Great location. Lovely fit out throughout. Room spotless and sensitively serviced. Didn’t use facilities but bar seemed cosy and menu decent value. Reception staff were lovely. Room was massive! Only very minor complaints - shower pressure not great, fridge didn’t work annd anurcon a little old style controls but worked. softer pillows would have been lovely.

Excellent large room and bathroom, large restaurant and bar (stops serving food at 9 though).... parking next door with an interior link (12 euros a night etc)... property as at the edge of the nightlife and shopping 10-15 minute walk, but clearly an up and coming area - Cork was happening too... A very clean, modern spacious property... We also had the buffet breakfast.. good selection, and finally some fruit!

Cork review

Staff were very helpful and nice. Room was amazing, best shower! Windows opened. Breakfast was not included, we ate elsewhere. The parking and trying to get there and trying to figure it out was a nightmare. It is downtown, by the river, and traffic was horrible. We found a car park on Google maps, just by chance it was the hotels car park, they stamped your ticket and it was $12 a day. I guess I assumed Cork was a smaller town, not knowing the area.

Great place and we loved the people from Cork!!

Emma in the front desk was incredible. The room was clean and comfortable, the only thing we should mention is our window was facing a street where all the homeless people were and it was quite frightening as they were screaming most of the time and fighting between each over, we could also never open the window because of this same reason but I guess the hotel has no control over that.
