“A bit of Irish luck in Kilkenny”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

My fiancé and I spend a wonderful night at the hotel the past month. Originally booked into the McCourts Townhouse the staff decided to move us into the hotel since it was during a quiet period.
The experience was wonderful, the hotel is very luxurious, clean and extremely neat. Staff very friendly and helpful and always willing to assist.
We had lunch in the Riverview Bar and the food, prepared freshly while you watch, was tasty and high quality. Breakfast was also of very high quality. Four stars deserved! The view from both venues are also amazing looking onto the Kilkenny Castle across the River Nore.
The hotel is also situated very centrally with many historic places to visit close by.

“if you are going to kilkenny stay here”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

we are a late 50s couple who have grown to appreciate life and few places in the world match our idea of a good night out/ few days away nice meal few drinks meeting new people,plenty to do during the day within easy reach and the chance to stay in a hotel whos staff naturally exel in their efforts to ensure you are comfortable with facilitys to match. if somebody asked me to drop everything and go to say paris, rome ,greek island ,new york,dubai next weekend i would probably say great but i cant for what ever reason but ask me to go to kilkenny and stay in the rivercourt and i would

Room Tip: pay the extra for a river view/balcony but it is not necessary to enjoy this hotel

“Perfect location, great service”

We stayed two nights on a mid week break and found the rivercourt an excellent hotel. It's location is perfect, right in the centre of Kilkenny. Bar food and the food in the restaurant was delicious and service brilliant. We also tried the Thai restaurant and would recommend it to everyone. Our room was very comfortable and had everything we needed, lovely view of the castle and bathrobes provided. We used the swimming pool and sauna which were clean and relaxing. Breakfast each morning was delicious, plenty of choice! The staff in this hotel were the friendliest staff we've ever encountered, very helpful and polite! We would recommend the rivercourt to everyone. Great place to stay!

“Everything you could ask for!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

My husband and I stayed for only one night but will definitely return for more! The service was excellent and the amenities lived up to expectations. Each member of the staff we encountered was friendly and efficient, from check-in, to dinner, to check-out. Our dinner was delicious in the attractive dining room. This location is ideal for enjoying the lovely city of Kilkenny. I really appreciated the non-smoking atmosphere throughout the hotel.
