Ideally set in Kilkenny, Butler House offers an à la carte breakfast and free WiFi. This guest house provides free private parking and a 24-hour front desk. Boasting family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. Very clean, and comfortable. The best location. Unforgettable breakfast with a view to their royal gardens, and the staff is super kind and friendly. I loved this hotel.

Welcome to Kilkenny House Boutique Hotel!

Right opposite St Luke’s General Hospital, this boutique hotel offers newly refurbished chic and traditional rooms. All of the rooms have the usual facilities as well as free wifi and 40’’ smart TV’s so you can binge on your favorite shows. It was perfect - breakfast/restaurant & an Irish pub for the evenings. Had a nice little reading spot and everyone was very friendly. It was a close walk to the downtown area, it was a nice walk away from tourists each morning :)
