Top St Mary's Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel was very nice, comfortable and had a great location. Breakfast was great."

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."

Lyrath Estate Hotel Spa & Convention Centre

10/10 Excellent
