This is my first review but hopefully not my last. We stayed in this hotel on a recent trip to Ireland to visit family. Its quite decieving from the front as it opens up in to quite a large hotel. The staff are very helpful and the location is ideal for exploring Kilkenny. We had a family room which was... more

For a celebratory weekend event I booked 6 of my family members to stay in this hotel, primarily because they wanted to avoid low standards previously encountered in B&Bs. Unfortunately, the Kilford Arms was a big mistake - shoddy decor, mouldy dirt around the shower doors, multiple flies left visible in the bathroom light-shades, peeling wallpaper, not to mention the... more

I stayed here at the weekend with my husband and I am so dissapointed. Our room was old with a stale smell, overlooking the car park. The mattress was in the most awful state leaving us crippled in the morning. There were two women smoking in the corridor, not surprised as there was a big dirty ashtray next to the... more

We were given a family room despite only booking a double. The room was in the new wing and it was large, clean with good decor. We cannot fault the room. There are two large bars and a restaurant within the complex. We spent time in both bars and the staff were excellent, the new super-bar has the best outside... more

I love staying in the Kilford. I have stayed there several times through the years and it is always a wonderful experience. The location is brilliant - so close to everything. The restaurant has the most amazing decor with a great atmosphere and really great food. The staff are always friendly, sweet and very helpful. more

The bars are great and the decor is amazing! The atmosphere was really good and we all had really good nights there. I really like that there... more

O'Faolains Bar was amazing and the atmosphere was very lively. When we wanted something a bit quiter we just went across to PVs pub. It was great that everything... more

I have stayed in the Kilford several times and cannot fault the hotel for its service, location or friendly staff. Location is right in the center of the city and the bar in the hotel is amazing. We stayed for two nights and ate in the hotel both nights, the food was great and would recommend if you were staying... more

Have to say that this about my third or fourth visit to Kilkenny and each time I find the Kilford an ideal hotel to serve my purposes be they work or pleasure, midweek or weekend. Staff yet again were friendly and helpful. Breakfast and especially dinner were of a very high standard. Rooms of a sufficient size and very clean.... more
