Langtons Hotel Kilkenny, hotel in Kilkenny

Langtons Hotel Kilkenny is located in the heart of medieval Kilkenny, within walking distance of Kilkenny Castle, shopping, the theater, and bars.

It's an obviously old building, which was very cool. The staff were friendly, especially in the restaurant, which had good food--the breakfast was great and the morning staff were so friendly. The location was quite good as well. We were warned that it may be loud at night due to the bar downstairs and the lively crowds, but it was actually nicely quiet, even when the live music was going. Also they have on-site parking.

FAQs about hotels in Kilkenny








Craic Larger Than Medieval Life

Spirited Kilkenny was Ireland’s capital in the Middle Ages and although many monuments remain from back then, it’s now best known for the 'craic'. Kilkenny cream ale flows in pubs forming part of its legendary nightlife and tours of Smithwick’s showcase Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, on grounds containing the St Francis Abbey ruins.

Kilkenny has the most medieval churches in Ireland. Dating to the 13th-century are the Black Abbey and St Canice’s Cathedral, next to the Round Tower - the only remains of a 9th-century monastery founded by the saint.

Medieval streets, inns and wall remnants still stand, but the most impressive attraction is Kilkenny Castle, in large gardens by the River Nore. The 3-turreted fortress was a former home of the once powerful Butler family.

The Parade leads from here past high street shops to The Tholsel – the porticoed town hall. The Elizabethan merchants’ residence Rothe House is in a similar style. Wandering the colourful streets you can’t fail to notice buildings named after cats, a reference to the residents’ dogged determination. Local hurling team The Cats play at Nowlan Park, and the city hosts the annual Cat Laughs comedy festival, amongst others.

Booking.com’s Kilkenny accommodation includes hotels with spas and pools, and city centre guest houses near the train station.

    The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old is largely intact and well worth a visit even if you think you are not a 'history person'. Guided tour is worthwhile. Also visit the artists workshops in the stables complex opposite as well as adjacent park and gardens. After the castle go to the related St. Canice's Cathedral. The streets between still have a historic character with old buildings and shop fronts and plenty of places to shop, eat and drink with a predominance of independent traders. Kilkenny is compact and easy to walk round but people with mobility difficulties should check as some parts are steep or served by steps. Kilkenny is close to the main motorway network and would make a good touring base.

    We visited for a boys weekend away, 9 years after our last visit and it did not disappoint. So many great independent bars to work your way through, all in close proximity, most with an authentic Iriah feel to them. As usual, the Irish welcome is excellent with live music on tap too. Great place for a boozy weekend.

    An old medieval town that is not overly touristed.

    An old medieval town that is not overly touristed. Lots of lively pubs with friendly local people. I enjoy late night walks and this city seemed completely safe to enjoy at all hours. If you have a car the Rock of Cashel is about an hour away and well worth the trip.

    Private, it was like a small apartment with all the amenities you could ask for like full size fridge washing machine tumble driver, everything was clean, the rooms were stylish. I would love to return one day. Also the city centre was basically a two minute walk, so many things so close by. Gives you independence a hotel can’t give.

    Although the room was smallish, this was thee only hotel that provided us with washcloths in the whole of Ireland. The staff was friendly and the Bar was one of my in hotel favorites. It was a short walk to the sites but if they ever open The Smithwick Brewery back up, it will be prime real estate.
