River Court Hotel in Kilkenny

Ideal place to stay made very welcome, staff very nice, food very good I’ll be back again soon

Good location and parking at the hotel. Friendly staff and great service. Our room was right above the air conditioning units, which meant noise until 10 p.m. We tried to move to another room, but everything was fully booked. Another issue was that the parking was a bit disorganized, often blocking the entrance and exit.

We had a wonderful evening at the River Court Hotel’s outdoor drinking area. The riverside setting is truly stunning, with unbeatable views of Kilkenny Castle right across the River Nore. It’s such a relaxing place to sit back and enjoy a drink while taking in the atmosphere. The seating area is spacious and comfortable, perfect for couples, families, or friends. Staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. A fantastic spot in the heart of Kilkenny — highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind with a spectacular view.

Emma was wonderful in her service! The place is amazing.

Enjoyable 2 night stay at the River Court. We had a large room overlooking the river and a view of the castle. Although dated, it was spacious, clean and the staff were delightful at reception, breakfast & bar. Hotel and Kilkenny are very busy especially on summer weekends, the free parking is a definite bonus! The rooms were fairly pricey, but no more than other options in the area and it was a bank holiday weekend. Kilkenny itself is a great place to visit, lots of great music, restaurants & culture. Recommended!

Great location in the heart of Kilkenny. Has parking. Comfortable, clean rooms. Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Only complaint was the internet was not good.

Friendly, very cordial. Incredible service.

A very pleasant stay. Easy walk to rest of the town.

Great position, lovely staff, nice room, breakfast was great

An exceptional experience in the very heart of Kilkenny! Kilkenny River Court Hotel is not just a place to stay it’s a feeling of calm, elegance, and genuine hospitality. The location is beyond perfect with stunning views of the castle, right on the riverbank and just steps away from the city centre. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean, and the view was truly unforgettable. Breakfast was generous, delicious, and well organised, and the riverside restaurant offers a true delight for both the palate and the eyes. The service? Absolutely impressive. The staff were attentive, warm, and always willing to help with a smile especially the team at the restaurant and front desk. It’s the small touches like these that make your stay feel truly special. One idea for the future (inspired by guest feedback and the hotel’s care for all types of visitors): it would be great to offer customisable door signs such as “Quiet Please” or “Sensitive Guest” to add an extra layer of personal comfort. In short if you’re looking for elegance, comfort, and a warm welcome with one of the best views in Kilkenny the River Court Hotel is your place. Highly recommended. 😇
