We stayed one night in this charming old hotel. The location was decent, the beds were comfortable, the rooms were clean and it was very quiet. Like many of the hotels we stayed in during our trip to Ireland, the bathroom was small with a very tiny sink and the room was fairly small, too. There was virtually no where to put suitcases except on the floor. But all we needed was a place to sleep, so these weren't deal-breakers. Also, you need to stick your room keycard into a slot on a wall in the...
We had a wonderful stay at the Langton Hotel. The location was perfect for exploring Kilkenny, and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. Our room was very comfortable, exceptionally clean, and inviting. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!
This is a very nice hotel in the heart of Kilkenny - easy walking to attractions, shopping and dining. Staff was very helpful and pleasant. Easy parking across the street. Good breakfast buffet.
The Hatch, which is part of this business and across the parking lot, is lovely and has a delicious breakfast offering. The rooms are clean and new. Mild disturbances with doors slamming shut, but overall a very affordable and nice stay.
Free parking. Amazing location in town. Friendly staff. The room was large. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was really good. Breakfast was included and excellent. Only bad thing was the view out our window.
We were in London and Ireland for 10 nights and stayed at a total of 5 locations and this was by far our favorite! It is a beautiful hotel, the beds are extremely comfortable, the staff were so kind, the food was excellent, and the location was very accessible to pubs and the Kilkenny castle. We wished we could stay longer.
absolutely loved our stay here, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, the setting lovely, rooms comfortable, breakfast delicious and plentiful!
only thing I would have like to see was improvement on eco friendly front, replacing the tiny toiletries with bigger bottles that are refilled in the showers and the same with all of the little plastic water bottles.
We were caught up in the British Air problems when our flight was cancelled requiring us to rebook. We were able to get on a flight one hour earlier than our previous flight, which meant we had to leave in a hurry. The woman at the front desk was wonderful about getting us breakfast to go and directions to Dublin airport. We made our flight, all thanks to her!
Our family of four stayed one night at Newpark Hotel. I most appreciated the hotel check-in staff. I could tell something was wrong with our reservation as he asked twice for our name and then if our reservation could be under a different name. Then he took our confirmation page and excused himself for a couple minutes in the back room. He then came out, apologized for the delay, and gave us our room information as well as gift bags for the children. He never once made it seem like it was...
We had a lovely stay @ Launard house! Sharon & Adam provided exceptional service & hospitality. This was the 11th lodging stop for us (Scotland & Ireland) and the first to have a top sheet & washcloths, which we appreciated as Americans. Sometimes it’s the little things!😃 We walked into town for dinner with dozens of great dining choices. Breakfast was delicious and we wish we could have stayed longer.
A very nicely refurbished hotel did not have the leisure entrée open, but hopefully open soon. Food was well presented. I’m very tasty. Rooms are a little small, but OK for a single traveler.
Great hotel in a very nice town. I cannot praise the staff here enough. They were incredibly nice and extremely helpful. They really went above and beyond to make it a great stay. We only ate breakfast at the hotel but the food and service were excellent. The hotel bar was also very nice. All in all The Anner was a great experience. and I highly recommend it.
Beautiful old house with large bedroom. Very comfortable bed (one of the best out of 14 hotels) which was much needed due to the jet lag. Wonderful staff and walkable village shops and pubs
