Top Ballacolla Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Ballacolla

The Club House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great staff and central location with easily accessible parking. We stayed in the original part of the hotel so the rooms were quite dated, but comfortable. There is no lift so be prepared to carry your luggage up plenty of stairs."

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel, central location, good breakfast. We liked it and would stay there again"

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"

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

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

Langtons Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very nice."

Glendine Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was excellent filled with Irish hospitality at its finest. Our meals were wonderful, accommodations for gluten free was met with ease and tasty. Breakfast was delicious and the service again was outstanding. Our room was newly renovated with very comfortable beds, clean with the added bonus of a common kitchen area where we were able to play cards comfortably. Lucas was outstanding and helpful with directions, recommendations and a large bag of ice for us Canadians. Great location."

Kinnitty Castle Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful castle hotel. The rooms were beautiful and clean and the staff was so kind and welcoming. Breakfast was also extremely nice with a hot option (like pancakes/sausage) included. Only complaint is that there needs to be some pest control inside, as there were spiders in every corner of the ceiling as well as one running around by my toilet. The grounds were incredible and we wished we had more time to stay and hike around them as others seemed to know to plan. We hope to be back!"

Rafter'S Gastropub

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly place in a great location. Close to everything, but quiet when we needed it. We would stay here again."
