Annual Girls Trip
Pros:

Our annual girls trip to Kilkenny did not disappoint. From the warm welcome at reception to the attentive staff in the bar and delicious lunch menu with fantastic atmosphere for the rugby on display we had a wonderful time.
The rooms were incredibly clean and had a wonderful time catching up together
The hotel is so central and everything is in walking distance.
Thank You to Andrew and the team for making it another successful break away for us busy full time working moms / careers. We appreciate it.

Thank You Hotel Hibernian

Great hotel in central area.
Pros:

Beautiful hotel in the center of Kilkenny. Good food and entertainment which we weren't expecting. Rooms are lovely but very warm, as you can't open the window on 3 rd floor. Staff are helpful and friendly, however lady on reception could do with a refresher course for hospitality as she lets this lovely hotel down.

Cons:

Unfortunately one person on reception would not encourage you to return to this great hotel.
