If you are going to Kilkenny, a stay at the Kilkenny Hibernian is a great place to choose. It is an old hotel but has plenty of charm, classical comfort. The restaurant is lovely especially the included breakfast. Staff are fabulous

Lovely

Amazing view. Everyone in the Hotel and the town are so welcoming. Only thing I have to say, not important, the room had too many furniture. Table and a wardrobe is more than ok. Most of us live off of our luggage.
