Top St Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful property with everything you will need ! Allan and the staff are awesome!"

Pembroke Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were polite and helpful, very nice breakfast selection and quality of food. Room was great for a triple (3 beds) with the bathroom clean and towels very good. Good coffee machine and biscuits as well. We only stayed one night, however, we were fully pleased with the room and hotel"

SpringHill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel has just been refurbished with elements of each room needing to be finished off."

The Club House Hotel

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed staying at The Club House Hotel as it was very central which made it convenient to walk around the city. The room was clean and comfortable, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We liked the parking available to the rear of the hotel. We had dinner and breakfast in the restaurant which was wonderful as well."

Kilford Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was not perfectly clean, but the view was beautiful, and the location was perfect- right in between the bus stop and the main attractions of the city. So close to everything! The staff was kind enough to keep our luggage while we toured after we had checked out. The pub was perfect after a day of wandering"

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay as always."

Hoban Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"We are one week into a three week vacation. The Hoban was our first night and is still the best so far. Room was large bed was a North American style king size, food was amazing, staff extremely helpful. Can’t say enough good things about this place."

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"great gym, good access to downtown, great breakfast"

Mount Juliet Estate, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Our stay was towards the end of a 10 day road trip through Ireland and I was really looking forward to staying at Mount Juliet Estate. Website and booking sites show a huge old manor house but our accommodation ended up being in a Marriot on a golf course. I wouldn't consider it a 5 star hotel. The room was a good size, the bed was comfortable however the bathroom was shabby, dirty and the door didn't close properly. Breakfast was included and had a good selection."
