Set in the centre of Kilkenny, Berkeley House offers rooms with free WiFi. It is located 300 metres from Kilkenny Castle and features full-day security. The guest house has family rooms.

Quality estabishment, very central, but quiet inside, excellent continental breakfast, responsive staff, fair price for accomodation and to be honest having visited Kilkenny 15 times over the years, and stayed in many facilities, if all this remains stable, I would make this my first choice for accomodation.

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

I was given the wrong room instructions and door code, so I entered a room which had a woman asleep on the bed already. Thankfully, she was very understanding and, when I phoned management, I was told to go to a different room. However, no apology was offered. My television didn't work (no channels had been tuned). I tried to do this myself without success. I alerted management via Booking.com messaging and asked for help but received no reply.

    Glendine Inn felt like a real authentic Kilkenny stay. From the locals in the pub, to the Hurling championship memorabilia, to the staff and service - everything was excellent! Public transport is available however I chose to walk everywhere as it’s a small city with plenty of beauty to see. Highly recommend this accomodation and Kilkenny!
