"Arrived to a lovely lady playing Beethoven in the lobby, the check-in was effortless - bear in mind you do need a VISA card. The rooms were clean and spacious. The bar was cool and the bar staff were even cooler - Kevin was A1. Felt very safe at nighttime as one needs to be buzzed in the main reception door. The hotel is situated in an excellent location just 7 minutes walk to the train station and on the same road, no turns. Lots of nice bars and restaurants on this same road too. Would definitely stay here again."

"This is a fantastic choice for your stay in Cork and I plan to stay again for my next trip! The bed was very comfortable. I travel with my own pillow, ear plugs and eye mask, so I can't comment on that stuff, but didn't notice any issues. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Location is right by the buses for day tours and central to everything you'll want to see!"

"Don’t judge the photos —I had a good laugh over the ashtray on the toilet paper dispenser so it has to be documented. Also this chef special porridge is truly exquisite and I had it both mornings and hope to replicate it at home. After 5 days of fried breakfasts this was a godsend. This was a very strange stay, our first room was gorgeous. Perfect for our anniversary and first trip to Cork City. We had a package deal and so we had a welcome plate and a lovely anniversary cocktail based on famous folks who had stayed at the hotel. Only downside was my husband ordered a cocktail and then they were out of the ingredients, but no harm. Then out to the town we went. The next day the guest above us overflowed their tub and water came streaming through the ceiling lights directly into our open suitcase. The staff were great. They moved us into a less grand room a few doors down. Offered cleaning and drying but unfortunately with an early departure the next day dry cleaning wouldn’t work. It was a damper (pun intended) on the stay, but the manager was really great at taking care of us, comping the second night. Ultimately would stay here again next time we are in Cork."

"Dropped in for a meal on a visit to cork City, ordered BBQ chicken wings which were over cooked and then had to ask for a finger bowl to clean our fingers as they didn't supply wipes , our main course supreme of chicken came out on very hot plates but unfortunately the chicken was warm and the mash potatoes that it was served on was cold ,they took away our meals and offered us a drink after a while the meals returned which was pleasant but having to complain about the meal took away the enjoyment of the meal. The staff were very friendly and attentive, if it was only the staff to rate on it would have been a higher star rating"
