    Town centre, free parking, spacious room. One of the few remaining places you can still get roast beef for dinner. Full Irish breakfast. Everything was perfect.

    Spotlessly clean. Warm and the best shower Iv ever had anywhere. Water pressure is amazing. Central and walking distance to everywhere.

    4MurrayPosted on: 2-8-2026

    The staff were friendly and polite.

    There was an issue with hot water for the shower although you could have a bath. We bought the full Irish breakfast and it was overcooked and dried out.

    7MargaretPosted on: 2-7-2026

    Great location

    The room was too hot and because of that was uncomfortable and difficult to sleep

    10MariePosted on: 2-5-2026

    Warm, clean room and lots of sockets and lighting. Comfy bed. Everything worked 100%. Close to the centre.

    If I was to pick a flaw its the bathroom could do with an upgrade. Saying that it was a lovely shower and it was all perfect!

    9MaryPosted on: 2-3-2026

    The staff were very attentive and friendly. It was a very clean place and ideally located near to train station and Kilkenny castle. The food was lovely. Room was spacious, clean and tea making services was a delightful bonus.There was live music in the bar which was really good. It was a great stay

    The only thing I didn't like was the good oul irish rain

    9EithnePosted on: 2-1-2026

    Lovely staff. .Great location.. Good bar.

    Sounds crazy,but the bedroom was very hot, tried turning down radiator and had to open windows.The continental breakfast could be better, nicer pastries.

    1JohnPosted on: 1-27-2026

    Booked room and paid for it through Booking.com went to check inn and was told by the Bar man that I couldn’t have possibly booked the room that is was too late when I booked it even do I had the receipt and confirmation of booking was refused entry as a result had to book a room in the river court hotel very disappointed with the kilford arms will never try to stay there again

    Staff very unhelpful

Our room was very tastefully designed and a bigger than normal .Spotless clean bathrooms was beautiful not a thing out of place.Very large open wardrobe area Plenty of hangers.Tea making facilities went down a treat after coming in from the Rain .The Double and Single beds were absolutely amazing the best nights sleep ever and the pillows were fabulous the heat was on which we truly appreciate can't wait to go back Roll on July 2026.we also ate there before we headed out to see Onior Donegal modern folk Group playing in the town .fabulous food and very reasonably priced.

    Great location for walking Kilkenny. Room was clean and spacious.

    Our room was located above the beer garden and the noise kept us awake until the beer garden closed.
