The newly renovated Glendine Inn is fast becoming one of Kilkenny’s best known establishments for Dining/Accommodations and atmosphere.

Convenient accommodation in Kilkenny, not far from center, in a quiet location. The room was nice and clean. Beds are comfortable. There's a big restaurant/pub on the ground floor, which is very convenient. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Check-in is flexible, so it's suitable for later arrivals as well. There's some WiFi but we did not check the details. We would be happy to come back again.

Market Slip House in Kilkenny features accommodations with free Wifi a 10-minute walk from Kilkenny Railway Station, 12 miles from Mount Juliet Golf Club, and 21 miles from Carrigleade Golf Course.

Great location. Great set up, larger room, big bathroom, closet to hang clothes, small sink and fridge. There was also a table with two chairs. Perfect for walking anywhere in Kilkenny. Loved that you can open the windows. You need a code to get in the door from outside, and there is well lit narrow carpeted steps/hallway to the room, which has a code entry as well.

In the center of Kilkenny, The Rafter's Gastropub is a 1-minute walk from Kilkenny Castle. It has rooms with free Wi-Fi, an award-winning bar, a rooftop terrace and a restaurant.

My husband and I stayed one night passing through Kilkenny and enjoyed our time here. The owner was very nice and accommodating. After exploring, we came back to the pub to have dinner and it was pretty quiet (probably because it was a Tuesday) but enjoyable. We took a pint up to their beer garden which was really nice! The next morning they had breakfast waiting for us before we left. Overall great stay.

Billycan Guest Rooms in Kilkenny provides accommodations with free Wifi a 9-minute walk from Kilkenny Castle, 12 miles from Mount Juliet Golf Club, and 20 miles from Carrigleade Golf Course.

We had a lovely stay at Billycan Guest Rooms. The room was spotlessly clean and very cozy. I liked the wall-to-wall carpet too. The host set up the homely room with tea, coffee etc. You will have everything you need in the room. The bed was very comfortable, I slept so well. The shower was very good, and it was a plus to have a heater in the bathroom! The Wi-Fi connection was very fast. It was very easy to check-in & out. The location was excellent, right in the middle of the town, 6 minutes walk to Kilkenny MacDonagh sation, 8 minutes walk to Kilkenny Castle. If I come back to Kilkenny in the future, I would love to stay in this hotel again. I would highly recommend staying at Billycan Guest Rooms!

Seconds away from the River Nore and Kilkenny Castle, The Waterfront Townhouse Accommodations provides well-appointed rooms in a city center location. Guests can enjoy free WiFi.

This was old. Shower small. Sink faucet loose. No chair. No table. Not even a hook to hang a jacket. Bed was comfortable. The maid was very pleasant as she helped us get in our room because I was sent the wrong code. (Thank goodness she was still there as it was after 4pm checkin). There is no staff and no breakfast. It is only a room

    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.
