Had afternoon tea in langtons tea rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was disappointing. Wrap on menu says caramelised pineapple and spiced chicken. There was one tiny bit of pineapple from a tin not caramelised and chicken that looked like it was from a pack- no spices at all. Savoury food was very dry and bland. The Scone was lovely and fresh and sweet treats were tasty that were included. I’d go back again but not for afternoon tea maybe just something from the menu.

We got married in Langtons in mid July and we can’t recommend highly enough. From start to finish when we first made contact with Seán and right the way through the whole process the Langtons team were brilliant to deal with. Seán was fantastic and kept us updated throughout, providing us with tips and recommendations for all elements of our day when asked. On the day we were more than looked after and Stephen, Suzie and Michaela all helped to make our day very memorable. Our guests have all raved about the venue, food and service since. Thanks again to the entire team and we look forward to visiting again!

Fantastic stay! We were in the garden rooms and the decor was beautiful, very modern, clean, and spacious. There was an air of luxury throughout the whole stay. The location for breakfast was bright and very clean. There was a continental breakfast buffet and also a choice of cooked food that could be selected from a menu. The eggs benedict was delicious! The staff were friendly, both at breakfast and at reception. The resident's bar was lovely. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Kilkenny.

My husband , my daughter and myself had afternoon tea here a few weeks ago and it was awful. The sandwiches were stale and far too cold, they were made that morning and put into a fridge and were tasteless. The scones were tasteless too. I can honestly say it was the worst afternoon tea we ever had. It had to be paid in full when booked, I now know why as it is so bad you won’t get your money back. We will never return. Staff were nice though.

On the 20th of March, at 8 am, my father breathed his last breath. Devastated, my brothers and sister and left Lukes hospital to go somewhere to decompress, and perhaps get something to eat and a coffee, as we had been up all night. We all arranged to go straight to Langtons and meet there for breakfast. At 8.15 we asked Sasha at Langtons reception where we could go to get breakfast. He checked if we were residents of the hotel, and when we said that we weren't, he said that it would not be possible for us to have breakfast. When we explained that we had just lost our father and that we had to wait there for the other members of our family to join us from the hospital, and asked if we could have a cup of tea whilst we waited. We were told that that was not available to us either. So there we sat, as Sasha cheerfully busied himself with his work. At 8.30, my brother and his wife arrived, and at the same time, a more mature lady joined Sasha behind the counter. I went up to her, and explained what had just happened. She did not disagree with Sasha, and at 8.30am, it seemed that another member of Langtons staff could not provide even a cup of tea for us in this dreadful situation. And whilst I spoke to this woman, Sasha interrupted with reasons for his actions. In the end, in my frustration, I told him to f*** off, to which he replied, as we exited, "Have a nice day!", in a sarcastic sing-sing voice. We found ourselves out on the footpath, on the worst day of our lives, outside one of the most established hotels in Kilkenny, unable to buy even a cup of tea to ease the effects of the long vigil that we had kept for our Dad. Langtons, is this how you want to treat your locals? Are you a hospitality that pulls out all the stops only for visitors and tourists? Due to the trauma of our treatment on that day, I have not been inside your doors since. Below is a picture of my father, performing at Langtons Set Theatre, just before lockdown. He died at 100 years of age, still clever and vibrant, and this is the picture we had on his coffin. Ann…

Gotta be Honest here Folks! I've had many a great night downstairs in the Nightclub, I've had many great meals in the restaurant, and Eddie the owner is fabulous business man. But all in all I was quite shocked at first by the price that was advertised for last Friday nights Stay, and then by the Room that I was given at said price. I stayed here attending the 50 Years Of Kilkenny Hockey Club ball last week and as I was travelling from Dublin made the sensible decision to book in for the night and have a short commute up the stairs at the end of the night. Check in was smooth and professional and I was given the Keys to Room 1. Well folks to say it was like travelling back in time to the 1950s would be an understatement. The Rooms On Online Websites (Including Tripadvisor) that are advertised are Clearly the newer/more recently refurbished rooms. Room 1 and from what I could see into other rooms on the same floor I was on while the Housekeepers were cleaning is definitely not quite up to that standard. Tiny in size, and Furniture that is extremely outdated. Now Credit where credit is due when it comes to the room, Bed was very comfortable and shower fabulous, but again the bathroom was very dated, and to be frank I felt a little bit let down given the price paid for the room. I'm an honest man and folks as I said at the start, this place definitely know how to throw a party downstairs. The event downstairs was fantastic, a two course meal of Beef and Assiete of Deserts before dancing the night away until the early hours of the morning. The Next morning I was on the road early, but did get a chance to grab a breakfast of Eggs Benedict which was delicious. Another thing to note guys is the staff here are superb. Sean I believe his name was behind the bar went above and beyond for me in particular but you know what, I couldn't fault anyone when it came to the service downstairs. Look Guys Overall, downstairs was brilliant, upstairs for what I paid was disappointing. I've shared images of my Room, Is the Price Right? I as a fellow hotelier don't believe so. Will I be back, Probably not to stay, but guys if your looking for the Best night out in Kilkenny, or even just a great meal for Lunch or Dinner, or even a fancy breakfast, this is the place to Go! …
