Review of Kilkenny Hibernian Hotel 3*

This hotel was a great place to stay. I had a nice room and the service was excellent. I got complimentary breakfast as part of my package and it was very tasty with a variety of foods including more traditional Irish foods. I was there on a Sunday and Monday in October so the pricing for the room was very reasonable and there were very few other guests. I didn't eat lunch or dinner in the hotel but the pub/restaurant area had a really nice ambiance. My favorite part about this hotel was its location. I wanted to see as many of the sites in Kilkenny as possible by foot and this was a great place to stay to do it. I was able to easily walk to the Castle — it is literally just around the corner. I also visited some of the cathedrals and other historical places and just wandered around. I felt safe while in Kilkenny and the hotel added to that greatly with their friendly service and clean, comfortable rooms that were really nice to return to after a long day walking about. There were only two things at all strange or negative that happened. For some reason my key card kept not working and I had to go to the front desk to have them recharge it (or whatever the term is) several times. It wasn't on my end because I kept it away from my phone, etc. I think the lock on the door may have had problems or something. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal just a bit of an annoyance but the staff were very apologetic and helpful. The other thing was that I got a big cold in the night and I couldn't find a way to turn up the heat. Not sure if there was a way because I never asked as I was leaving the next day. So, again, it may have just been that I didn't know and could have asked. I just didn't bother to find out. Overall, a great place to stay. I wasn't there on a weekend night so I can't weigh in on the noise from the clubs (other reviewers' complaints) but it is was a great place for me.
