Top St Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Pembroke Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient parking on site. Modern rooms. Loved the view of the castle."

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was very nice, comfortable and had a great location. Breakfast was great."

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful time! We were welcome by Ray, and from the moment we up in the car door, we were made to feel welcome at this great spot. We will look forward to coming back soon, and hope to be able to get the same bridal suite that we were surprised with!"
