Incredible Family-Friendly Stay!

We had an amazing experience at the Newpark Hotel in Kilkenny! The hotel itself is beautiful and well-maintained, but what really sets it apart is how perfect it is for families. There’s Jurassic Newpark adventure park attached with a variety of animals to visit, which our kids absolutely loved. The playground and large inflatable were huge hits and gave us plenty of time to relax while the kids were entertained for hours. The hotel staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere was relaxed yet elegant. Everything from the rooms to the dining areas felt family-friendly without sacrificing comfort or style. This is truly one of the best hotels we’ve stayed at in Ireland for traveling with children — a perfect mix of luxury and fun!

Not worth $700 for two nights

It was definitely not worth what we paid. The air-conditioning didnt work very well and the family hotel room was very very basic and not very big. The restaurant was terrible. Made a reservation for 730 and didnt get sat till almost 8. When we were sat it was in the back of the resteraunt in the corner was soooooooo hot. The wait staff was stressed and the it was palpable. Sadly we wouldn't recommend to stay there and definitely not to eat there.

So many children running about and crying- staff totally overwhelmed. everything had to be prebooked due to the numbers if families so did not feel like a holiday. Pool full of kids- I have older kids so understand kids are unpredictable but we were also on holiday and the numbers were just overwhelming. hotel felt like a giant uncleaned playground for toddlers. sorry but not a nice experience as s holiday…only if you have toddlers.

Beautiful hotel

We arrived very early so the room wasn't ready understandably, they took our number and phoned us as soon as it was, which was 2 hours before check in. Room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and hot

The hotel is located in a great area and was very comfortable to stay in. You could tell the staff was overworked as the majority of them were short and not super friendly. The perfume/cologne smell in the lobby is incredibly overwhelming and had several guests commenting on it near us.

Great trip but lots of maintenance work in progres

We had a great family holiday at the hotel. Only downside was the maintenance works going on throughout the external area from car park building, painting external walls and Jurassic park was brilliant but also very much under construction. Feel some gesture or acknowledgement from management of the disruption would have been nice.

If you're a couple having a relaxing weekend away I wouldn't book this hotel. If you're a family with kids it would be a great hotel to stay in. Booked for a couples weekend since I saw it was 4 star and had a spa so it ended up not being a very relaxing hotel experience but it was fine since we were out most of the time.
