River Court Hotel in Kilkenny

I recently stayed at the River Court Hotel and had a really lovely experience. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a great variety of options to suit all tastes. Most of all, the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating,friendly, professional, and always willing to assist. A great central location and a warm welcome made it a memorable stay. Highly recommend!

An absolute pleasure to stay, so welcoming and friendly. Location was perfect as one of our friends hurt her leg beforehand. Have to mention Phil, a great ambassador for the hotel. She was so nice and friendly. Lovely to meet her.

It feels like you're in the Middle Ages. It's a very different and beautiful hotel. I loved it.

Really quick and easy check in, fab buffet for breakfast. Rooms are a decent size. I didn’t interact with the staff much so can’t really comment on that. Check out was swift also. Huge bathrooms with big baths

Last month , We hosted a pre wedding family get together for our daughter Mia at the Rivercourt Hotel. We could not praise the hotel Highly enough. From the very first phone call to commence with the organising to the good bye the morning after the event, Each and every one of the staff were out on their own, providing 5 Star service to each of the 35 family members. . A special Shout out to Sharon , Ciara , Noel - you were amazing and made it so special for our family. The event room was top class , the dinner was superb , but the staff on duty made it for us. Thanks again. You are all amazing. You have a great thing going in your hotel , you, the staff make the hotel the success that it is. Well done

Our 4th time staying. Great location and friendly service. Great patio/outside space next to river but fills up in fine weather. No table service and the bar queues can be long.

We had a truly enjoyable stay at the Kilkenny River Court Hotel in March 2025. The location is stunning – with a breathtaking view of the castle and easy access to the heart of Kilkenny. The highlight of our visit, however, was the exceptionally friendly and attentive staff. Every interaction felt warm and genuine. From check-in to breakfast, we felt well cared for and welcome. We would gladly return – and highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, charm, and real Irish hospitality.

Great hotel! Superb location behind the castle! Breakfast with a view of the castle Very quiet, very well located Top-notch value for money.

It was our first time in the River court Hotel. The 1st thing that struck us was the warm, friendly, welcoming staff. Everyone we encountered were fantastic. .The food and drink was fantastic. It was our first but definitely not our last visit.

Fabulous location with a beautiful river view. Ideal location for a wedding in Kilkenny
