This is essentially a three star hotel.

And, wow!... the breakfasts are outstanding, and so beautifully presented. But what made this place truly special are the kind and caring people who worked there.

Enjoyed a private walking tour by Pat Moylan, Kilkenny Walking Tour that the Butler house lined up for us. Pat is truly passionate about the history of Kilkenny, and we learned so much!

The staff were excellent. The food was amazing. Everything really appeared to go like clock work. After dinner everyone went outside to chat and mingle the night away. The heatwave we were experiencing made it feel like the Mediterranean. After the reception room closed, we made our way to the hotel bar. Greeted by a very affable bartender, he was able to give a history of a few of the pelts and stuffed animals displayed in the room. He was a good laugh too. It's only fabulous, Castle Durrow. A great day and night was had by all.

After our guide recommended the Langton House Hotel in Kilkenny for lunch, my bestie and I were…read moreexcited to see what the fuss was all about. As soon as we walked in, we could see why. It's absolutely beautiful. The hotel has a pretty vintage, but well-maintained, romantic antiquity to it. There was a bridal party happening when we arrived which I think added to the romanticism but it was still really pleasant. The restaurant and bar are conjoined, so there's plenty of table and bar seating all the way around. My friend and I shared the croquettes to start which were just okay, but then I ordered a broccoli and mushroom soup and the Stuffed Chicken entree. The soup was delicious and the entree came with caramelized onions and mashed potatoes, plus a side salad. The entree was absolutely delicious. I can honestly say this was one of my favorite dishes in my whole Ireland trip. I left the Langton House more than satisfied.

The service in the restaurant, the bar and in the hotel were amazing. I'd imagine if you have an event there, it must be spectacular, as the courtyard was beautiful and the rooms are quite lavish for a wedding or special event. Although we only stayed one night, certainly if we were returning, we would come back to Langton's again.

The lobby is tiny but check in was quite fast. Similar to other European hotels that converted old buildings, getting to the rooms can be a bit odd. Our "300" level rooms were accessed by taking the elevator to second floor and going down a hall which took us down a few steps and then up another few steps. While a bit of a challenge with luggage, it wasn't insurmountable. The room was chic with a modern bathroom. The bed was comfortable. The best part of the stay though was dinner at the restaurant. They have an extensive wine and drink menu. They served bread with flavored butter to the table. There were two types of bread, one that was like a country loaf and one that reminded me of focaccia served with a pesto butter. They were small but delicious bites. For my main course I had the Slow Braised Hereford Irish Beef Featherblade which comes with sweet potato puree, sweet corn, green beans & smoked bacon, red pepper polenta, fried corn crumb and jus. This was an amazing meal. The succulent beef was slow cooked before being crisped for serving. This gave the exterior some caramelization which contrasted nicely with the tenderness from the slow braise. The sweet corn & green beans provided the same kind of textural and flavor contrast to the sweet potato puree. And the polenta was savory and warm. Everything was a dance of complimentary contrasts. I only spent one night in Kilkenny but wish I had spent more just to enjoy more of the Zuni's excellent food. If you're looking for a place to stay, put Zuni on your list. If you're looking for a place to dine, Zuni is a must visit!

There's no dedicated loading/unloading area for luggage. There is a pull-off near the hotel main entrance but all kinds of cars seem to like hanging out there not just for loading, and no signs indicate they can't do that. Breakfast is not included. Shower supplies? No. Washcloth? No. Daily water? No. Fast wifi? No. Air conditioning is non-existent; they include a small oscillating fan even in the large rooms. There are no screens on the windows, so if you're trying to open them to get cool air, bugs come in. If bugs aren't coming in, then sounds are coming in, whether street sounds on the front side, and on the back side late night partiers coming through the alley, or dumpsters being emptied overnight. If it's not winter, I don't know how anyone could get a good sleep here. I loved Kilkenny, will probably be back, but will look for better hotel options.

My wife booked this hotel during our stay in Ireland. The photos are a scam, the staff were rude,…read moreand the room was a mess. The only good thing is the hotel is centrally located in town which makes it easy to get anywhere. Our room had stains on the carpet, a leaking bathroom faucet which I had to wrap a small hand towel around it so our personal items didn't get wet. The faucet itself was corroded and looked like it was falling apart. The shower was an old tub with a glass divider that moved. The tub is high off the floor which makes this a slip hazard for anyone getting out of the shower. The shower head was hanging away from the wall and was very outdated. One of the reading lights next to the bed was broken and was hanging with exposed wire. There was no AC but can't really complain about that since they made us aware of it during the booking process. They were nice enough to provide us with a fan. The outside of the hotel is nice and the lobby looks nice. Personally I think they spent their money on the appearance to give people the failed impression they are at an upscale hotel. We were only given one roll of toilet paper. When we ran out we contacted the front desk to have someone bring us some. The front desk clerk was not totally friendly on the phone. A few minutes had passed and still no toilet paper. My wife called back to ask again for toilet paper. The clerk told my wife we had to wait for the cleaning lady to come to work and they will have the cleaning lady bring us the toilet paper. Oh this was at four in the afternoon. So my wife and I left the room and I found a storage closet open. I went inside and grabbed my own toilet paper to bring back to our room. When we went downstairs I told the clerk who clearly needs a class in customer service we got our own toilet paper from the storage closet. My wife and I love Ireland and this is our second trip to Ireland. We will definitely never stay at this hotel again. Spend your money at a much better hotel where the staff believes in customer service and not Miss representation of the hotel or staff. Definitely do not recommend.

We stayed in an executive suite in Hunter's yard. The exterior looks like a luxury stable but you would never know from the inside. Our room was so luxurious. The attention to detail was incredible!

In the morning, we checked out the health club which has an gorgeous indoor pool, spa, sauna, steam room, and gym. Afterwards, we enjoyed breakfast at the Hound. Our hotel package included breakfast which was incredible. The Hound has amazing views of the driving range. For breakfast there is a buffer and the option to order something off the menu too. We decided to go with the buffet options but most individuals did both. After breakfast we walked throughout the estate. The hotel offers horseback riding, clay shooting, fishing, and more.
