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.

If you are going to Kilkenny, a stay at the Kilkenny Hibernian is a great place to choose. It is an old hotel but has plenty of charm, classical comfort. The restaurant is lovely especially the included breakfast. Staff are fabulous

6/10

Parking not available through hotel - parking garage across the street was expensive and operated poorly. Hotel restaurant was mediocre and expensive. Hotel room furniture was not in the best shape and there were multiple stains on the carpet. It was also reasonably hot weather and the hotel had no AC, which is understandable, but the window barely opened. Felt very expensive for what we received.

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.
