I was in Cork for a work trip and this hotel is the one that everyone at my work stays at because…read moreit is walking distance. Cork International Hotel is also walking distance from the Cork Airport. I had a huge suitecase, but I heard from other people at work that taxis will not take me to the hotel because it is so close. Sure enough, when I walked outside, I saw the hotel from the airport. The alternative to walking is waiting for the shuttle, but the shuttle only goes around every half hour. After debating for a little bit, I decide to just walk over. The walk was about 10 minutes, but if you have less luggage, I am sure you can get there in a shorter time I did. Once I got to the hotel, the front desk person was super nice. She let me check in early. The room itself was pretty spacious. I also like the fact that the walls were thick enough that I did not hear the room next door. The only thing that I did not like was the bathroom was sort of musty and smelly. I think it might be from the curtains or there is not enough ventilation in the bathrooms. I normally just closed my bathroom door to keep away from the smell. Aside from that, I had no complaints about the room. I got the room with the breakfast, so I wandered downstairs every morning. It was a pretty decent spread with all the basics. The only thing was it is sort of hard to find the chef who cooks the omlettes, pancakes, etc. Normally, when I stand around, one of the waiters would find the chef for me. Even though, I did not really have a choice on where I stayed for my business trip, I had no complaints about the hotel and would not mind staying here again.

She was personable and attentive and gave us a map with some recommendations for places to go. Also, Giselle spent time giving us suggestions on all the great spots to see. The rooms were immaculate, very clean and loved the kitchenette area complete with oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and plates with silverware. The water pressure was great as were the toiletries. The morning breakfast buffet had a lot of different foods such as breads, pastries, overnight oats, eggs, sausage and bacon and amazing coffee. The buffet was well supplied and the customer service was exceptional all the way around. I highly recommend this hotel if you are staying in Cork.

I stayed at the Moxy in Cork just for two nights and I really enjoyed myself. This is a brand new…read moreMoxy which I assume took over another former hotel. The place is really nice inside with lots of updates and the trendy decor you'd expect from a Moxy. I've stayed in a few Moxy hotels in NYC and enjoyed my stays. The rooms are always small but economical with plenty of storage for such a small space. That is exactly how this Moxy was, too. The bed was very comfy and the TV had the best selection of channels I experienced from any hotel in Ireland during my stay. There's a desk that folds out from the wall, a small stool, a nook with a seat, and hooks for you to hang your clothes. I really appreciated the lighting since it wasn't just overwhelming overhead lighting. The location is unbeatable as well. Right in the middle of Cork overlooking the river. There's plenty of great bars and restaurants on that side of the river but even more fun places to explore across the way. Everything I wanted to eat and drink was no more than a 15 minute walk away. The reason for the four stars is that the shower, while very nice upon first look, leaked water onto the floor. This was one of the only hotels I saw in Ireland which had a full glass shower door which closed (hallelujah!) but it somehow STILL leaked water onto the ground. Upon brief inspection, I believe the cause may be some sort of construction error. The glass didn't seem to be properly fitted. The other issue I had was with the bathroom door. It's one of those annoying barn doors which slides and this particular door would get stuck and jam if closed all the way. Being alone in the room, this wasn't a make or break issue but if I was traveling with alongside someone, I'd definitely want that door to shut properly and I definitely wouldn't want to be concerned with how I'd get back out. The bar downstairs is really cute and I found all the staff members to be absolutely delightful. From check-in to cocktails to asking questions about the bus system and mailing a postcard, every single staff member was so friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed my time spent with the bartenders, Olivia and Chris, who provided great drinks and even greater conversation. Being that it's a new hotel, I'm guessing there's just a few kinks that need to be worked out in terms of construction. I'd probably still return despite those issues. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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.

I liked the Maldron because the people were so friendly! We had been traveling for a few days and…read moreneed some clothes laundered and they made it so easy. 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.

We chose Carrigaline Court for our two-night stay near Cork for a few reasons:…read more 1. Free car park 2. Walking proximity to restaurants and bars 3. Less expensive stay than in Cork Central 4. Full leisure center The front desk staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. The rooms were comfortable - the usual amenities were available (hair dryer, trouser press, ironing board, hot water heater). The pool, sauna, and steam room were nice. Mind that a swim cap is needed to use the pool, and a shower in between is required for use of each room. Why not five stars for Carrigaline Court? The Collins Bar - that's why. The service is fantastic everywhere else in the hotel, but not here. All we wanted was a nightcap and dessert, and since the Bistro was closed, the bar was our only option. We sat down for 20 minutes before we could flag someone down. Our server could not understand what we wanted (apparently not everyone in Ireland knows what an Irish coffee is), and the bartender forgot our order of water three times before we got really frustrated. Then they had the gall to give us the check after such terrible service! Never again. Overall - great night's stay, but you're better off elsewhere for drinks.

I had eaten in the bar area on a few occasions in the past but last Saturday night was my first experience of the Bistro and I feel I have got to share my experience with anyone who is interested! In fact my party included a group of 12 adults, all celebrating a special birthday of one of my sisters. From start to finish, the service was impeccable, friendly, attentive and efficient - and I can tell you it was not easy to please this group and have patience waiting for everyone to select their food choice. But, that was not an easy task as the choice was unbelievably large - there was such a fast array of food choices on both starters and mains! We had actually pre-booked their special 2 course menu of starters and mains at €19.99 per head, plus tea/coffee (we had provided our own lovely homemade cake for dessert which was used for the candle blowing out ceremony! - how nice that the staff agreed to this without hesitation and were very happy to cut and serve the cake with accompanying icecream for a little extra charge). Without going into detail, the huge range of starters included a number of fish dishes, duck, chicken, pates, salads, soups etc, and all the mains were just fantastic with a large selection of local fish dishes being a specialty, including monkfish, which is normally quite expensive in most restaurants. Our table was located in a lovely cosy and warm corner of the restaurant, which was almost private for our party, and when the food arrived it was served by 3 members of staff so that we all got our food almost at the same time. The presentation was wonderful, piping hot and beautifully presented food. Extra bowls of yummy creamy garlic potatoes were served for sharing as well as mashed potatoes and chips, not to mention extra bowls of salad and vegetables. A most wonderful experience from start to finish and not one of us could find fault with a single thing so that's saying something. It is a birthday celebration that my sister will remember for a long time to come. Well done to t he Carrigaline Court Hotel and their friendly and efficient waiting staff at the Bistro.
