The Kilford Arms was an amazing quaint hotel. Was very central and close to many pubs and walkable sites. Hotel was clean and everyone was helpful and accommodating. Was a very nice touch that parking was behind the hotel and was free

DUDLEY, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A great convenient hotel close to the train station and easy walking distance to the Kilkenny Castle, thw Medieval Mile, and Smithwicks brewery. The included daily breakfasts in the restaurant had a wide variety of choices and were very tasty. There are plenty of pubs nearby for dinners and the other thing that we found very useful was the nearby Brett's laundrette where you can get a good-sized load of clothes washed, dried and folded for 20 Euros.

Spacious room with comfortable bed. Paid for the buffet breakfast, lots of selection. Convenient location, about 5 min walk from bus station and to old town. There was a step inside my room right after opening door. Tripped over it once. Should put yellow masking tape on the carpet step.

Great Hotel

Hotel is clean and comfortable, there is parking behind the hotel which is included. Rooms are nice, there are better in Kilkenny but you pay the premium for that. Hotel is right in the centre, so can walk to wherever you want to. Had soup and a sandwich in the attached pub/restaurant which was very nice and the bread was exceptionally fresh. The Irish breakfast in the morning was perfectly cooked and as good as I have every had to be honest, and I have had a few in my time. Overall very happy, fantastic value for money, and I will not hesitate to stay again.
