The units features a flat-screen TV with cable channels, a shower, a hairdryer and a desk. The Guesthouse offers certain rooms with lake views, and each room comes with a private bathroom. Guests have access to tea/coffee making facilities in the breakfast room.

The location was perfect for anyone wanting to be close to Cork without staying downtown. It was so easy to get to Douglas for some great dining options when we didn’t want to go back into Cork. The hosts were amazing, helpful, so fun to talk to, and very understanding when our flights got delayed and we got in late.

    Comfy beds, quiet location and excellent breakfast. Staff were helpful and friendly too. Cork Kent train station less than 10 mins on the bus and city centre less than 15mins away. Late checkout and long breakfast hours were a bonus too.

    The hotel is very charming, in an old building with a waterfall in the yard. Shops, clubs, pubs and restaurants are nearby, the city centre is 5 min by walk. Aircoach to Dublin in the same street. Breakfast was very good and not expensive. Wlan worked very well, the beds were comfortable. I got a quiet room on request in the 3rd floor (well isolated window). I would definitely stay here again!

    I stayed here for a couple of nights in visiting CUH (hospital) to visit a relative. Staff were pleasant; the room was well-appointed though the bathroom was dated. Charming old building, wonderful location in downtown Cork. Really quiet at night time which was appreciated. The Imperial is a classy old-style hotel in a great location. Nice view to the front of hotel from our room and the windows seemed well sound-proofed from traffic noise.

    Perfectly located for the city centre ,quiet ,friendly atmosphere. A good shared kitchen and shared sitting area . You can leave your bags before or after check in/out but there is a small charge . The accomodation is so much cheaper than most other accommodation in Cork. It is for students so bear that in mind
