What guests think

At Club House Hotel Kilkenny, travellers highlight a central, walkable location and warm, personable staff, alongside a historic building that mixes charming character with trade-offs like many stairs, no elevator, and a noticeable gap between renovated and older rooms.

Breakfast and the on-site bar/restaurant are frequently enjoyed, though several guests found food or coffee only average. Cleanliness is praised in many reviews, but others report musty odors, worn areas, or bathrooms needing better upkeep. There is on-site parking that’s handy yet sometimes hard to locate, and a few guests experienced noise from events or weekend nights. Expect a characterful stay best if you request a renovated room and don’t mind stairs.

The included breakfast was a combination of buffet style and made to order items. It was quite good. The hotel location was excellent and made for easy walking to restaurants and points of interest. We had a rental car so the free parking in the back of the hotel was a huge bonus in a crowded city with limited on-street parking. The hotel was comfortable and has a great history.

The location is great and offers ample parking. The breakfast included is amazing. There were only 2 issues we incurred. There is no elevator and if you have a large suitcase beware! Moving it up all the stairs is a physical challenge. Also our room was above a party area that blared music until 1am and then the loud party talkers went to 2am. Hey, it was a saturday night! But choose your rooms wisely

The hotel is located in the center of Kilkenny, extremely convenient to walk to Kilkenny castle, cathedral, shopping and dining places. We parked our car at the hotel and walked around. The parking is behind the hotel you will need to follow the specific instruction given by the hotel. The hotel is a boutique hotel and the furnishing and bathrooms are not like the modern ones but we liked it.

Hardest thing about this place if you're driving is locating the hotel carpark. Took quite a few goes and a fair bit of cursing to eventually locate it. It will be a decent lug if you have heavy bags as there is no lift. Breakfast was really good and the location is a short walk to Killarney Castle. Staff were friendly and if you're looking for an old pub with lots of character then this is your place.

Rather old fashioned hotel. In need of refurbishment and/or a deep clean in public areas (eg there was food debris on top of radiators in the dining room!). All of the surfaces in the original building were tacky. Staff were efficient. Breakfast was ok, nothing special.

The staff were lovely & breakfast was great! However, the room had a dingy smell to it, the water pressure in the shower was practically non-existent, there was mould in the bathroom, beds weren’t great, & sheets were scratchy. Perhaps worst of all, as travellers without roaming data, the wifi didn’t reach our room (which was only at the top of the stairs), making it difficult to contact loved ones at the end of the day. Wouldn’t be top of my list of places to stay again.

I was completely disappointed and disgusted with this hotel. It came so highly recommended. While it was right in the heart of city center the hotel it self was awful. The second you walked through the doors you were greeted with an awful smell. The room was old, dirty and cold. The temperature outside was 37*F and there was no heat in the room until 6pm. The bathtub had mold and soap scum. There was a tea set and the spoons had dried coffee stains on them. The beds had dips in them that’s how old they were. The staff was not helpful at all. I would never go back or recommend this hotel. For the price you pay to stay at this hotel you would expect it to be a much higher quality. Completely disgusted and disappointed

This bnb's walkability (eg 4-min walk to Kilkenny castle) and parking lot (in the back) made it an easy choice for our stay. While this property has updated common areas, not all of their bedrooms are renovated and we got stuck with an old room (Room 7) which we knew there was a chance of. Would recommend this place if you can guarantee a renovated room!

Great for free parking and in the heart of Kilkenny central area. Stayed one night in the original building in a very small room with no windows (only a small skylight). Functional room but uncomfortable bed. Walls are paper thin, can clearly hear people in the next room. Overpriced for a very small room. Would not stay again.

We did stay on a Saturday night and the music downstairs was horribly loud until 1am and then the party went on until 2:30am. All in all I would return but choose my room away from the hotel party area

They surprised us with a delicious selection of desserts waiting for us in our room for our anniversary! That was an unexpected surprise! And Jean in the onsite restaurant was so warm and welcoming.

This is a very old facility—the parking is a real challenge to find—but somehow, we managed! The hotel is on multiple floors. My husband uses a cane, and one of the staff brought our luggage to our room for us. They even changed our room so we would encounter fewer steps. We walked to the castle, then came back to the hotel for dinner - it was excellent - as was breakfast the next morning. We really enjoyed staying here - next time two nights!

The desk clerk, fresh back from college, would say things like “Don’t put the bags there! I need to tag them so they don’t get confused” (I was standing with them and wasn’t moving) and “You reserved by internet so you don’t get breakfast” (huh. The room is now booked bc of the internet. How odd to discriminate) And She left out salient details about the room which took time and effort to resolve. Once past the front desk, the stay was fine.

The first room we checked into the bathroom fan would not turn off and the heat was not working. Natashia was kind enough to move us to one of the newer rooms (addition onto older hotel). The newer room was perfect minus the shower had not been cleaned. Natashia jumped right on this and sent the cleaning crew. We really appreciated her customer service and she made our stay a very pleasant one. A full breakfast was included which we appreciated. The hotel was reasonably priced. would recommend

Great location in the heart of Kilkenny and next to Kilkenny Castle. Restaurants, shops, and bars were all walkable and there's a bar/restaurant downstairs if you want to stay indoors. The staff were friendly/helpful and the check-in was painless. There is a large secure parking lot behind the property. Check-in early to guarantee yourself a parking spot; it filled up quickly during my stay. The room was spacious for a solo traveler and it was well-kempt. The layout and amenities in the room did feel outdated, but there were outlets and the bed was comfortable. For the price and location, it was a fine place for a one-night stay.
