Top Gowran Hotel Reviews

Hotel Kilkenny

10/10 Excellent

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

The Club House Hotel

8/10 Good

"This is an old hotel in the centre of Kilkenny within close walking distance to the castle. shopping and other sights. We loved the character of the hotel especially the bar and dinning room. The food was good, we had breakfast and dinner the two days of our stay. Our room was in the newer part of the hotel and was very comfortable. We especially liked the bathroom, great shower and plenty of room for your toiletries. The one drawback was the fact that there were no lifts so stairs needed to be negotiated. The staff were very good about taking the luggage in and out of the room so we didn't mind using the stairs at other times. On the whole a very pleasant stay."

Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect, old school, historic hotel in the most charming town. I wish we'd been able to stay longer."

Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel

8/10 Good

"."

Pembroke Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient parking on site. Modern rooms. Loved the view of the castle."

Mount Wolseley Hotel, Golf and Spa Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Bedroom was a really good size. Good storage space with a safe and fridge. The bathroom had both a bath and separate shower. Really good choice of Gluten Free food available both for breakfast and evening meals."

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

"We had a wonderful time! We were welcome by Ray, and from the moment we up in the car door, we were made to feel welcome at this great spot. We will look forward to coming back soon, and hope to be able to get the same bridal suite that we were surprised with!"

Woodford Dolmen Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Close to town of Carlow"
