Hotel Kilkenny
"Breakfast food and service best thing about hotel. Otherwise disappointing in comparison with other hotels in Ireland, some quite a bit less expensive. Room definitely needs refurbishing, especially bathroom--a bit shabby. Bar and restaurant service lackluster and food okay but not great. Good location. ..."

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel
"The hotel has a great location just steps from pubs and shopping. Parking is across the street in a multi-use lot but is reasonably priced. The pool area is nice as well. I found the staff to be a little standoff-ish; I wish that they had been a little friendlier."

Kilford Arms Hotel
"Great position in town and parking at the rear of the hotel, which is very convenient as there isn’t anywhere in town to park. Hotel food in the bar is ace."
