    As above

    Breakfast excellent. Only real problem was the cleanliness of the room. It seemed to be rushed and not very thorough. We had to ask for tea bags; toilet rolls not replaced on one occasion.

    The smell of cigarette smoke wafting into the hotel lobby because of people smoking right outside the entrance.

    We got a room upgrade because our slated rooms were not available at 3 pm (we had arrived at 1:30 pm and waited). The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice.

    Central hotel to enjoy an easy walk to the Cork city centre life
    • Leisure trip

    • Stayed 2 nights

    None of this is a deal breaker selecting this hotel, however, some notes: despite having a room for 4, we continued to receive towels for 2 for the entire stay; the staff at the reception fixed it, maybe it's picky, but you are also paid good money for a good service in a 4* hotel. The breakfast space requires more attention from the crew: I totally get and justify that when there is a lot of people it may be difficult for the crew to follow-up on everything, however, when we stayed you could notice a bit of chaos and the breakfast experience was not optimal (broken coffee machine, no plates, sticky floors).

    The hotel is super central and you can go anywhere in Cork from there; the room is quite and the staff is very kind and quick to solve issues. I would rate this hotel 7.5

    There were 3 of us in the room and we had to ask each day for a third set of towels, rather than being left them. The coffee shop which served the light breakfast didn’t open till 10.30 some days.

    Very comfortable beds, quiet room, quiet air conditioning on a warm weekend. Overall a very pleasant stay in a great location. Would recommend to others.

    We were delighted to hear that our room is on the fourth floor, until we found out that the ground floor is floor #3. The view from our room 428 (in reality located on the first floor) was…how to put it politely… disappointing: nothing but heat exchangers, compressors, ventilation ducts right in front of the window and, the cherry on the cake, the remains of a big seagull (a wing, two long legs including claws and plenty of feathers) which had been scavenged by whatever predator. So we closed the curtains and never opened them again until check-out. Luckily it was spring and those AC-compressors were not running.

    The location is fantastic, very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast buffet.

    Supply ear plugs as the music from the building beside at night was very loud , we changed room but would have stayed in room if there was earplugs , it can solve a problem for an extremely cheap solution

    Staff friendly great location , good value for money , also the car park was a close walk which was good because sometimes in city’s it can be much further

    Bed was soft and pillows hard in our opinion. Dinner in the restaurant was disappointing as my main course wasn't good. Side lights in our room stopped working.

    Room was modern and well decorated. Bathroom was very big. Very quiet considering it was Easter weekend.
