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.

    Kilkenny is really lovely town, very pretty and highly walkable. We were only there for 2 days/1 night as almost at end of our holiday and enroute back to Dublin. I would suggest 2 nights in Kilkenny would be nice.

    We stayed in Kilkenny as part of a whirlwind tour of southern Ireland. Unfortunately it was way too short of a visit. I loved our B&B and our host Robert. He could not have been more accommodating or provided a better experience. The cafe in the Design Center was welcoming and the fare delicious. Way too much to see and experience in one day. Only disappointment was the fact that the laundry from the 1800's was c!osed to visitors. The self guided audio tour was helpful in describing the conditions of the workers there I would have liked to experience of seeing the conditions inside as I am writing an historical fiction about the Famine.

    The castle and gardens are definitely worth a trip a is the brewery. I enjoyed the museum and the cathedrals. The road train is a good way to have an initial look around. Kilkenny is a lovely place with lots to explore. I ended my stay with a boat trip on the river which was definitely worth doing.
