kilkenny Design Centre. The breakfast was fabulous with a wide array of options. The beds were very comfortable. The bar and music on Friday night was excellent and made for a fun atmosphere. Staff were attentive, kind, and helpful!

With free parking and free WiFi, this stylish hotel is located on Kilkenny's ring road, a 20-minute walk from Kilkenny city centre. Guests can enjoy full Irish breakfasts and rooms with Hypnos beds and power showers. We arrived down from Dublin airport after a delayed flight as the restaurant was closing - the receptionist Savio (?) voluntarily went and asked the kitchen staff if they would delay finishing so we could be served, they did and we were able to enjoy a great meal. Johnny the waiter was also very helpful and obliging, The room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The mattress and pillows were also very comfortable. There was an extensive selection at breakfast to choose from with good coffee. Checkout was quick and friendly. Wonderful staff and a comfortable stay.
