Guest reviews
Kilkenny River Court Hotel averages 4.3 out of 5 across 2,462 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I recently stayed at the River Court Hotel and had a really lovely experience. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The breakfast buffet was excellent, with a great variety of options to suit all tastes. Most of all, the staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating,friendly, professional, and always willing to assist. A great central location and a warm welcome made it a memorable stay. Highly recommend!
Great location with easy access to the park of the Castle, wonderful and arranging staff. Bedrooms are however noisy and not well maintained, a serious refreshment is needed (windows, bathroom, furniture, …). Breakfast would be great with some fresh fruit. The terrace at the river is the best in town for food and drinks. Again a warm thank you for the staff who were fantastic
