Hey lads,
I'm looking for a bit of help finding a hotel in kilkenny city this weekend, it needs to be pretty central if possible? A lot of hotels seem to be booked up at the moment! Anyone reccommend a nice cheap central hotel?

Thanks a million

Stayed in days hotel last weekend..10 min walk from the town which helped sober us up. Think it was €90 for twin room which included a pretty much all you can eat breakfast.

No way is days hotel a 10 min walk from town! It is at least 25!... At the very least!!

To do that journey in 10 minutes you would have to be doing 9 miles per hour, which is a moderate running pace.

Maybe Hitman had been jogging for 15 minutes before he became sober enough to start keeping track of time...

Kavsmdf, try the kilkenny inn at one end of town, or the pembroke or the clubhouse at the other, langtons as well. All within 1-2 minutes jog of the town centre and reasonable.

Berkley house on Patrick seems to be one of the cheaper options, I don't know if there are any rooms available this weekend but their rate is €60 - €65.

I tried the other Hotels on www.hotelium.com and they all seem to over a €100 a night.
I've never stayed in the Berkley house but I'd imagine Tripadvisor.com would have a few reviews, it's seems to be a popular budget option.
Also give the Club House Hotel a call, it's long past its best but good for that reason too, they might be able to give you a good rate as they are not a chain hotel.
both of these are city centre.

It is at least 25 - 30 min walk and on the ring road. Either wrong hotel or still having effect of the night before.:D

Totally forgot about the Metropole, didn't even realise it still operated as a hotel.

Yeah, I'd love to take over as General Manager there, it'd be the sort of challenge I'd love. Place has a totally naff reputation.

Last review on tripadvisor was Nov 9, 2009, so not that long. TBH I think it's off everyones radar including my own.
