The Kilkenny Rivercourt Hotel has a quiet, peaceful location, set back from the busy, winding streets of Kilkenny, Ireland's medieval capital. On the banks of the River Nore, this 4 star hotel is in the heart of the city commanding magnificent views of the 12th Century Castle.

Each of the spacious and elegant ensuite guest rooms are luxurious and stylishly decorated with fine furnishings. All rooms have interactive TVs and goose down duvets and pillows. Most of the rooms overlook the River Nore and the Castle beyond.

With stunning views, the Riverside Restaurant and the Riverview Bar offer great dining in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The Leisure Club has a 17 metre indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, geyser pool, steam room and a state-of-the-art gym.

Really enjoyed the stay in Kilkenny Court hotel, the location is perfect, The staff were very nice and pleasant and the hotel is decorated well and very clean. I had only one complaint about our night away. The rooms were exceptionally hot, it became very uncomfortable, Only for the portable fan they had in the wardrobe, it would have been unbearable. It wasn't just my room, it was in our friends room also. We opened window but it made little difference. That was my only issue, everything else was fine.
