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.
What Guests Said About Kilkenny:

The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old...
The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old is largely intact and well worth a visit even if you think you are not a 'history person'. Guided tour is worthwhile. Also visit the artists workshops in the stables complex opposite as well as adjacent park and gardens. After the castle go to the related St. Canice's Cathedral. The streets between still have a historic character with old buildings and shop fronts and plenty of places to shop, eat and drink with a predominance of independent traders. Kilkenny is compact and easy to walk round but people with mobility difficulties should check as some parts are steep or served by steps. Kilkenny is close to the main motorway network and would make a good touring base.

We visited for a boys weekend away, 9 years after our last visit and it did not disappoint. So many great independent bars to work your way through, all in close proximity, most with an authentic Iriah feel to them. As usual, the Irish welcome is excellent with live music on tap too. Great place for a boozy weekend.

I loved this mediaeval city .bursting with history and street art , culture, and so many unique and quirky shops. I also love learning about history and loved how many different places I could see and learn about here. The highlights were the castle tour and the shennagins walking tour .Zoei MurphyIreland - 8.0Scored 8.0
An old medieval town that is not overly touristed.
An old medieval town that is not overly touristed. Lots of lively pubs with friendly local people. I enjoy late night walks and this city seemed completely safe to enjoy at all hours. If you have a car the Rock of Cashel is about an hour away and well worth the trip.

- From $187.82 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 2,343 reviewsWe started in the Garden area, which was difficult because of all the doorways and stairs we had to navigate with the wheelchair. Once we were moved to the hotel building, it was much easier. The staff was very understanding and accommodating, even moving the trundle bed for us. The breakfast was the best one on offer during the 3 weeks we visited Ireland. Your location was great - close to the train/bus station, and all the attractions were within an easy walk.
ClaireUnited States of America - 8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 39 reviewsCathy is an exceptional host and an exceptionally kind human being. She and her niece Kate were both so hospitable and made me feel very welcome. They offered me food, drinks, and even arranged a trip to the reptile museum which I thoroughly enjoyed. The rescue dogs all have very sweet temperaments and getting to pet them was an added bonus :P the location was great, a short walk from the city centre, and the room was very clean and excellent value for money.AshaGermany
