Was expecting better things from The Rivercourt, being a fan of their sister hotel, Lyrath Estate. However, they are quite different experiences. The decor, furniture, etc is lovely. Our room however looked a bit tired. Also, the smell of ciggerette smoke on the second floor corridor was shocking. We were wondering where it was coming from, as the doors had... More

The room was clean and comfortable. The bathroom was clean but the shower kept dripping which was a bit irritating but the staff did manage to fix it. The hotel is in an excellent location being just 2 minutes walk from Kilkenny castle and Kilkenny town centre with rooms overlooking the castle walls and the river which is very attractive.... More

The River Court hotel is in a good location with views of Kilkenny Castle from one side of the hotel and the restaurant. Service is good, the staff at breakfast being best of all. It is a noisy hotel though, service staff yelling in the halls, kids running, etc. I also would say it is a bit pricey for what... More

I stayed here for two nights in March. The hotel is very central in Kilkenny, and as the name suggests is next to the river. Parking is plentiful (if you include behind the hotel), and check-in was friendly and efficient. My room, 201, a double, was bright and comfortable without being exceptional. The en-suite was fine and the shower good.... More

My wife and I had our Wedding service and reception at this hotel and it could only be described as perfect. From start to finish, I could't pick one fault, not even the smallest niggle, these guys take customer service to the next level, everyone of our guests commented on the food and service, the rooms and staff. If you... More

The staff were superb. Always a friendly smile and greeting. The room was large and extremely comfortable. The only meal we took was breakfast which... More
