The Hoban Hotel Achieves #2 Hotel in Kilkenny

The Hoban Hotel Achieves #2 Hotel in Kilkenny

Our Awards

Last November, The Hoban Hotel was privileged to receive a couple of hard-won awards from Trip Advisor.

The first of these were the Traveller’s Choice award, which is an award we have received in the past and it’s always great to win as it acts as such a great stamp of approval to all of the lovely reviews we receive.

If you didn’t know, this award is handed out every year and is given to local hotels (among other destinations and attractions) based on the ratings and reviews it had collected over the previous 12 months. This award is given almost entirely based on these customer responses, so we are grateful to those who stay and dine with us for the lovely words they share.

This places The Hoban Hotel in the top 10% of hotels worldwide – a recognition that reflects our commitment to exceptional service, comfort, and guest satisfaction.

But the latest news we received was that we had achieved the #2 on Trip Advisor for hotels in Kilkenny. This is fantastic to hear and marks such a milestone in how far the hotel has come. To be the second-most favourably reviewed hotel in such a tourist destination like Kilkenny is amazing.

Kilkenny is home to many fantastic hotels, and to be recognised as one of the very best is a huge honour. We are truly grateful for the continuous support of our guests, whose reviews and recommendations have helped us achieve this ranking.

It wasn’t too long ago that we were #7 on Trip Advisor for hotels in Kilkenny, but only a couple of years ago we refurbished the hotel, our amazing staff has truly worked hard, and now here we are.

A Team Effort

Behind every glowing review, every memorable stay, and every happy guest, there is a dedicated team working tirelessly to provide the best possible experience. From our front desk team who offer a warm welcome, to our housekeeping staff who ensure every room is pristine, to our talented chefs at the 1801 restaurant who craft delicious meals – every single member of our team has played a role in this success.

Their hard work, passion, and dedication are the heart of The Hoban Hotel, and these awards are a reflection of their commitment to excellence. We couldn’t be prouder of our incredible team!

Thank You to Our Guests

These awards would not have been possible without the wonderful feedback and support from our guests. Whether you have left us a review, recommended us to friends and family, or simply chosen The Hoban Hotel as your home away from home, we want to say thank you. Your kind words and loyalty mean the world to us.

Looking Ahead

While we take a moment to celebrate, we remain committed to continuous improvement and making every guest experience even better. Whether you’re visiting Kilkenny for business or leisure, we look forward to welcoming you and ensuring your stay is nothing short of exceptional.

Once again, a huge thank you to our amazing team and valued guests – this achievement belongs to all of us!

With 2025 already underway, we here at The Hoban Hotel are very excited to see what else the year holds for us…
