The Waterfront Townhouse Accommodation, hotel in Kilkenny

Seconds away from the River Nore and Kilkenny Castle, The Waterfront Townhouse Accommodations provides well-appointed rooms in a city center location. Guests can enjoy free WiFi.

Very comfortable room, clean, updated, and super location. Our room had a partial castle view and overlooked the river. The only issue with such a central location is the busy street that comes with some noise. We closed the windows and one of us also used ear plugs and the issue was solved. Enjoy Kilkenny!

    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!
