Reviews for `Kilford Arms Hotel`

Carmel scored 4 / 5 on 16/12/2024

We enjoyed our stay here. All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. The food in the bar was very good as was the wine, prices were reasonable too. It's very close to everything. I would happily book a stay here again.

John scored 3 / 5 on 03/11/2024

Staff very friendly. Clean. Breakfast very nice. Would recommend it to a friend


Dennis scored 4 / 5 on 02/11/2024

Good points: very comfortable bed, roomy, overall well presented. Breakfast experience fine. Housekeeping staff receptive/pleasant Needs attention: off putting screen at reception. Female receptionist slow to interact. Aware that this was our first visit,she did not explain that the room fob operated the lift and to exit the car park to press the button. Both situations caused unnecessary confusion as we lounged about until another guest operated the lift. In the car park we were scrambling to get coins to operate the barrier. She failed to advise to ring the doorbell to gain entry. On returning late, the bar door was locked. After a time a security guard came and showed us the doorbell. The staff were slow opening the door; this was after a teen disco which may explain the delay. Next morning the male receptionist seemed more receptive. He asked had we used the car park and he made us aware of the button to lift the barrier. I would recommend the Kilford Arms to others, but I would advise on the above situation. The above informed my generous 4 rating, as the highlighted issues can be overcome.

Breege scored 4 / 5 on 16/07/2024

Can’t fault the hotel or staff & the breakfast was very good. The room was clean & the bed was comfortable. There’s no air con but there was a fan in the room. The only thing I would say is the bathroom needed a little updating but overall we had a great stay.


Noel scored 3 / 5 on 13/07/2024

The receptionist was a lovely lady and explained everything to us on our arrival ie. Where breakfast was being served, the bars and restaurant etc. The hotel itself is basic and in need of updating. We had our evening meal in the main bar/ lounge and it was quite nice. Out of 10 I would rate our meal 6.5. The bedroom was very basic and in need of updating. Would we go back - No. Would we recommend the hotel - No.

Our third time to stay here. I have not submitted a review before but after three hassle free trips, I think that it is time. Rooms are comfy and spacious. Beds are very comfortable. Food is excellent and the service was faultless. The Hotel may be a bit Dated but this is more than compensated for with the quality of service and value for money.


Ann scored 3 / 5 on 30/10/2023

We enjoyed a very inexpensive break in this quirky hotel built around the ruins of an old Church -very unusual. Room seemed to have been recently refurbished and was very pleasant. The city centre location meant we didn't need the car.Food was served all day and reasonably priced.All the staff we met were friendly and helpful. We would stay here again especially at the price we paid.

Rooms very very basic and the room we were in had no window which in this day and age I think is a bit poor especially when every room was the same price.

We find the Kilford Arms hotel very good and the staff very friendly. There is free parking and it is very central to the city of Kilkenny. We stay there a lot and look forward to the breakfast but this time we found the breakfast just o.k. there was a big crowd for the breakfast but this was not the problem the scrambled eggs were awful and they are usually nice but there seemed to be a taste of fish off them for some reason also a lot of the breakfast was cold normally the breakfast is lovely and always hot, but we still enjoyed our stay.

Carl scored 1 / 5 on 14/09/2023

My goodness , this must be the most depressing hotel in Ireland . No welcome from reception , staff all roaming around frowning and looking lost. Horrible atmosphere , no wonder they are offering cheap deals. The management either haven't a clue or don't care about running a hotel properly . In fairness, the food was decent and a good portion but when it's slapped down on the table it leaves a sour taste in the mouth. I don't think anyone would ever come back, we certainly won't be. Also, the room we were given was a mile away from the lift and above the main road. Never got a winks sleep all night due to party goers and traffic. Informed receptionist next day and was smartly told it would be quieter tonight. I asked to change room and she reluctantly agreed. Customer service in this country is non existent . Upon checkout we expected to be asked how was our stay. They never even bothered to ask. Sadly I think this hotel will be in trouble down the line, avoid if you want to enjoy Kilkenny.

