Things we didn't like: there is a pub down stairs that stays open very late in the evening. You can hear the club music all through the room. One night we were kept awake until 2:00AM because of the noise. It just so happened that on this same night, the boiler went out so we had no heat and no hot water to take a shower. I would possibly consider staying here again in the future if I could get a room away from the pub.

We DID do a Falconry experience that was really cool. (I recommend it) The bar was great. The high point of the stay was the dinner we ate at the Hermione's restaurant. I had a ribeye steak with a pressed potato. Both very good. Our server Glenn was outstanding. Out of every dinning experience that I have had in my entire life, Glenn would rank in the top 5 of the servers. Can't say enough about the service.

Kilkea Hotel is a spectacular and beautiful property. The renovations to turn it into a hotel…read moreinclude some modern amenities but keep a lot of the historical charm of the property which I appreciated. We had one castle room and one carriage room for our stay. Both rooms were quaint and well maintained. The gardens around the property are gorgeous and wonderful to explore during nice weather. The only thing to note is that in off-season the main restaurant is only open on the weekends and the tea service is not available during the week. While we enjoyed the food at Hermione's, the day we stayed there was a group event closing the main restaurant so we had to eat in the bar area. Most of the activities are off the property which wasn't very clear as we approached the date of our stay. We ended up visiting the National Stud Farm (about 30 minutes drive) and the clay pigeon shooting (about 40 minutes drive). Highly recommend both activities and really appreciate the staff helping us arrange these activities. The downstairs bar area is open late with a delicious charcuterie and board games are available to use by the fireplace which was a fun way to spend the later evening hours. Highly recommend staying at Kilkea Castle Hotel!

My wife and I were attending a wedding at this hotel. When we booked the wedding, we tried using…read morethe wedding party's group rate. The hotel made us book the first night outside of the group rate as a separate reservation with the subsequent 3 nights on the group rate and a different reservation number. Prices went from 520 to 375 and then up to 420 per night. Fortunately they didn't ask that we check out, leave and then check back in again. When were arrived at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, they told us check in time is 4:00 p.m. and our room wasn't ready yet. We saw many other people arrive after us, check in and go to their rooms. The bellhop had our luggage and was asking us constantly when we would be going to our room. We were initially told that we would have a room with a balcony. At 4:00 p.m, our room still wasn't ready. The desk clerk then said she has our room on floor 2 ready. I asked if floor 2 had the balcony we were promised. She said no and then brought the manager over. They were able to find me a room on floor 6 with a balcony and apologized for the delay. The room was very nice with a large walk-in shower and an oversized room with balcony. The fitness center is located on the lower floor and had plenty machines, treadmills and ellipticals. The Irish breakfast in the morning was great. Very nice buffet, but you can also order off a menu for additional cost. The buffet had scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fried egg, pouched eggs with sauce, pancakes, smoked salmon, cheeses, fruits, cereals, juices, lunch meats, and pastries. The hotel had my Marriott Rewards number on file. I'm a lifetime Titanium member. I'm working with the hotel currently to find out why I never received my Marriott reward point, bonus points and credit for the hotel nights.

Our bedroom was comfortable with the exception of the bed; this was at the end of its life and the mattress was not that comfortable. The location is quiet so we slept OK.

The bed mattress in Room TWO needs replacing and also one hears noise from 06.00 from the small kitchen/washing up area beneath it, which was irritating. The small selection of food served in the bar was OK but there is no atmosphere within the bar area and it feels 'cold and sterile'.

Have never stayed here because their prices for mid-week stays are too high for me and their competition (NAMA or not) offer better value for the business traveller. Front desk receptionist had a bit of an attitude when I asked her for a ticket when I misplaced mine which left a bad taste in my mouth. Point to note, when you come off the motorway the hotel is on the right but you cannot cross the road here, you need to go to the next roundabout and come back on the opposite side. Meh. On a plus, their restaurant seems to have 2 Rosettes from the AA so mustn't be too bad. Maybe the next time if the receptionist smiles we could try it....
