Free car park on site. Beautiful pool and fitness center. The room itself was nicely appointed, no mini fridge due to a green initiative, but you could request one. Nespresso in the room and tea. Super comfortable bed and pillows. Air conditioned.

This was my 2nd favorite hotel (after Ashford Castle) while visiting Ireland. The room was spacious, modern and beautifully decorated. The ensuite bath was lovely too, really enjoyed the double sinks as that helped my sister and I get ready quicker. The location is lovely, right by the river, and we went for a walk by the river which was very nice. All the staff we encountered were very nice and helpful. If I ever have the pleasure to go to Cork again and would love to return to this hotel.

We stayed here for two nights during our stay in Cork. The room was spacious, clean and modern. The…read moreonly thing is our room was facing the Main Street, so it was quite loud in the evening, as you're right over the pubs and nightlife. You are in the heart of the Victorian Quarter, so I suppose that comes with the territory. There was a challenge with the in-room entertainment as the streaming kept either buffering or going in-and-out. One callout is that the hotel does not offer onsite parking, however, they do offer a sight discount for a parking garage they partner with, but that garage--surprisingly--isn't the closest one to the hotel. It's a few blocks away, so that's was a bummer hauling our luggage.

When we arrived at the reception we were greeted by Laura who was out guardian angel at the hotel. She provided us with many hints of what to do from the perspective of a local and assisted us with our problem. The great: The location is excellent. It's a short, 5-10 minute walk to the center of the city. It's close but at the same time nice and quiet. It's also close to a great pub with music and coffee shop around the corner. Greenes restaurant is an easy choice for breakfast. I usually don't eat at hotel restaurants but frankly it's worth eating here. We went to another highly rated place for breakfast and Greenes was much better. And cheaper. Check out the buffet, there are also a la carte choices. The good: the room is spacious as is the bathroom, and the shower is lovely. The bed was comfortable, not to squishy. The problem: our room was very musty. to the point of being a problem. We told Laura about this and she brought an air purifier. This ran during our entire visit and made the situation tolerable. So that's it. Some very good, some not so good.

The bed is comfortable, the room is spacious, and they went out of the way to make sure we had a fan because I sleep hot. Breakfast is wonderful when you get a selection of everything off the menu in the hot side, plus you can help yourself to the cold items in a buffet style. We love the heated towel racks in the bathroom, it came in handy for those chilly mornings that we know can happen here. This hotel is located at the end of the harbor, so lots of walking to the activities, but we appreciate that as we like to get our steps in. The folks in the tavern were so friendly and we went there multiple times just to have a drink and say hello to these folks I might say that the mushroom and tarragon soup was my personal favorite

Stayed here for 3 nights in June 2025. Here are some pros and cons of the stay:…read more Pros: -Centrally located. It's within walking distance to lots of restaurants, and the Cork English Market -Ice machine on every floor. We Americans love our ice! -Rooms and bathroom were pretty spacious -Crib available upon request (although we did request this ahead of time, and it was not set up until we arrived) -Mini fridge available upon request but it's SUPER small. It looks like it's meant to fit a few cans of soda, and it's not very cold - but anything is better than nothing Cons: -No parking. There's not even really a place for you to stop to unload your luggage. If you want "discounted" parking, it's a few blocks away, and there are no in and out privileges -There are a few steps leading up to the lobby, which makes it difficult to drag your luggage up. They do have a handicap lift but it doesn't work very well Overall, it was a good stay. If you're not renting a car/driving, it would be an even better stay. It looks a bit more modern than most of the other centrally-located Cork hotels.

We dropped it off at 9 am and it was back later that day. The bed was so comfortable but the pillows are hard. The shower was nice and the bathroom was large with a lot of space for all the things ladies like to bring on vacation.. We ordered food to our room one evening and to our surprise it was really delicious. The only thing I absolutely hated was that there is NO PARKING at the hotel. There a spot to unload your bags but the parking garage is at least a 10 minute walk. I really did not enjoy that. For one thing, it started raining on our way over to the car one day and we were soaked. Yes, we had rain coats and umbrellas but the wind was so terrible that it blew the umbrellas backwards. When we finally had to leave we walked over to get the car and it took forever to get back to the hotel because there is construction in front of the hotel and traffic is diverted. There was a lot of 1 way streets. I would definitely stay there again just because of the room and staff friendliness but I did not appreciate the parking situation.

Firstly the Wi-Fi was non-existent when we were there and when people are traveling out of the country they kind of depend on WiFi for cellular cost reasons. You have to do better with the bathroom lighting. Pink lighting is not great for a woman applying makeup lol. There was another light in that bathroom but it is very dim. There is nowhere to put anything like toiletries in the bathroom, no hooks, no shelving, no nothing it was very awkward in there. Also, our towel heater didn't work and I don't even think it was connected and they didn't have washcloths(which I've noticed is a thing throughout and I still don't get it lol) but no worries because I brought my own with me because I knew there would be about an 95% chance there would be no washcloths. All of this would've been a bigger deal if our stay was longer but it wasn't so these are just suggestions. Overall it's a beautiful spot and everyone was very nice.
