    really enjoyed our family stay, the staff were very good. Breakfast was good. Bar was good too

    • Executive King Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    price for the room Car park was full to the brim and still letting cars in when we arrived - GAA match was clashing on the day. Would be good to hold some spaces for hotel guests / close the carpark when it was full and let hotel guests know of alternatives

    everything was good to very good. The rooms were advertised as executive king rooms and were priced for same. When we stayed - the rooms would be considered standard room - good standard, but didnt see what drove them to be classified as king executive rooms and then charge on room rate was high >350€ through 3rd party booking site.

    We had a family night away in Cork city, this hotel hits all the right notes for a family stay. Staff were friendly, helpful, and presented as staff that enjoyed their work and were respected and treated well by management. Staff were kind and friendly with our children. Lovely rooms, simple, smart, and minimalist decor throughout, great breakfast. Great location in a residential area only minutes walk from city centre. We'll be back....

    We didn’t visit the pool or had food in there, so I can’t comment on those, but the room felt a bit small for 3 people, hallways permanently smelled of food and the lift took very long.

    Close to city centre. Nice reception area.

    Parking was a nightmare, but the hotel was wonderful at letting me know ahead of time.

    The facilities were well kept and clean. We had a view of the cathedral from our room which was lovely!

    Minimum toiletries in the bathroom, couldn't open the shampoo; pool was a bit cramped; jacuzzi was out of order; I was expecting a menu for the breakfast or options for omelette at least... It was very much a self service. Overall, it was a bit overpriced for what we've got. No smart TV in the room either. I stayed in a more luxurious places for less money. I expected more... I also didn't expect to pay extra for parking.

    Location is good, room was clean..

    We had dinner and breakfast and we didn't like the food. Chips for dinner weren't cooked properly and the chicken wasn't nice. Some things in the buffer for breakfast weren't great.

    The food was okay but not special and we thought there could maybe be a sign in the lift about not leaning against the doors as they open both sides and there are tiles on one side. We know someone who got a severe head injury like that so that's probably why we noticed it particularly.

    Our room was fantastic. Lovely and spacious with thoughtful extras like decaf coffee sachets and toiletries. The view from the window was fabulous. The staff were really helpful and friendly and we also loved the pool. I was with my parents who are not as quick as they used to be and the staff were very understanding about us being a bit late checking out. The location was great and luckily we were able to park at the hotel. We'd definitely go back.
