FAQ about apartments in Kilkenny
Craic Larger than Medieval Life
Spirited Kilkenny was Ireland’s capital in the Middle Ages and although many monuments remain from back then, it’s now best known for the 'craic'. Kilkenny cream ale flows in pubs forming part of its legendary nightlife and tours of Smithwick’s showcase Ireland’s oldest operating brewery, on grounds containing the St Francis Abbey ruins.
Kilkenny has the most medieval churches in Ireland. Dating to the 13th-century are the Black Abbey and St Canice’s Cathedral, next to the Round Tower - the only remains of a 9th-century monastery founded by the saint.
Medieval streets, inns and wall remnants still stand, but the most impressive attraction is Kilkenny Castle, in large gardens by the River Nore. The 3-turreted fortress was a former home of the once powerful Butler family.
The Parade leads from here past high street shops to The Tholsel – the porticoed town hall. The Elizabethan merchants’ residence Rothe House is in a similar style. Wandering the colourful streets you can’t fail to notice buildings named after cats, a reference to the residents’ dogged determination. Local hurling team The Cats play at Nowlan Park, and the city hosts the annual Cat Laughs comedy festival, amongst others.
Booking.com’s Kilkenny accommodation includes hotels with spas and pools, and city centre guest houses near the train station.

The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old...
The imposing Norman castle complex which is 900+ years old is largely intact and well worth a visit even if you think you are not a 'history person'. Guided tour is worthwhile. Also visit the artists workshops in the stables complex opposite as well as adjacent park and gardens. After the castle go to the related St. Canice's Cathedral. The streets between still have a historic character with old buildings and shop fronts and plenty of places to shop, eat and drink with a predominance of independent traders. Kilkenny is compact and easy to walk round but people with mobility difficulties should check as some parts are steep or served by steps. Kilkenny is close to the main motorway network and would make a good touring base.joan brysonIreland - 10Scored 10

We visited for a boys weekend away, 9 years after our last visit and it did not disappoint. So many great independent bars to work your way through, all in close proximity, most with an authentic Iriah feel to them. As usual, the Irish welcome is excellent with live music on tap too. Great place for a boozy weekend.AndrewUnited Kingdom - 10Scored 10

I loved this mediaeval city .bursting with history and street art , culture, and so many unique and quirky shops. I also love learning about history and loved how many different places I could see and learn about here. The highlights were the castle tour and the shennagins walking tour .Zoei MurphyIreland - 8.0Scored 8.0
An old medieval town that is not overly touristed.
An old medieval town that is not overly touristed. Lots of lively pubs with friendly local people. I enjoy late night walks and this city seemed completely safe to enjoy at all hours. If you have a car the Rock of Cashel is about an hour away and well worth the trip.

- Avg. price/night: € 1698.1Scored 8.1Very goodRated very good· 1,207 reviewsThe room looked relatively new, looks like it was renovated recently so everything was neat and tidy and clean. Was surprised how clean the bathroom was! They had a little cake waiting for me in the room as it was my birthday. There is plenty of free parking, located close to the city centre and most amenities. The breakfast was okay, the usual continental breakfast. The dinner was actually good! The salmon was fresh. Have nothing bad to say, will definitely go again!KudzaiYoung couple

Would certainly return for another stay. Highly recommended 👌 👍CraigYoung couple
- Avg. price/night: € 1507.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 1,556 reviewsSo disappointed with this hotel. It was a very poor 2 star at most. Absolutely freezing with no heat. The bed was old, lumpy, squeaky + very uncomfortable. It was overpriced. Electricity wires from 2 lamps tied together with tape - a complete fire hazzard. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. Will never return but “hotels” like this give tourism Ireland a very bad name.
