Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel Review
Located a 6-minute stroll from the delightful walled Rothe House and Garden, the perfect 4-star Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel offers 58 rooms with views of the courtyard. The boutique hotel is situated in the very heart of Kilkenny, a few steps from such cultural attractions as National Design & Craft Gallery.
The Hibernian offers a daily cooked-to-order breakfast. Featuring a spacious terrace, Harpers Restaurant restaurant serves contemporary cuisine. To cater to every palate, it offers a gluten free menu. Guests can relax in the on-site lounge bar. There is also a café with different healthy dishes in the area.
The luxury property has a central location 5 minutes on foot from the Rothe chapel "Medieval Mile Museum", and within a 5-minute drive of St Canices Cathedral and Round Tower. Places of worship to visit quite close to the Hibernian Kilkenny include the dominican friary "Black Abbey".
Visit Duck pond, around 5 minutes by car from the perfect accommodation, and feel complete harmony with the nature of Ireland. Guests can easily get in touch with the history of Kilkenny by visiting Kilkenny Castle, located only a short distance from Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel.
Some rooms include a terrace and a dining area featuring individual climate control and an ironing set, along with complimentary wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. They are furnished with boutique decor. Providing a shower, some bathrooms have a hair dryer and toiletries.
Kilkenny bus stop, offering a direct link to the city attractions and main places, is only 5 minutes' walk from the property.
