This concerns the restaurant not the hotel.  The staff were lovely and I sat outside so the view was really good too. However my food was very disappointing. I ordered a starter - “Tiger Prawn croquettes” which were €12. Two came on a plate and they were tasty but… literally 98% potato. There was a minuscule amount of prawn in them and just tasted entirely of potato. I ate them and then commented to the waitress who said she would pass on the message to the chef but I heard nothing more. 
 So, tasty potato croquettes, but for €12? The phrase “Rip off Ireland” comes to mind.

No prawns in the prawn dish!

Great location right in the middle of Kilkenny, you can walk to everything lovely riverside bar.Staff very helpful and informed.The room we had had a good view of the river and castle.It was clean and comfortable but in need of  decoration.The bath room while having everything needs updated,walk in shower would be better than standing in the bath!. Breakfast was very good with good service and plenty of staff on hand.  The bar was very well laid out but at times could be confusing, an example, place an order at the bar and pay for it then while i wait on my beer the staff serving me goes away to do something else I ask another staff member for my beer and he ask me to pay for it again as he did do the origional transaction this happened twice howerver this was sorted quickly. Little minor issues but worth highlighting.

A great place to stay in Kilkenny

The view is priceless. The staff act as of they love their job, and that translates into a warmer experience where the client feels more at home (this may just be Irish people in general, we've been all over the world they are the sweetest). We had our wedding ceremony right at the hotel. Wouldn't change a thing about this place.

Fantastic stay.

We had to move rooms at 11.30pm on our 1st night as the shower was scalding and couldn't he repaired . We ended up in a smaller room. We didn't feel children were made feel welcome. We had a teenager and an 11  year old with us and the manager told us we had to leave the bar at 10pm.,despite this being our 2nd night there and staying the previous night until 11pm(and not being asked to move out)  .Food very overpriced and limited in choice . The bar was freezing, we asked for the air conditioning to be turned off.  Drink was very overpriced  at least €2 added on to some  drinks. We had to clear our own table and order drinks at the bar, despite it not being busy . There was no atmosphere in the bar for a bank holiday. No music or band playing. The loyalty system they have is a joke also.  Wouldn't recommend this hotel for families at all.

Save your money, stay elsewhere with more atmosphere

Myself and my family stayed here for my mother’s 50th. All the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We had beautiful rooms with a great view of the castle. We ate dinner in the restaurant. The food was nice and the service was very efficient and professional- Henry was serving us. They brought out a happy birthday dessert for my mother which was a nice touch. Overall would definitely stay again!

Lovely stay

We stayed here for a couple nights with our tour group.  The hotel is very large.  When we arrived a wedding reception was taking place.  We had a view of the Castle from our window and the hotel was in walking distance to the shops and restaurants in the area.  They had a very nice wrap around outdoor seating area where we grabbed a quick dinner the first night - Chicken Caesar Wrap and Sweet Potato Fries.  They offered a cold breakfast, but you can order a hot breakfast off the menu, and I had the pancakes both days, which were very good.  Our room was large with good storage.  The bathroom nice as well.  A fan was provided.

Very nice

We had two Castle View rooms for two nights and found the accommodations very comfortable.  The updated decor was attractive, the large bed was comfortable and the hotel clean.  
Our experience was very pleasant.  
Free on-site parking, although the entrance is through an arch which seemed narrow the first time we turned in with our rental car, but we were more relaxed the next day. 
Guests have a choice of a
full Irish breakfast buffet or continental breakfast of yogurt, fresh fruit, cereal etc. served in a dining room with tablecloths.  Coffee or tea is brought to your table. 
The terrace along side the river looked nice for sitting, although the wrath didn’t cooperate for our visit. 
The couple things to note were that the hallway noise filtered into our room, but later in the evening we never heard noise. The shower has a rain type shower head, the tub is narrow and the glass door allowed water to accumulate on the floor.  We used the towels to mop up water each day. The step out of the tub is a big one also, so use care.  
There is an elevator. I do not know if there are handicapped accessible rooms, but the bathtub in our room
Would never work for anyone unable to step up. Grab bars are present, although low.  
Overall if you were hesitant in booking here, I’d say the castle view rooms were quite lovely. The staff friendly and the hotel has a fantastic location nearby attractions, restaurants and pubs.

Wonderful location across from Kilkenny Castle on the river

First and foremost, id like to compliment all staff in all departments.
Food was great, service was great, rooms were spotless.
Check in staff were very efficient and kind, but i'd like to give an extra thank you to Kerry, who went above and beyond to make sure i was comfortable as i am recovering from a recent surgery. she tried her very best to do whatever she could to help us out. the following day she was more than happy to give us recommendations on what i could do in kilkenny, and didn't forget our face when we walked back in throuh the doors!
Thank you to all staff- we cant wait to come back!

The friendliest staff

This is a perfect hotel for a weekend getaway. Location is excellent right in the heart of everything. Room & food was top standard. Each staff member we encountered from check-in -bar staff -cleaning staff - Manager, were extremely pleasant/friendly and nothing was to much trouble for anyone. Thanks to everyone we will definately be returning to the Kilkenny Court Hotel. 

Excellent Hotel

The Kilkenny River Court Hotel is conveniently located just across the river from Kilkenny castle and down town Kilkenny.  The hotel has big rooms with nice bathrooms, there is no air conditioning which is common in Ireland, so open the window and turn on the fan if your warm.  The hotel has a large dinning area and pub with views of the river and the castle.  Breakfast was included and had all of your Irish favorites, like blood pudding, sausage and beans.  It is only a short walk to restaurants, pubs, the castle and shopping.  A nice hotel if you are staying in Kilkenny.  We enjoyed our stay here.
