Joanna has been the nicest host. She's been so kind and let us leave our luggage at the house before check-in time. Furthermore she gave us useful tips where to go and what to see. The room was spotless and cosy. Everything is in a short walking distance.

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.

Our stay at Rafter's exceeded our expectations! We arrived before the 3:00 PM check in and they were able to store our bags while we went to explore the town. The location was very central to shops and attractions in Kilkenny, and the room was clean and comfortable. We stayed on a Sunday night, so the neighborhood was very quiet. We had dinner in the pub; we received great service and the food was delicious - especially the steak! The best part of our stay was interacting with Jerry. He was very attentive and was able to provide drink recommendations. We watched a TV show with him and some other customers in the pub in the evening, and at the end of the night he showed us hurling and Irish football on TV after we expressed interest in learning about the sports. Jerry had a table set for us when we came down for breakfast in the morning. The included breakfast was great and set us up for a good day of traveling! Overall, it was a great experience and a great value.

Bit nervous beforehand after seeing some of these reviews but I honestly don't know what they're talking about - the place was great. My room was lovely and also spotless, it was perfectly warm, and the location couldn't have been better. Really loved the big bay windows overlooking the castle and river. Also the owner/host was very responsive when I had some questions beforehand. Would definitely book again if I am back in Kilkenny!

A few steps away from the city center, parking included just behind the structure. The guesthouse is finely furnished and the host provides some complementarities, which is always appreciated. The bed was very comfy!

The rooms in this quaint house are very pretty- tasteful decor, warm, and welcoming. They aren't big but my single room was just right for me and my friend's double room worked for them as a couple. The bed was very comfortable and the setting was quiet. Coffee/tea pot tea/coffee was a nice touch. The owner was very responsive and check in is via door code so no need to meet up with them to get the key. Short walk into the center of town, so great location. Easy parking on site.
