They have a great set up with different variety of breakfast items and beverages. If anyone visits Cork, I recommend this place. The employees were also very attentive and really nice.

The exterior is reminiscent of an affluent family manor...we felt posh just walking in! The staff were friendly and helpful. We had a spacious, comfortable room, which included bottled water. The bathroom, like many in Europe, was on the small side and lacked washcloths; but it was functional. Our bed was very comfortable and we slept soundly. The room was pretty soundproof too, which was a plus to get restful sleep. The breakfast options were pretty typical for European hotels. I could tell this was a better option for the area, as we took a taxi back one day and the driver seemed impressed. I would definitely recommend a stay here and would happily book here if ever in Cork again.

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!

I wanted to take a moment to recognize Mark Tobin at the Residence Inn & Moxy Hotels in Cork for…read morehis outstanding customer service. My sister, a recent widow, was traveling with her daughter--who is studying abroad in Ireland--and her son. When they arrived at the hotel, they discovered that all the rooms at the Moxy only accommodate two people. As a Titanium member with over 100 nights at Marriott last year, I travel frequently, yet I had never stayed at a Moxy before and didn't realize this detail wasn't clearly stated on the website. To complicate matters, both the Moxy and its sister hotel were fully booked. The only option given was to book a second room, which wasn't ideal for their situation and would have doubled their travel budget. My sister called me in tears, unsure of what to do. That's when I reached out and spoke with Mark. He was smart, kind, and incredibly resourceful. Despite the sold-out status, he went above and beyond--checking carefully until he found a solution. He located a room at the Residence Inn that was out of service due to a minor issue (a hairdryer needed replacing) and was able to move my sister and her family there. This completely saved the day and made all the difference for my sister during an already emotional trip. Instead of simply saying, "We're sold out," Mark took the extra steps to find a solution--something that should be the gold standard in hospitality. His efforts should be recognized and celebrated. Marriott prides itself on exceptional service, and Mark truly embodies that. Thank you, Mark, for your professionalism, kindness, and dedication to guests. I hope Marriott acknowledges and rewards your excellence!

The hotel itself is kind of dated but the rooms were comfortable as were the beds. There was also a breakfast option. There was a continental option with cereal and yogurt as well as the hot breakfast options which included the full Irish. Overall, a comfortable stay in cork.

This hotel is not in city centre but is is very close by. Right off the fwy coming from the blarney…read morecastle it is very easy to locate. The rooms were very large and had a very large bathroom. The beds were double beds, not twins like most other hotels. They have really amazing free wifi! The best connection I had in all of my stays while traveling in Ireland. I recommend this place if you don't mind a short drive, taxi or whatever to the city centre. Great friendly service.

Great start to our 3 week adventure. We arrived beyond exhausted after the worst travel day ever…read more But arrived here in the evening and could not recommend this hotel more. Thankfully they had a lift (elevator) as we had 3 weeks worth of stuff. We decided to consolidate the next couple days into our smaller suitcase. But our room had another room as you come in. Plenty of room to store our 6 bags without being in our way. The beds were firmer than we are used to. But we slept well. Room was quiet and dark. Shower bath had excellent water pressure. Staff were so welcoming and helpful. Definitely get their breakfast!!! We didnt have time to try the spa. Park is included but have to walk a couple blocks. Wish we were staying longer here. Cute town. Lovely cathedrals. Castle. Strolled the River walk. Dinner Matt the Miller.

This review is for Lafayette's inside this hotel. A food tour as part of a team building event…read morebrought us to Lafayette's and I had the most delicious Gluten-Free scone I've ever had. On my last day before I departed from Cork I decided to go back for more. Unfortunately, they had none of the scones that day BUT they had the most amazing Gluten-Free chocolate something muffin. I thought the scone was good but THIS was phenomenal. Spongy, soft, melt in your mouth goodness. I was going to take a few home with me on the plane but they only had one left! It paired extremely well with a latte!
