Top Southeast Ireland Hotel Reviews

Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall a Safe choice, spacious bedrooms and ensuites. Clean and cosy with some quirky stylish decor in breakfast/coffee area. Competitively priced rooms, 25mins walk from kilkenny city center but also with the addition of the KK2 bus stop for the public bus route running every 30 minutes to and from the city being only a few minutes walk away from the hotel door to assist those with tired legs. It has a very comfortable and well stocked bar, helpful staff and the bar food is tasty but admittedly the menu could do with a little more imagination. I would and will return although I feel this property has the potential to be so much more with a little professional advice on how to up its game while also attracting extra custom and revenue. It's in close proximity to two large hospitals and some local targeted advertising to expand and up the usage of their very pleasant cafe and bar/restaurant would be a start. Thought could also be given to installation of some EV charging points to their carpark with customer priority as at present the nearest EV chargers are over 2km away. Rediculously neither of the close by hospitals provide EV charging. I'm sure a professional could add a whole lot more to this list of potential improvements to make this nice little hotel really shine, but for the moment as it stands it still remains a good, clean and sensible choice for those looking for a good value accommodation close to kilkenny city."