Good evening, Just a note of thanks on behalf of my wife and myself for our recent stay in the Kilford Arms. We stayed 2 nights from 05-07/09/2023 in Room 55. We had a wonderful stay and your staff were of the highest order. They were mannerly and courteous at all times which made our stay more enjoyable Can we give a special mention to Sophia who looked after us for our evening meal on Wednesday. She went out of her way to make the evening meal enjoyable and she was so mannerly she is a great credit to herself. Can you pass on our thanks to her. We will certainly be returning and anyone who asks us about your hotel we will highly recommend it Mary and Kieran O Hanlon

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Kilkenny and the stay in the Kilford Arms Hotel. Our room was big and very clean, very comfortable beds and an excellent breakfast in the restaurant, which is designed to keep in mind, the history of Kilkenny castle. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and very efficient and professional in their duties. Our dinner was beautiful and there is a big car park to the rear of the hotel which is free for guests. This hotel is very central to everything in Kilkenny, an ideal location for any trip.

The lovely lady on reception when we checked in Sunday afternoon should be an ambassador for Kilkenny.., and the hotel! Such a positive first impression, and we subsequently really enjoyed our stay. Great breakfast, very comfy room and generally very positive. We were late bookers, and our room was overlooking the alleyway to the carpark and the pub next door was playing a constant diet of country and Irish music, hence the 4 instead of 5 stars! :-) Seriously though, lovely place and highly recommended!! Oh - the 11.00 breakfast deadline is a winner!!! Nothing worse than having to rush in the morning for a bite, and the later deadline here was a very welcome surprise!!!

Dezi scored 1 / 5 on 08/09/2022

Booked the 2nt 2 breakfast with one evening meal of 2 courses plus tea/coffee. Checking in was good, room basic, but comfortable and clean, bathroom was disappointing. We decided to have the dinner on the first night. Very basic menu and the food and service wasn't good. We asked for the bill so we could pay for the wine, when we noticed that the "complimentary coffee" was charged for. When we pointed this out the bar staff said we should pay for it, but when we queried this and they checked with reception, they stated that on this occasion they wouldn't charge for the coffee. This seemed like they were doing us a favour. I went to reception to clear up the situation, when the same member of bar staff became very irate, telling me to "pack your bag and get out, that you have been trouble all evening". We felt very uncomfortable, but stayed the night. The next morning the breakfast was ok and service was good. We decided that we didn't want to stay the second night and agreed with the receptionist to have a refund for one nights room rate. This receptionist was very dry and did not wish us well on our way. I realise that this started over an error about the coffee on the hotel's part, but how it ended was very poor customer service. Obviously staff should be made aware of the booking conditions and what is included. Unfortunately I could not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Collette scored 4 / 5 on 26/03/2022

Very happy with most aspects. I am a wheelchair user and it wasn’t very wheelchair accessible. You had to come out the front door of the hotel and enter the bar or restaurant through another door on the Main Street. We were lucky it wasn’t raining. The ramp here is a few inches to short to be a ramp. Then I had to get out and walk up the steps to the restaurant. So there was actually no wheelchair access to the restaurant. We would definitely go back though. Staff were lovely and helpful. Food was gorgeous, room was lovely and all very reasonably priced.

We stayed in this hotel for 4 days, they followed present restrictions perfectly, at any stage we didnt feel as if we were at risk. We had a twin room which was great , the only niggle I had was in the bathroom you had to climb over bath to have a shower and as I have arthritis it proved difficult. The food in hotel was superb and had good choices. I would reccomend this hotel and will definitely stay there again.

We chose The Kilford Arms as a welcome break after the Lockdowns. It has a bright and very clean appearance, 2 bars, beer garden, and restaurant. Big Screen and televisions for Sport. Staff were efficient and took time to talk to people, special mention due to Ella in Bar and Don in Restaurant. Room was small with some noise from a bar across the way, when mentioned to Manager Pius, he moved us very quickly to a quieter room. Food: very good Breakfast, excellent Evening Meal. We booked an extra night on this occasion and will definitely return.

