6/10 Good

Basic, no-frills room.
A very average stay—the hotel is a classic old (not in a cute way for the rooms) Irish hotel. Everything is very basic, which is fine except it cost a fortune. My main issue was the bed—very uncomfortable. This is all a review of the room—the bar is charming and the people are nice.

First Time in Kilkenny - but not the last
Kilford Arms was a lovely place to stay fir our first vidut to Kilkenny. The staff were first class and all assustance was fulfilled with speed and efficiency. The room was more than adequate clean and comfortable and the hotel accessible and central - a great base for visiting nearby medieval sotes such as The Rock of Cashel and Vahir Castle. Lovely place to stay.

It's so so
Not a terrible place, but some problems for sure. One, the place is somehow over two bars at once, which are rocking all night. No sleep here (unless you also are partying all night). Two, a hidden window was left open in my room, so it was freezing in there and took a very long time to heat up. Also, there was a lot of trouble with staff communications with Hotels.com, resulting in a different number of nights being reserved than it said on the website. Communications sent through Hotels.com, or even through direct email, could take several days for response. On the plus side, the rooms are a decent size. Cleaned well enough. It's a fun neighborhood within walking distance to some cool places, and easy driving distance to some landmarks.

Everyone was very nice and the rooms are comfortable. Unfortunately there were loud, drunk people outside the hotel around 2:00 and some talking loudly on their cell going down the hall around 3:00.

When I reserved our room, I wasn’t told that we would be directly above the ballroom and that “Disco Night” would be held during our stay. We endured LOUD POUNDING music until shortly before midnight. All I got was “sorry” when I called the front desk to complain.

Check in staff was super helpful in finding the parking lot in the back of the building. Close to castle, shopping, marathon, pubs, etc. This was a great little town and would recommend this stop to anyone visiting Ireland. The food in the pub was good. The music was fun.
