I just returned from a lovely and very relaxing stay at the Kilkenny River Court Hotel and would recommend it to anybody. The food is fantastic and the view over the castle is amazing. Their rooms are very modern and honestly I can not wait to go back.

We stayed here last September for a weekend. Our room was huge, and really comfy. Breakfast was the best I've ever had at a hotel, and eating it whilst looking out at the castle was lovely first thing in the morning. Perfect location, right in the town centre, with handy car parking on site. Staff were friendly, bar was modern... More

Absolutely fantastic staff at this hotel. Can't fault the service at all. Rooms were lovely and warm and very spacious and had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Food was out of this world!! And the view of the castle from the restaurant was breath taking. Definitely go back and absolutely recommend!!

This was our first trip to Kilkenny and most certainly after our River Court experience will not be our last. Checkin was fast and efficient. Our bedroom was spotless with beautiful views of the castle and the little family of ducks that live on the river. After our long drive and with the unusual dry, warm (well slight exaggeration but...
