Larger than you might think from the street, it also has two pubs / bars attached, parking in the back, and some decent options for breakfast. It's a short walk to Kilkenny Castle and all the shops, pubs and restaurants you could want.

The room was very spacious and clean. Breakfast and dinner were really good also. It is a very family oriented hotel and as such was really busy with families and children. It did not bother us as we were away for a friends catch up but it may be off putting for a romantic break away!!

Really great hotel for families. Staff are so helpful and kind with the children. Had a really lovely stay and the kids had a ball. Great that the hotel has a family room with amenities to sterilise bottles etc, really helpful when travelling with a baby. Lovely pool, great outdoor area for kids. Little things like free face painting and free cookies and milk at night for kids, and a live musician in the evenings outside the bar really add to the hotel as a family friendly destination.

Child orientated hotel, decorated lovely for Christmas with a cosy atmosphere. The staff were all very friendly and lovely with children which was wonderful. Playground and farm onsite along with the family room was very useful especially with young kids.

Excellent hotel and facilities, brilliant for families as it has a pool and is the centre of town. there is lots to explore for families , and the hotel is just off the main street. the staff were amazing (especially Christine and Josephine) . The room was huge with bunk beds for the kids (room 102) I would highly recommend the Ormonde as a base for a family wanting to explore all Kilkenny has to offer.
