The estate is beautiful and we enjoyed walking on one of the foot paths around the grounds. The room is large. The beds were small but firm and comfortable. My son loved the pool. The breakfast was decent.

The staff was so gracious because we had to leave at 7AM to catch our flight from the Dublin Airport, we were given breakfast bags to go since breakfast didn't open as of 7AM.

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.

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 .

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.
The rooms were massive, and for an older property, everything at Butler house was surprisingly fresh, clean and updated while keeping the classic feel of a historical hotel. It is also central to everything important in Kilkenny and an easy walk to visit those sites. We would absolutely stay again at Butler House.
Easy check in with code for keys ,beautifully decorated room & en suite , it felt like we were first to book it the level of cleanliness was that high
Lovely touches with lemon water in carafe by bed , porridge oats & fresh milk in mini fridge.
10 mins walk to city centre ,value for money was exceptional
Friendly staff. Room was spotless. Good location, less than 10 mins drive from city centre.
As a coeliac, I was impressed with the gluten free options for breakfast. Dedicated g.f. area with toaster, 2 types of cereal, nice bread for toasting and good options at hot counter.
The layout of the apartment was great, the rooms were spacious with great views of the city. Easy access to the station, shopping centre and city centre was a bonus.
It was clean and lovely little touches like butter and jam sachets, but the scones were a very welcome treat.
This is definitelya good place to stay. With an amazing breakfast and heartwarming crew. Our room had plenty space and all of the comfort we needed. You can easily reach the city centre up in a few minutes of walk.
Check in was easy, property was very clean and staff were very helpful. Rooms were also very modern.
Perfect location, close to the bus stop which you use to and from Dublin airport and in the city centre.
We liked the use of the leisure facilities, the seating area at reception and the duty manager at breakfast was great. It was right in the city Centre, perfect location and nothing was too much effort.
The hotel was wonderful. Staff was friendly, rooms clean and spacious, bed comfortable. It was very nice having the bar in the hotel for an evening snack and drink. We did not do the breakfast option.
Fantastic location, right in the city centre. Triple room was v spacious, huge double bed. Beautiful artwork on the walls, lovely garden out the back with direct access to the Kilkenny Design studios.
Very central hotel, walking distance to city centre. Ample parking. Hotel staff were so helpful. Breakfast was delicious. very comfortable beds. Very modern room with tea/coffee facilities.
Very clean and comfortable rooms. A very modern and well kept hotel. Excellent value. Located within an industrial park so lots of parking and close to the centre of town.
