Small Boutique Feeling

The hotel is fine, but it could definitely use an update. I was happy to see a fan included in the room, as it did get very hot. The hotel pub was great with live Irish music, as well as the vast morning breakfast.

Lovely Stay

The Hibernian is a beautiful hotel and the staff was very accommodating. The location across the street from the Left Bank is great and a short walk to the Kilkenny Castle.

We loved the Hibernian. The location could not be beat. Breakfast was delicious and the staff were very nice. It was also great to have a bar downstairs for a late night drink before going to bed.

We absolutely loved our stay at the hotel. The location was perfect. The hotel is lovely. Dreamy beds! The breakfast was excellent. Our favorite parts were sitting outside in front of the hotel with our drinks As we people watched. In the evening, we loved the beautiful bar and listening to the Irish folk singer.

Nicely located hotel. Walkable area with a number of pubs and restaurants. Pretty low key area. Room in my view was tired. And hot. Staff was very nice. Parking across the street was €16.
