Unfortunately we had only one night here - we were attending a dinner in the town and did not have too long to enjoy the amenities. Check in was very friendly and efficient, our room was excellent - we had actually been upgraded to a suite which was beautifully furnished and wonderful views of the river and castle. Breakfast next... More

Our room faced the river but it was so small it was pathetic. I had reserved a deluxe room. Right! Wait. I have not gotten to the worse part. It was a Saturday night and the music played until 12:30. Do not stay here unless you are in your 20's and want to party all night. We were never advised... More

Wow! This was a popular hotel. We stayed only one night, a Saturday night but there were several events going on the same time: wedding, red hat gathering, large family reunion. Lots of people and lots of fun! As stated in other reviews, the hotel is located just across the river from the Kilkenny Castle and on one of the... More

Had a great stay at the River Court. I went for the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival. It was a Bank Holiday W/E in Ireland. Room, Breakfasts and facilities were excellent. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They had their own entertainment laid on for the W/E which did go on late but it was simply a case of joining in... More

Very nice hotel with a lot of sytle and local Irish flavor. With a room overlooking the Kilkenny Castle it's easy to imagine the times gone by. The staff were very helpful in recommending restaurants and local highlights. The patio along the river overlooking the castle is perfect although the wait staff are not exactly efficient. I suggest if you... More

The location is great, the views of the castle across the river are beautiful, and the parking is easy. We stayed in a single bed (average hotel room), it was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the price was reasonable. We would have never expected it but Kilkenny was one of our favorite cities in Ireland!

Absolutely our best stop during our road tour of southern Ireland. We loved Kilkenny. Once we found that little tunnel through the building we discovered lots of parking off the main street. This place is within walking distance of many historic sites and shopping venues. We enjoyed the traditional Irish music and dancing at Matt the Millers and Kyteler's (1324... More
