Situated within 600 metres of Kilkenny Castle and less than 1 km of Kilkenny Railway Station in the centre of Kilkenny, Market Slip House features accommodation with free WiFi and seating area.

There was a very strong smell of sewerage in the apartment throughout our stay so we had to leave windows open through the night which meant we could hear traffic and night life very clearly even with complimentary ear plugs in. Location was fantastic and the apartment would have been great apart from this.

    Great location. Owner/host - Pat was a great host. Breakfast options were amazing including organic eggs from his hens and home made bread. Room was well equipped. Loved everything about this stay. Thanks Pat & to his staff.

    A few steps away from the city center, parking included just behind the structure. The guesthouse is finely furnished and the host provides some complementarities, which is always appreciated. The bed was very comfy!

    We stayed only one night in this welcoming quiet B&B within walking distance to the city center. Kind hosts and cute little dog. Good breakfast in the morning. Comfortable beds and warm shower. We would definitely come back.

    The rooms in this quaint house are very pretty- tasteful decor, warm, and welcoming. They aren't big but my single room was just right for me and my friend's double room worked for them as a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was quiet. Coffee/tea pot tea/coffee was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive and check in is via door code so no need to meet up with them to get the key. Short walk into the center of town, so great location. Easy parking on site.
