Stayed there only one night, we had the Bed and Breakfast rate which made it very affordable for us. The terrace overlooking the river and castle can't be beat. The room was clean and extremely comfortable. We were sorry that we were staying for only one night. The breakfast was buffet with the typical choices. The food was very good.... more

My Daughters gave me a voucher for my 60th Birthday for the River Court Hotel in Kilkenny. When we arrived the staff were so friendly and helpful. When we got to our room we had been given The Earl Of Ormond Suite.[at no extra cost]. We were on the Golden Oldies Package.We were so impressed with it. The Food in... more

This hotel proved to be one of my surprises during our Ireland tour this August. Its location is excellent, a few steps from town center. It has very clean rooms (although somehow old-fashioned), excellent room service, a nice and big breakfast room by the river, a very rich breakfast and, most of all, a very friendly and highly efficient staff.... more

Can't ask for a better location across the river with view of Kilkenny Castle. Restaurants and shops all within a few minutes walk. Parking is very tight, but available. Service is great and rooms are very nice. Breakfast selection was quite large in dining room overlooking river and castle. more

On our first trip to Ireland, we started with time in Dublin and then a West Cork cottage. Kilkenny was just a stopping point to break up the drive back to Dublin. It is a medieval city and has pubs and cafes galore. The hotel is right in the heart of the city, in the shadow of the castle and... more

Nice location at side of river. Great hot breakfast even though buffet style with masses of options. Main problem very very hard mattresses on beds. Minor housekeeping issues in room, stains on carpet but otherwise generally clean. Meals in restaurant pricey but you can opt to eat outside overlooking river. Penny pinching €2 exit charge from smallish courtyard car park.... more
