Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The hotel has private parking, the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, and check in was very smooth. We had three in our room; parents and one teenager. We were very comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and served at your table by very professional staff. The room was amazing with a spectacular view of the perfectly groomed garden and Kilkenny Castle. The location made it easy to see all of the main sites within the townsite and is close to many great pubs and restaurants. A river walk is minutes away and there are plenty of quality shops. Highly recommend fish and chips at Matt the Millar's, just down the hill.

    luxurious and beautiful place in magical city of Kilkenny! I’ve been very lucky to book a room there spontaneously as it is almost impossible to find a free room at Butler’s House, unless someone resigned. absolutely must have a delicious breakfast and afternoon tea in the garden outside! highly recommend!

    Excellent, luxury accommodation with superb 5 star facilities. Friendly and accommodating hosts who go the extra mile to please. Convenient city centre location and right next to the award winning Aroi Asian Fusion Restaurant. Had a birthday meal there and Don and the team made it a really special and memorable occasion. Would highly recommend this apartment!
