A recently renovated apartment set in Cork, River View Apartment Suite features a garden. With garden views, this accommodation features a patio. The apartment also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

A beautiful apartment completely stocked with everything (and more) for a relaxing stay. Bernadette, the host is most accommodating and explains the aspects of the apartment very well. I was flabbergasted by the amount of food left for my use. I’ve stayed in many apartments but have never received such a high level of service. The setting along the River is very picturesque with a lovely ornate bridge right across the street. Cork is a lovely town with a rich history and extremely nice people. Do visit!

It was a serene retreat from the hustle and bustle, allowing us to fully relax and unwind. The loft owner was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, adding a personal touch to our stay. The loft itself seemed brand new, with everything from the furnishings to the amenities giving off a fresh and well-maintained vibe. We were particularly impressed with the well-equipped kitchen, which included basic necessities like salt, pepper, and other cooking essentials – a thoughtful addition that made our stay more convenient. Additionally, the inclusion of basic toiletries like shampoo and bath salt in the bathroom was a thoughtful touch, ensuring we had everything we needed. Overall, our stay in the loft was nothing short of delightful. It provided a perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and tranquility, making it an ideal getaway. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and comfortable stay.

    It was the cheapest place I could find in the entire city for the night I stayed. For that Ill be honest I didn't expect a lot, and would have accepted that (you get what you pay for), but I was pleasantly susprised. Very clean, comfortable bed, warm, convenient location. For the money I paid I was more than happy with it.

Self service check in worked perfectly beautiful room with huge very comfy bed very very quiet. Location was ideal. Tip for car parking book city hall car park online in advance there are 1,2,and 3 day offers available working out good bit cheaper than just arriving and paying daily rate.We will definitely use the Townhouse accommodation again.
