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.
Pillows
Spotlessly clean. Warm and the best shower Iv ever had anywhere. Water pressure is amazing. Central and walking distance to everywhere.
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.
Great location
The room was too hot and because of that was uncomfortable and difficult to sleep
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!
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
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.
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
Value for money, good location. Bath was a nice bonus
Room was cold
Excellent breakfast & dinners. Central location. Helpful staff
Heating packed up one night but quickly remedied next day
Breakfast was excellent. Location is very good
Some parts of hotel a little shabby.
Very relaxed place to stay. Comfortable and clean. Great pub and grub.
We arrived around 4pm .There was a lovely warm feeling within the Bar and Reception.The staff greeted us and check in was the most swift I've ever experienced. 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. Breakfast this morning 24th January omg the staff were so efficient nothing was a problem and the selection of food was brilliant .Keep doing what all of you are doing brilliant your all a great team .Many thank.Doreen and Theresa.
Location was good. Friendly and helpful customer service. Room was clean
Hard to find the parking lot to park the car
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.
