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.

We enjoyed the Butler breakfast. We liked being able to go through the garden area and cross the street to visit Kilkenny Castle. Butler House was richly appointed and is of historical value. The staff was very accommodating, and the location could not be beat. We would not hesitate to come back for a visit.

In the Kilkenny City Centre district of Kilkenny, close to Kilkenny Railway Station, Penthouse Apartment features free WiFi and a washing machine. Guests staying at this apartment have access to a balcony. The property is 400 metres from Kilkenny Castle, and within 100 metres of the city centre.

I love this place and I always booked when available in Kilkenny. Is the best that you can get in the city. Better than anything. It s a very luxurious, warm, quiet place, with amazing views of the city. You have everything you need just down the apartment from restaurants, coffee shops, hairdressers, and Dunnes stores. Is an amazing, huge apartment, decorated to the smallest details. With plenty of towels, toilet paper, shower gel, washing powder, coffee, milk, and bread. Literary dream place. And the owner is such a sweetheart, a really lovely person, always responds to any request and does anything to make your stay brilliant. thank you

Newlands Lodge has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Kilkenny, 7.4 km from Kilkenny Castle. 10 km from Kilkenny Railway Station and 13 km from Mount Juliet Golf Club, the property features a garden and a terrace. This 4-star guest house offers private entrance.

The welcome was very warm and kind. She showed us a room where we could have a drink whenever we wanted and with nice Easter eggs. The room was very spacious and very clean, not to mention the excellent bedding where once under the comforter you didn't want to move. The bathroom with shower was perfect and bright and very clean with different elements for comfort. The breakfast was very copious and with fresh products. Honestly I can't think of a single negative point. Our host gave us information for visits in the area and explanations on different sites to visit. I recommend her with my eyes closed and thank her for her thoughtfulness and kindness. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

    Such a nice little apartment. Everything you could need and lovely little touches from the owners like fresh milk in the fridge. Very luxuriously decorated with a little outside area and fully equipped kitchen. Everything wws very clean. And lots of books! One of the nicest showers I've ever had, it was like a 5 star hotel. The owners were so helpful to deal with, answering questions very promptly. It's a short walk to the very centre of Kilkenny.

    We booked a family room that was outstandingly great and fulfilling all our needs. It's a big room which is also equipped with a little kitchen. We could park in front of the house, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and be 15 minutes away from Kilkenny City center. Oliver was a superb host, always paying attention to every detail, and making sure that our stay would be phenomenal. He recommended us a pub where we could enjoy live music.

    We really loved everything about our two night stay at Butler House. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the hotel is elegant, yet also not so upscale that it makes you feel out of place. An old building means smaller rooms however we found it perfect for us and our needs. Breakfast both mornings was perfect, both in taste and presentation. The hotel’s location is also perfect, closely located in the main intersection of town and within walking distance of everything. We'll definitely come again!

    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!
