Loved the location. Close to shops and liked that JB’s bar was about 40 feet away from room entrance, which was appreciated after a long day of traveling.

Bit nervous beforehand after seeing some of these reviews but I honestly don't know what they're talking about - the place was great. My room was lovely and also spotless, it was perfectly warm, and the location couldn't have been better. Really loved the big bay windows overlooking the castle and river. Also the owner/host was very responsive when I had some questions beforehand. Would definitely book again if I am back in Kilkenny!

The hosts were super friendly and very helpful. Told us where to visit and eat around the area. The bedroom was so clean and fresh, and the bed was super comfortable, as were the pillows. The room is very big and spacious.The tv in the bedroom had firestick, which meant we had every channel you could think off which was great for relaxing on the comfy recliner sofa in the room. Big bathroom with bath loads of hot water and washing products supplied there also. The view were stunning, and their little dog dingo was just super cute. Very fast and speedy Internet. To our suprise the communal kitchen had everything you needed, and they had left out items such as crossiants and cereal bars to have with you coffee in the morning, which was complimentary. Can't wait to return to the stables.

The rooms are small and the bathroom is down the hall and if the water isn’t hot try the other bathroom, but… what a fantastic night we had!! Our first night in Ireland and we had an amazing time. We sat outside and drank with the locals, moved inside as it got later and colder, people started singing and we ended up going to bed at 2am. Very warm and welcoming locals.

    Glendine Inn felt like a real authentic Kilkenny stay. From the locals in the pub, to the Hurling championship memorabilia, to the staff and service - everything was excellent! Public transport is available however I chose to walk everywhere as it’s a small city with plenty of beauty to see. Highly recommend this accomodation and Kilkenny!
