Rafter'S Gastropub

Staff were great, very friendly. Lovely breakfast, filled us for the day

Beautiful cosy room, well located in city centre and all the staff were brilliant, very professional in what they did. Best breakfast I’ve had in a long time and cooked to order so much better than a buffet. Highly recommend the place and hopefully I’ll be back.

Ok

The room was absolutely impeccable. The breakfast was delicious and we really enjoyed having breakfast in the atmosphere of the pub. Best breakfast up to now. The owner is really nice! The only thing was the noise; we wanted to sleep early but as there was live music in the neighboring pub, it was rather noisy until 23:00.

Place was good. Got the job done. Helpful friendly staff

Great location and very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value.

Great place!

To badeværelser og fire senge på værelset.

Staff was very nice. Great value. Rooms and hotel clean, but beds were not the most comfortable. Right around the corner from shops and castle. Parking was about a block away, very doable.

Great breakfast and great location in the centre of town.

Chambre bien située dans le centre à proximité d'un parking accessible et à 3€ la journée. Le logement était un peu bruyant à cause d'un moteur de climatisation sous la fenêtre. Petit déjeuné correct.

Alloggio molto caratteristico all’interno di un pub nel pieno centro di Kilkenny. Consigliatissimo!

The room had two bathrooms but the toilet in one didn't work and they did't fix it. There is no on-site laundry as stated in the Hotels.com description. The internet doesn't work except for local providers. Also our roaming didn't work there only outside on the street. I needed the internet so we had to leave and book another hotel. The owner is horrible and kept our $400!!!

Un lieu chaleureux où nous avons pu profiter de l’ambiance du pub. Une super adresse !

Cute convenient location above the pub. Had great entertainment that evening with live music. Food was delicious at the pub. No parking on site. The parking garage next door does not allow for parking over night. We parked .5 miles down the road at a parking lot. Beds we a little lumpy but the location was ideal

We stayed at Rafter's for our first night in Ireland, and it was a great start to the trip. The location was perfect, only about a five minute walk to Kilkenny Castle. Gerry was an awesome host, he made us feel so welcome and even invited my mother-in-law behind the bar to make an Irish coffee to compete with his. After dinner, we had a drink at the pub and there was live music; it only played until 9:30, so it didn't keep us from sleeping! The breakfast was included and there were many options, all amazing and made fresh. Would recommend to anyone looking for a more authentic Kilkenny experience.

Wasn’t happy with rooms.

We enjoyed our stay. It is a lively part of town, and we were there during the Music Festival. There was some maintenance to be done, and I have privately messaged the owner in hopes it is can be fixed so others do not have the same problem.

We had one night here. The wifi was down which makes life tough when traveling. The room was big. It was mostly clean. Some stains on the carpet. The breakfast was good and staff were nice. Not too noisy but it was a week night. Good shower and hot water/pressure
