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.

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

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
