Myself and my wife were married in the Ormonde in 2011 and we have been back twice a year since then. We always have a wonderful time and find the staff go out of their way to make the experience as special as our wedding day. We travelled down with our 10 week old son this time and although this...

A hotel in the centre of Kilkenny close to many shops, bars and restaurants. The location is very good. The staff reception and bar staff are efficient and friendly. The room was clean and the staff attending to the rooms do a good job. The wi fi is excellent. However, the breakfast buffet was poor. The bacon was tough overcooked... More

Ormonde hotel is overrated. First, the positive. Our first room had a constant hum from vents and staff were very accommodating in getting us another room, 213. What we didn't know is that facing the street on a Saturday night means loud music and voices blaring from bars and the windows have zero sound-proofing. Avoid any room on that wing... More

We booked in for 2 days for a wedding last weekend. The wedding was in another location and we chose the Ormonde becuase it's in the middle of town but off the main street. The room was very large and very comfortable. The bed was especially comfortable and I was very impressed with the breakfast. All in all, I would... More

Right in the middle of everything, the Ormonde location is great. Parking is easy right across the street. Very nice accommodations in every way. We did not eat at the hotel, but the bar and restaurant had several patrons. Our only complaint was the firmness of the bed. We like affirm mattress, but these were very uncomfortable to both of...