The location of the hotel is ideal and there is on site parking hence I would recommend it for that. The hotel is a bit tired & grotty looking and could do with a sprucing up. The glass doors into reception have so many stickers on them it doesn't look very inviting. Not all staff members followed the current guidelines for COVID-19 i.e. either to socially distance or wear a mask/face covering when unable to social distance. In general there was a lot of staff on duty during breakfast & in the bar but not all were aware or vigilant that customers should come before there social chats.

My wife and I arrived at the Kilford Arms on Tues 22nd April 2014 for 2BB1D. First of all, the car park at the rear of the hotel was very handy. The lady at receiption (Anna) was very welcoming. The room was clean, tidy and peaceful. We had the evening meal the first night. It was very tasty. The French and Portuguese waiters were very helpful and very keen to make our stay satisfying. The dining hall was a Mexican style. The breakfast on both mornings was top notch. The Manager allowed us to leave our car in the car park all day on the date we checked out. We loved the Kilford Arms, Kilkenny. Thanks to all the staff. Jimmy Gollogly

We had a most enjoyable stay in Kilford Arms hotel in Kilkenny, staff were very helpful and friendly, food was good and rooms bright and clean and loads of supplies for tea/coffee making facilities. We would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to others. It is within walking distance to bus/train station and very central. We really enjoyed our stay there. Thanks.

We loved this hotel .Great for a mad weekend away . (not for a family with young kids. ). Every member of staff at this hotel was extremely professional and polite from the recepionist , bar staff , resturant staff and door men . Rooms and bathroom were spotless. We will stay here again , great value for money and geart location .Just 5 mins walk to city centre.

I am sorry to say but out of the Lidl breaks we have been on, this one was not so good, Our room was freezing so my husband went to reception where he was told she forgot to put our heating on, evening meal was a disaster, I was half way through my starter when we asked the waitress where my husbands starter was, she had forgotten to order it, I ordered the roast beef which was sour We were offered a free dessert but i could not eat as the taste in my mouth was vile, I will us Lidl breaks again, but will not stay in the Kilford arms hotel again..

Stayed for 2 nights B&B. Room spacious and clean. Double bed could do with a new mattress as on one side it was a bit lumpy. Staff very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was a bit slap dash. By the time we got through it, the food had gone cold. However microwave available if needed. Not huge selection of fresh fruit or different types of bread at breakfast. Had meal in the bar and food was excellent there. Overall enjoyed our stay. Hotel very central with own car park which was a plus.

The Kilford arms hotel,was one of the best hotels we have stayed in with the children, the room was very spacious everyone had their own space,it was clean and airy,which was much appreciated by my son who has asthma. The staff were very friendly and helpfull.We only had a short stay but we all said if we ever get to go to killkenny again we would stay there again it was so central and having its own car park was a big advantage.


Gareth scored 1 / 5 on 14/09/2012

We stayed for a three night break, hotel has an excellent location and free car parking, found staff in general to be friendly which are the only positives to be found. Overall the hotel was in a poor state of cleanliness in all public areas, corridors to bedrooms not clean and the bedroom itself has a bloodied handprint on the wall. The standard of breakfast was very poor, the hot plate was cold you had to heat your breakfast in the microwave, the selection of cereals was from lidl/aldi and was poor. The bar was dirty but the staff where friendly. Overall it was a very dissappointing stay and i would not go back the Kilford Arms again.

Ciaradub9 scored 5 / 5 on 14/02/2012

Really nice welcoming hotel. Staff so nice and helpful. We booked two twin rooms and they offered us a family room to sleep 6 and it was lovely and cosy. It had one double bed and four single beds and two portable TV's. It was clean with lots of hangers which makes a change. Small hairdryer on the wall and soap and shower gel dispensers. The bars were excellent. Great choice as to which one to drink in and a nightclub, didn't go to that so can't comment but entrance was free for guests. The breakfast was carvery with excellent helpful staff again. The hotel is just a stones throw away from a lovely shopping centre. In essence yep we will be back

Fionn scored 3 / 5 on 27/09/2011

Nice reception area and obviously a busy hotel which is a good sign. The room was ok but poorly ventilated. A large standalone fan was provided, but air con would be better. Plenty of milk for the tea and coffee. WELL DONE!! too many hotels are mean with the milk. Breakfast was nice and service was good. Corridors were a tad noisy at night, probably due to the location of the hotel in Kilkenny City, however there was no noise from the nightclub or pub downstairs or even the street. I would have given a higher rating but for the stuffy room and being woken up by other guests in the corridor. parking was off street and reasonably secure and location was ideal.


