This is our go-to place to stay in Kilkenny. We've been here twice already and will be returning again next year. The staff is amazing and very very friendly - our little daughter loved interacting with the ladies at the reception and really enjoyed the Easter egg hunt they organized for her. The location is perfect, our room was spacious and quite cozy + the building has a significant historical and architectural value. The breakfast menu was very well structured - I'd definitely recommend the eggs Benedict! All in all - we'd recommend the place to anyone who's willing to get the most of their stay in Kilkenny!

The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Staff were easily available during the opening hours of the pub and very friendly and forthcoming. One night there was a Problem with the WiFi and I was promptly informed and an alternative solution was suggested. Location of the place is fantastic. Right next to the train station and seven minutes on foot from the city center. On the way down to the river there are a lot if different pubs, restaurants and cafes. So it's possible to enjoy breakfast at a different place everytime.

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!
