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.
