The hotel was amazing it was right in the middle of town. Very close to the Abbey, the tower, and the castle! It was my husband‘s birthday so they left us a card and chocolate bar as a gift. I think they may have even upgraded our room!

Charming local hotel.

Loved the Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel! Great location! So easy to get there from the JJ Kavanaugh bus stop. Well-located in town to see the castle and walk by the river. Friendly service in every encounter. T he hotel was charming. Room was exactly as pictured. The only thing was that it was unseasonably warm in Kilkenny during our stay & our non- air conditioned room was on the top floor. You could feel the heat rise as we approached our room. The room was equipped with both a ceiling and a desk fan, so that helped. We loved having live music at the bar in the hotel. It was so easy. It had the local feel that we were looking for. Clean and comfortable. We would stay here again for certain.

The location was excellent. We enjoyed the breakfast, which was included in the price. We also enjoyed the drinks and live music at the pub. The initial impression of our room was not great, as the carpet and some of the furniture were stained.
