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.

Highly recommend

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.

You'll never sleep at this hotel.

One thing ruined this stay. Just one, and it's a Massive issue. The hotel is simply too noisy at night. Not from any bar or outside, but from ancient plumbing and vents, elevator shaft noises etc. I can sleep through a hurricane, but my room on the first floor overlooking the rear of the premise was like being trapped in a tumble dryer all night , as every 30 seconds what sounded like a generator (I later found out was a ventilation system) went off, creating an incesent humming noise making it impossible to sleep. I eventually spoke to reception who in fairness switched our room at 2am, only for the noise to still be there, but this time with an added elevator pulley system making a noise like a jackhammer every few mins. Simply put, the rooms are not soundproofed, and for a supposed 4 star hotel it is simply not good enough. I would have gotten more sleep lying in the doorway outside frankly, and since we were only there for 1 night away, it kinda ruined a nice trip as we were but exhausted next day.
