Overall Ratings & Reviews Kilford Arms Hotel

Lovely, quirky hotel, built around remains of old church. Very friendly, helpful, staff throughout. Lovely food. Amazing cacophony of rooms, many bars, breakfast room, massive dance halls, night club, and many more.

Spacious room with comfortable bed. Paid for the buffet breakfast, lots of selection. Convenient location, about 5 min walk from bus station and to old town. There was a step inside my room right after opening door. Tripped over it once. Should put yellow masking tape on the carpet step.

Nice, clean hotel with friendly staff right in the middle of town. Easy walk to everything.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay there no complaints whatsoever 🙂

Good basic hotel, breakfast was pretty good for a buffet style Friendly staff at the desk Can't say much more as we just used it as a base for a couple of days

The Kilford Arms was an amazing quaint hotel. Was very central and close to many pubs and walkable sites. Hotel was clean and everyone was helpful and accommodating. Was a very nice touch that parking was behind the hotel and was free

Central and good value. Staff excellent. There was some creaky floorboards, but other than that it was perfect.

Fun decor

A great convenient hotel close to the train station and easy walking distance to the Kilkenny Castle, thw Medieval Mile, and Smithwicks brewery. The included daily breakfasts in the restaurant had a wide variety of choices and were very tasty. There are plenty of pubs nearby for dinners and the other thing that we found very useful was the nearby Brett's laundrette where you can get a good-sized load of clothes washed, dried and folded for 20 Euros.

Great location. Plenty of bars and pubs nearby. Close to all the city's highlights. Free parking. Atmosphere is lively in the hotel bars, with live musicians. However, located on a busy road so it gets quite noisy late at night and early in the morning. No AC so need to keep windows open despite the noise...

People were very nice and accommodating.Will stay again

This hotel is has the feeling of being in a castle, but is located right along a main street in Kilkenny with easy walking to dining, pubs, and shopping, as well as the Kilkenny Castle. We only stayed one night, but it was a great stopover as we traveled from Dublin to Cork.

If you like a party this is the hotel .lively and a party mood .

A return visit to this hotel for a one night business trip. Nice hotel. Very clean with good staff and in a good location. Third visit here and would stay again. Good value for money.

This was a very busy hotel and location for Hen parties. Music in the evening was loud and carried to the rooms. Staff very friendly, hotel was dated but close to points of interest.

Very handy for nightlife

The staff was very welcoming and accommodating. The location was excellent as it was a short walking distance to all of the tourist areas and attractions. We appreciated the free on site parking. The breakfast was wonderful and the beer garden was a very nice area in which to relax. The windows in our room were very dirty and little bugs gathered around the lights at night. It was also very noisy as the music from the beer garden drifted up to our windows and the noise from the crowd there woke us up late at night.

The staff really make this place, especially Jean who very was friendly and helpful towards my elderly father. The hotel room was a little dated but very clean, the bar area was pleasant to sit in the evening. Breakfast was in the dining room, there is no natural light which made it feel cave like! It's a buffet breakfast, good enough choice of cereals, fruit etc but the hot food choices were over cooked and cold. This hotel is great if you are visiting a Kilkenny for a short break, it's near the railways station, shopping centre and a short walk into the city centre. I would stay here again but on a room only basis.

Nice hotel, good food at the restaraunt.

its ok, a bit tired, in the area, in general service isn't going to be Japan or USA type, nothing wrong, room is years past remodel but good location, of course no fridge in room, no ac, but it will work, I would say for heavy drinker that wants pub in ground floor and that drinking is priority its ok.
