    Top. The food in the hotel's own restaurant was excellent.

    The beds were too narrow for two adult people. We had two double rooms

    The hotel had a very central location in walking distance to cafes. Pizzeria Four Star Pizza was located 5 minutes walk away.

    The breakfast was not included.

    Central location, friendly staff & clean rooms with modern decoration & facilities.

    The bedroom wall to the corridor had poor sound proofing.

    helpful staff
    early check-in

    It was just a fine choice for a weekend outing in Cork with value for money. The very helpful hotel staff allowed me to check in early, great since it was raining. Make sure to inquire about parking options before you arrive.

    misleading breakfast service

    The newly refurbished rooms are centrally located and very comfortable.

    The breakfast in bed option was misleading and required an upgrade that I wasn't informed about.

    The location is very good, the center can be reached in only a few minutes on foot, bars, pubs and shopping facilities are right in front of the hotel door. . There's a parking garage just around the corner. With hotel discount a ticket for one to two days costs 7,50 Euro. The breakfast is very tasty, rich and can also be freshly prepared on request. Bed and pillow are very comfortable.

    A historic hotel with charm and attentive, friendly staff. The breakfast is extensive and extremely tasty. About the full irish breakfast there are also enough alternatives. We'll be back!

    Unfortunately, it's a little noisy, just when the vacuum cleaner starts.

    This hotel is within a few minutes walk of the train station and onwards to the city centre. Friendly efficient staff and nice decoration. We have stayed there before and will do so again. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a reasonably priced, good hotel.

    On previous stays at this hotel our rooms were very nice and of good size but this time room was very small as was the bathroom (which didn't even have a shelf for toiletries - had to lower the lid of the toilet to use as a shelf!) No complaints other than that.
