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.

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.

8/10 Very good

We had to travel on a Saturday morning and the breakfast offering and entitlement was not available early so we missed out on eating to catch a train. I did leave comments that with the desk that the shower drained very slowly and I had to hurry so it wouldn't run over. No TV the TV set pixelated.

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.
