With our first choice being booked up we decided upon the Hibernian. It was excellent value for money, the rooms were clean and whilst not spacious were certainly adequate. Our onoy problem was the noise, which was down to the location of our room (the last one beside the reception) In fairness they did warn us but couldn't change the... More

We arrived in Kilkenny with no hotel reservation and stopped at the Hibernian. They only had two rooms remaining - one a smoking room and the other had a window with a broken latch. The desk clerk gave us keys to both rooms so we could have a look. The smoking room was quickly removed from the equation as it... More

My experience in the Hibernian hotel was fantastic. It accommodated a large crowd with great ease. The staff were excellent and extremely helpful on every front. They went to every length to make sure our weekend ran smoothly- which made all the difference. They catered for every need. The food was good standard, rooms were clean and comfortable. The location... More

We stayed here during a driving trip. Location smack bang in the centre of Kilkenny which makes it ideal. Staff curtious, food of a good standard and served on a hot plate which makes a difference. The hotel and room were spotless and the bar was very cosy with its log fire. More

Had a pub lunch at the Hibernian Hotel on Sunday 30th, were only having a sandwich but expected something nice because of the Gastro Pub of the Year flags outside. My friend waited nearly 30 minutes for her sandwich which was only ok, nothing special with a few tiny french fries. I was supposed to get a ham salad sandwich... More

I was sick the night I stayed here and had to leave party I was with to go back to room. Staff couldn't have been more accomodating, delivering my dinner to my room and outside of room service hours dropping up water for me. Reception were so friendly on check in too. Just don't come here at weekend for quiet... More
