Great location and nice spacious room. However, our air conditioning kept turning off throughout the night and we’re not given any help in resolving the issue. Great proximity to downtown and attractions.

Great location in the middle of Cork. Room was lovely (although the view was just of an internal courtyard... Not that that mattered). Decent size room, comfy bed. Reception staff very helpful. Nice and quiet. Excellent breakfast! Restaurant nice too. Parking available at a good discounted rate in the nearby City Hall multistory. You can park outside for 15mins to drop bags though. Would stay again for sure!

Traveled with family
Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
We had to switch rooms due to a strong mold smell and hair and trash found behind the curtains. The second room, right next door, was slightly better, but the bathroom had a funky odor. It was also very noisy, as the room shook every time neighbors opened or closed their doors. To make things worse, cigarette smoke drifted in whenever the windows were open, since staff were smoking directly below. On top of that, the hotel is located on a busy street with constant traffic and construction noise, making it difficult to get any rest. Staff were great and helpful.

Good and Bad points

The hotel was Ok overall. There were good and bad points. There was a great selection of food available for breakfast - self service. And lots of gluten free options for my son. But the rooms were expensive, the view was awful and the pillow was stained. There is only space for 4 cars parking for 15mins for drop off outside. The reduced overnight parking at a nearby car park was a good discount though. There were electric car chargers at the carpark too. The online check in was pointless for a family stay, confusing and just seemed to be there to upsell you things for your stay that you probably don’t need. In my case it encouraged me to buy breakfast even though I’d paid for that with the original booking. Thankfully the hotel have refunded me the additional payments.

The good- Front desk staff was great, location was central and walkable to food, shops, waterfront. Room was comfy. The drop to good from excellent- crumbs all over the 2 chairs in the room (so not cleaned), air conditioner kept going off, vending machine that had electric adapters didn’t dispense, construction all in front made a 2 minute walk a 15 minute drive, no one gave us where to park prior to check in- so back in car for more crazy directions to get to garage.

Best sleep

The bed in my room had the comfiest mattress in the world. I liked the layout of my spacious room. Service was great, i forgot a shaver and they had them free of charge. The only issue for me was the parking a bit far from the hotel.
