River Court Hotel in Kilkenny

Lovely hotel, relaxed but attentive Irish service. Room very nice and whilst the bathroom was perfectly fine it was starting to look a tad dated. In the bar, Philipe was great on Monday evening, good chat as it was quite quiet and Helen on Wednesday morning who went out of her way to get some bar food early for me as I had a train to catch. She also sorted my taxi to the station. Will definitely be back.

Located very centrally, but the room I had was over the street, very noisy at night. Rooms very basic no safe to leave valuables when going out

This is tough… Pros: Location can’t be beat. You’re in the center of everywhere you want to go as a tourist, and at a good starting ground for those who are travelers and like to go a little bit farther. Plenty of good pubs nearby, with plenty of music. That said, you may hear some music into the evening. Nothing after midnight though. The rooms were average, nothing to write about in your journal, but Breakfast was very good with great service. Parking is tight but seemed plentiful. My biggest complaint: although we could see the castle from our room, we appeared to be situated above the garbage, so occasionally the wind carried in a funny smell and when they dumped glass it would startle you awake from a sleep. I don’t think I heard anything after midnight though. I was asleep, so I just remember having the life drained from my body a few times when they dumped barrel after barrel of glass. Ruining my sleep that poorly takes away a star.

Very good ambience and the food was delicious.

The rooms are a bit dated. On-site parking very helpful. The breakfast is pretty good. Can not beat the riverfront location. Perfect view of the Kilkenny Castle. Especially spectacular in the evening.

The hotel is very centrally located. Parking spaces are available and the ticket can be validated at reception. The breakfast was varied and the coffee was good. The only disadvantage was the soundproof rooms.

Perfect spot for a stay in Kilkenny right in the heart of the city and the view of the castle is next to none. Breakfast was very good the next morning

Enjoyed a fabulous two night visit. Comfortable rooms. Excellent and delicious breakfast each morning. All staff very attentive and friendly, couldn't do enough during stay.

Fabulous hotel great location especially with sunny weather. Staff were friendly but lacking experience.

I recently attended a wedding at the River Court Hotel in Kilkenny and had the pleasure of dining at their restaurant. The experience was nothing short of exceptional. The food was of superb quality, with tender meat and incredibly savory dishes that left a lasting impression. The staff were remarkably friendly, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the restaurant area exudes class and sophistication, making it an ideal setting for such a special occasion. I highly recommend the River Court Hotel's restaurant for anyone looking to enjoy top-notch cuisine in an elegant environment.
