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.

Kilkenny is a lovely small city right on a river.
Kilkenny is a lovely small city right on a river. We recommend taking advantage of a good walking tour. We did, and it was a perfect way to spend two hours on a sunny morning. Our guide was superb, filling us in on the history of the city with interesting and humorous stories. The castle is an excellent representation of “castles” in general, and we recommend taking the time to tour the castle. There is a very nice cafeteria/restaurant in the old Royal Stable right across from the front entrance to the castle; the food was good and the setting is wonderful.Guest review byDuane SarazinUnited States - 10.0
Smithwick’s experience was great..
Smithwick’s experience was great.. Very easy to find parking for our rental car. Sullivan’s experience was equally interesting - great food. Visit of the medieval town along with his numerous shops was quite something… Overall the friendliness of the Irish people was memorable. Great review for sure.Guest review byphilippeCanada - 10.0

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

Our room was charming and comfortable with an old-fashioned quaintness. David, our host, was very helpful and friendly and our breakfast was delicious. It is a bit of a walk into the city centre, but it’s not a difficult walk, even at night.Guest review byCherrylAustralia