Dl scored 3 / 5 on 19/09/2011

good points : Nice hotel, rooms clean, food decent. Good bar and very good service. bad points: they could do with updating the rooms, beds not of great quality. Overall fairly happy though


Declan scored 2 / 5 on 13/09/2011

Very nice hotel with exceptionally friendly and helpful staff, especially at reception. The exception was the bouncer at the night club part of it who was extremely unreasonable and it took ages to convince him that my partner was staying with me (she was not noted on the booking form) to the point that he locked me on one side of the door and her on the other. The only black mark against very good accommodation.


Anne scored 5 / 5 on 04/09/2011

I really enjoed my recent stay in the Kilford Arms.It is in a great location beside the bus and train station. The castle, shops, restaurants and bars are all within walking distance of the hotel. The room was spacious and warm and the staff were friendly and helpful. I will stay here again if I am in the area.

Yvonne scored 3 / 5 on 25/07/2011

Kilford arms hotel is very central to all the great bars and shops of Kilkenny. Found the rooms basic with a stale smell( like it use to be a smoking room) Our check in was very efficient and staff were very pleasant. Our dinner was served by a very efficent polish guy and there was a great choice on their menus. We were also given a glass of wine with our dinner,complaints of the manager which was a nice touch. This hotel is great if your not looking to relax and sleep much but party and shop instead!!!! Car parking is free which is a added bonus and hotel is great value for money. I would return again.


Hugo scored 5 / 5 on 23/04/2011

we stayed mid-week and we cannot recomend the Kilford more highly. Its almost in the centre of Kilkenny, a few minutes from the train station, and offered excellent value. The staff were really friendly and the service excellent. They also have a great late night bar with an excellent beer garden (if you smoke like us). Having said that, I know a lot of their weekend business is of the stag/hen variety and we noticed a few of these ariving as we left. However I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Kilford for a short break in the Marble City, just it might get a little ott at the weekend.


Zulica scored 5 / 5 on 08/03/2011

I stayed in the Kilford Arms for 1 night B&B and 1 evening meal but i was very disappointed with the food and would not eat there again, the room was clean but with a very small window and there was parties and music on both sides of us until early in the morning. The only fault i had with the hotel is after 12pm you could not get back into the hotel through the main entrance and had to use the door for the pub, this door was closed and on a dark street and i had to bang on the door and keep buzzing the bell for over 15 mins, I was own my own coming back to the hotel and this was a little bit scarey. Great value for money and will defo be booking with Lidl breaks in the future but not this Hotel.


Fiona scored 5 / 5 on 22/02/2011

The hotel is located in the centre of the town which is great. The room we got was lovely, a suite with 4 single beds and 1 double bed which we were delighted with, to be altogether. It cost us 39e per person which also included breakfast. Great value for money and will defo be booking with Lidl breaks in the future.

We stayed in the Kilford arms for 2 nights bed & breakfast recently and have to say we really enjoyed our stay. The Staff where very helpful and friendly and the breakfasts and lunch where lovely. The only thing we didnt really enjoy was the evening meal. However that said it wouldn't stop us staying there again. It is in a central location and the parking is free. The pubs and nightclub where great craic.


Anne scored 5 / 5 on 25/01/2011

I booked 2 nights b&b plus 2 evening meals, was very disappointed with the meal and ate out the following night. This is my only complaint as I really enjoyed my stay in the Kilford Arms.The hotel is very central to the castle, shopping area and all the night life and is situated very close to the bus and train station.
