"Excellent stay as always."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"great gym, good access to downtown, great breakfast"

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."

"Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice."

"Large clean room. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Breakfast was Amazing. Dinner was very good very large portions. Only downfall was the pool was closed for renovations nothing on website about this only found out at the hotel."

Glendine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was excellent filled with Irish hospitality at its finest. Our meals were wonderful, accommodations for gluten free was met with ease and tasty. Breakfast was delicious and the service again was outstanding. Our room was newly renovated with very comfortable beds, clean with the added bonus of a common kitchen area where we were able to play cards comfortably. Lucas was outstanding and helpful with directions, recommendations and a large bag of ice for us Canadians. Great location."
