• Dragana (8/5): - Super Lage, aber das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen.

• Marie (5/5): Will stay again. - Breakfast excellent. Dinner good too. We ran out of toilet roll.
• Marie (8/5): - Location..is perfect. Staff are friendly and helpful breakfast was very good It was very noisy and hard to sleep . generator or something 😔
• Heather (9/5): Great hotel! Would stay again on future visits to Kilkenny! - We loved our stay at Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel! Front desk staff was very welcoming, as was the bartender for our welcome drinks and Guinness. Room was spacious and comfortable. Hotel was centrally located to explore Kilkenny. Pay parking, no A/C, and the banging of empty kegs early in the morning out our window.
• LIANE (10/5): Céntrico - Muy cómodo, muy céntrico y con un pub muy autentico
• Michel (8/5): - Die Lage des Hotels mitten in Kilkenny ist perfekt für alle Aktivitäten in der Stadt. Das Zimmer war schön gross für 3 Personen. Das Frühstück sehr lecker man konnte aus sehr vielen Gerichten auswählen. Die Spühlung hörte sich nach dem spühlen für ca. 2 minuten an als würde im Zimmer ein Presslufthammer in Betrieb sein. Nicht ideal mitten in der Nacht. Der Fahrstuhl war sehr sehr sehr langsam.
• Martha (7/5): Great location and friendly staff - Location was great Room was a bit out of date
• Brian (8/5): -
• Theresa (9/5): Perfectly situated hotel in Kilkenny - The location is excellent. It is a short 15-minute walk from the train station and situated in the center of town, just steps away from Kilkenny Castle and a super short walk to Kytelers and Smithwicks. The hotel is a bit old but is very clean and attractive. Bed was very comfortable. You are given tickets for a welcome drink at the bar once you check in. We had our included breakfast the next morning at the restaurant where they had an assortment of fruit, breads and cereals, but were also given a menu from which you could order. I did not realize that there was no air conditioning in the room when I booked it. This is not an issue for me, but my husband "runs hot". There is a ceiling fan and desk fan in the room, if you like to use those.
• dermot (9/5): - Very central. Lovely bar and reception staff. Good breakfast selection. Car parking up the street,a minor inconvenience.
• Colette (10/5): - Very central
• Rachel (10/5): Fabulous - Could not fault it - staff, location, everything was excellent. We had a lovely big room and the bathroom was fabulous. Will definitely stay again.
• Tamzen (10/5): - Location superb, staff friendly Nothing, I'd recommend and return
• avensis_9 (10/5): Location, professional and caring staff. - The Hibernian hotel is our go to hotel on our Kilkenny visits. It consistently delivers satisfaction each time. The highlight is the amazing freshly cooked breakfast, followed closely by the brilliant check reception staff. These wonderful people set the tone for a great start to our stay every time. The cosy bar is great just to relax and chat with our friends.
• G1889NVpamelak (10/5): Vintage feel - Lovely hotel, old world feel with modern suites. Friendly staff, overall a very enjoyable stay
• Steve Burke (9/5): - Breakfast was lovely. The bar was really nice. The bar staff were great. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly
• Colin (10/5): -
• June (10/5): perfect group getaway featuring a vibrant music scene, delicious on-site dining, and beautiful canal - We stayed here as a large group and it was the perfect "home base." The location is unbeatable—you’re right near fantastic bars and live music, but also just steps away from lovely walks along the canal, which was such a peaceful way to start the day. The hotel bar was a highlight; it was the ideal spot for our group to meet for drinks before heading out. We also ended up eating several meals at the hotel because the food was so delicious. Breakfast was equally impressive—made-to-order, fresh, and a great variety of fruits and cereals with endless tea and coffee. Highly recommend for groups who want both excitement and scenic walks! No complaints Everything was great Nothing to improve.
• Florian (10/5): Absolut perfekter zentraler Punkt zum übernachten ind super Ausstattung sogar eine nespeesso Maschine am Zimmer - Sehr schöne Zimmer und nettes Personal
• Carrie (10/5): Excellent hotel. Highly recommend it - Gorgeous and clean. Great location

