I booked into the Laurels weeks ago for a friends wedding I was attending in Kilkenny. Unfortunatley my son got very ill and I was unable to go so I cancelled my reservation. When I phoned the lady I spoke with was very pleasant but she was unable to find my original reservation, she said she had other bookings for... more

I have to admit that after reading some of the reviews here I was a bit worreid that it won't be good and that we might regrate it. we stayed in room number 7, yes, the same room as the couple with the very bad review and pictures.... The room was very good! I have no idea why they wrote... more

We booked 3 rooms for € 145.00, what seemed to be a good price. But the promises on the confirmation "Tea/coffee, multi-channel tv, direct dial, telephone, iron & board on request" did not correspond. In fact, the boss of the house didn't let us in, he brought us to another guesthouse in kilkenny because there " was a mistake with... more

Website is misleading, B&B is dated, room had musty smell, only 4 channels on a portable TV. €80 for 2 for the night wasn't bad but there is also a 3% credit card charge. Breakfast was ok, overall very average and only recommended for one night. more

We had booked for 4 nights based on the quality of the web site. The room we were in (7) was very cramped and also dated with... more

We stayed here as we were attending a wedding in the hotel across the road. I can see that if you were using it as a base for the city itself, you'd find it a bit of a trek but if you are attending a function at the hotel kilkenny, it's a great base. The décor is a little tired... more

Decent food available across the road at Hotel Kilkenny. Spacious bathroom: kids loved the jacuzzi. Queen size bed was two twins joined together (a little lumpy in the middle). Decent breakfast. more

I booked two rooms at 35€/person but was finally charged 55€/person! The B&B owner did not provide any reason fot this change, arguing that 55€ is the standard price during weekends. However, in their webpage the price clearly depends on whether the rooms are "On suite" (30-45€) or "De Luxe" (40-50€). To avoid being cheated this way, be alert if... more
