What guests think

Across recent reviews, Newpark Hotel stands out as a very family‑focused stay with Jurassic Newpark attractions, a well‑regarded pool and spa, and friendly staff, though crowds and booking systems can make shared spaces busy and less relaxing.

Dining feedback is mixed: many enjoyed good food and Scott’s bar, but breakfast quality, delivery, queues, and start times drew repeated complaints. Rooms range from spacious and comfortable to dated with maintenance issues, intermittent Wi‑Fi, and occasional noise when placed near family wings. Cleanliness runs from spotless housekeeping to reports of dirty carpets and outdoor areas needing attention. Expect a lively, kid‑centric hotel with strong facilities and uneven breakfasts.

Facilities

Extensive family facilities are a major draw, including the Jurassic Newpark attractions, playgrounds and kids club, plus a well‑liked pool and spa; however, prebooked time slots and occasional construction or event crowds can limit access and parking. EV chargers and Scott’s bar are appreciated.

Great family hotel, very friendly staff, fast service which really accomodates young children. Fabulous facilities all around and of course the Jurassic Park is an extra special place, especially for kids who love dinosaurs! So much to do without being fleeced at every turn. Family of 5 and we had an absolute ball!! Girls already asking to go again!

Positiv ist der Poolbereich mit der kleinen Außenanlage; leider dürfen Kinder nur in den eigentlichen Pool und es müssen Zeitslots zur Nutzung vorgebucht werden (hat Vor- aber auch Nachteile). Für Preis-Leistung ist aus meiner Sicht die Note 3(-) gerechtfertigt. Es wird sich definitiv Mühe gegeben.

We had an amazing experience at the Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny! The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, but what really sets it apart is how perfect it is for families. There’s Jurassic Newpark adventure park attached with a variety of animals to visit, which our kids absolutely loved. The playground and large inflatable were huge hits and gave us plenty of time to relax while the kids were entertained for hours. The hotel staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant. Everything from the rooms to the dining areas felt family-friendly without sacrificing comfort or style. This is truly one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Ireland for traveling with children — a perfect mix of luxury and fun!

We had a great family holiday at the hotel. Only downside was the maintenance works going on throughout the external area from car park building, painting external walls and Jurassic park was brilliant but also very much under construction. Feel some gesture or acknowledgement from management of the disruption would have been nice.

Really recommend this hotel which is beautifully appointed, has excellent food and the best hotel health club and spa I have come across. I will definitely be back for a spa break. Only issue was that I specifically asked for a quiet room away from the families as I known this hotel caters well for them and my room was a family room right in the middle of all the families, though the peacock woke me up more than the crying children. Went to meet the peacocks, who were having a crow off with a T-Rex, and no that’s not a typo, the Newpark has a Jurassic Park full of animatronic dinosaurs, an animal farm, and extensive children’s play facilities. Looking forward to bringing the grandchildren here, when they arrive….! Till then it’ll be spa breaks.

A very large hotel resturant was not a place to sit and relax extremely busy with families and extremely loud too many dtaff with little knowledge of service. Sitting outside the fake grass on the ground was saturated with water and the was furniture filty. A plastic bottle dumped in the flower pot. Unclean carpets throughout the hotel and absolutely no attention to detail. It could be perfect with the right management snd professional staff. Breakfast was perfect 👌. More of a 3 star than 4.

Disappointed with our stay at the Newpark. Check in was very confusing - told the room was not ready just minutes before the check in time of 4:00pm. Room was prepaid for but staff were unaware? Room furnishings seem outdated for supposedly a four star hotel. Service in the dining room was poor considering it was a buffet. Certainly not value for the money spent. Would not recommend.

We loved this property for many reasons. The food was great. The pool and spa area was a great surprise. It was kid friendly and there was a steam room, plunge bath, hot tub and sauna for adults. There is a great petting zoo, park, dinosaur walk and fairy lane for kids. The room was a bit hot, the AC was loud and didn’t work thoroughly however it could be because it’s Ireland and we are Canadians with different weather extreme experience! Overall would recommend!

Hotel ist schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen, für 4 Sterne und 300 E/Nacht hätte ich mehr erwartet. Als wir ankamen, gab es eine Hochzeit, so dass es keinen Parkplatz gefunden haben. In der Rezeption war für die Hochzeit Live Musik, so dass man sich beim Einchecken fast anschreien musste. Und das Frühstück war eher miserabel: der Schinken zu hart, der Black Pudding nicht lecker, die Kartoffeln nicht schmackhaft. Es ist auch nicht richtig nah am City Center….