• Fred (10/5): -
• Traynor (6/5): Nice hotel, very very noisy. - Very nice breakfast, good central location Dreadful noise at 5.30 a.m. from beer barrels being delivered. Impossible to sleep.
• Susie (8/5): -
• Eoin (10/5): -
• Marcella (10/5): - Staff very good. Excellent I'd say. Location was perfect. Bed's very comfortable. Bar and bar food was excellent. Having to leave.
• Lisbeth (2/5): - The bed was clean and comfortable The furniture was prehistoric, breakfast was cold as was the coffee, not enough milk for coffee and cereal, not enough sugar even when asked for more, to add insult to injury had to pay for the cold food to be delivered to our room, as a result we won't be back and wouldn't recommend.
• Claudia (10/5): Highly recommend this property!!! - Great location, friendly and helpful staff, tasty food and drinks. N/a
• 20512E (6/5): Nice but room a little dated - We had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel was nice and comfortable, and our room was very clean, which we really appreciated. It did feel a little cold and somewhat dated, but it was still a comfortable space to relax. Unfortunately, our experience at the bar wasn’t the best. The staff seemed a bit unsure, and we were left waiting at an empty bar for around ten minutes before being asked what we would like to drink. That said, one member of the bar team stood out as being particularly helpful and attentive. On a more positive note, breakfast was fantastic—plenty of choice and everything was delicious, which was a great way to start the day. Overall, a comfortable stay with some lovely elements, but with a few areas that could be improved.

• Cathy (10/5): Fab hotel - Everything - location, beautiful room, we had everything we needed. My 2 boys celebrated their birthdays while staying and the hotel left cards and treats for them in the room. Staff were lovely, nothing was too much trouble. I couldn't say anything bad about the hotel
• Carl (10/5): stay here, its is very nice - this was a great stay, very nice room and we also had breakfast and that was a great meal, its in a great location I would recommend it to anyone visiting Kilkenny the check in was at 4pm and we landed in Dublin at 4am so we were very tired and they didn't really try to get us in earlier, so we were up for over 30 hours before we got our room

• Majella (10/5): Ideal location to see the beautiful city - Clenliness, staff location The lift. It is very slow
• Emma (8/5): It was a really great spot and we would definitely go back. - Perfect location, excellent breakfast and friendly helpful staff. The pub and restaurant downstairs were fantastic! With live music and a great atmosphere we also really enjoyed our dinner in the bar. The castle was just around the corner and it was a short wander down to the river. We really enjoyed the Smithwicks Brewery experience which was also a short walk away. It was a great stay overall and we would absolutely stay again.
• Thomas (8/5): Great for short stay or business trip - Location Bath, on one really used baths a better shower would be better

• Shaun (9/5): -
• derek (9/5): -
• Geraldine (9/5): -
• Brent (6/5): Convent but definitely in need of updating. - Great location Rooms are a bit dated and the bathroom are horrible. Need a good refurbished.
• José (10/5): Voltaria já hoje! 😀 - De tudo: localização do hotel, conforto, simpatia dos funcionários, dimensão do quarto, comida. Numa das noites, às 4h da manhã, o nosso sono foi interrompido por outros hóspedes a falarem alto e a baterem portas. De manhã, quando reportei a situação, fomos informadas de que, apesar das chamadas de atenção por parte do funcionário do hotel, tinha sido difícil fazer os hóspedes em causa acatarem as orientações. Apesar do exposto, a gentileza da rececionista, na explicação que nos deu, fez-nos manter a nossa opinião sobre quão excelente foi a nossa estadia no Hibernian Hotel.
• Pamela (7/5): Great location very clean and comfortable. Great breakfast - Very clean with large rooms and very comfortable beds No discount parking. Late check in time

• Daniele (9/5): -
• Barry (9/5): - Perfect location & staff were lovely No complaints but would have been good to have a shower cap
• Dmytriiev (8/5): - I booked a hotel With my friends so my friends booked her room for 150 at her room was way bigger than mine and I bought mine for 220. I just don’t really understand why did I pay more than she pays? We book the hotel the same way plus they’re really on the complaint in general was nice experience staff were really nice and the location is really good as well
• Stones (8/5): -
• William (9/5): Wonderful! - Great location near the castle and pubs. We stayed in the historic side of the hotel with a view. The room was sumptuous. The bar was cozy and the welcome cocktail was a nice touch. We could not close the blinds in the bathroom. Fortunately, there was little across the road so I don’t believe we were on display.
• Kevin (10/5): Couldn’t have asked for better, room amazing, entertainment , location, bar food etc - Couldn’t have asked for more Nothing
• Nina (9/5): -

• murphym (9/5): -
• Kate (10/5): -
• Z7415GLbradb (2/5): Don’t waste your money - First thing was they got the rooms wrong and my kids had to have a room on the floor below. Mind you a teenager and 10 year old. No central air, no fridge to keep anything cool, beds are hard as a rock, no bell service, no valet. Lady at front desk had a personality like a wet mop. Not close to 4 star.
