    I couldn't stay longer but I'll be back.

    The staff. They were very friendly and helpful without any air of pretension for such a high class hotel. Also, the business suite was very well equipped and connectivity was excellent.

    There was quite a draught from the window in our room so it stayed cold all night. Lovely stay other than that and all the staff were very helpful!

    Great experience in Cork
    • Leisure trip

    A bit far from the city centre, so we used a taxi to come to/from the hotel. One day when we came for breakfast we were informed that there is a buffet + à la carte menu for breakfast. So we assumed this would be our option on the next day too. In our view, breakfast is good, but a buffet itself is not spectacular for a hotel of this level (but it's nice together with the à la carte menu). However, when we came to the breakfast on the second day, turned out that the menu is available only sometimes, with no specific schedule/days. Would prefer if guests are informed about this "scheme" from the very beginning so people don't have wrong expectations. The bathroom has no hooks for a towel/robe, which was a bit uncomfortable.

    Great staff and atmosphere. The hotel was very nicely decorated for Christmas! The nature around the hotel is amazing. We were pleasantly surprised with the mulled wine in the hotel as well. The room was clean and the bathroom also looked very new. Comfortable beds and pillows. The outdoor pool was a bit busy sometimes, but it was a great bonus overall!

    The only complaint was the television was very slow to connect to tv channels and also the chromecast wouldn't connect initially. However it worked once we tried it again a while later, maybe there was connection problems when we first tried. Other than that, we loved our stay!

    The room was very large, with large bathroom with both a bath and a shower. TV was mounted to the wall opposite the bed. Extremely comfortable and air con made the room a very pleasant stay. Food was absolutely delicious, we had afternoon tea and dinner in the evening.

    Location is tricky if you want to be in the city,but easily managed with booking a taxi. Not much options for breakfast, we arrived around 930-10am and the dessert/fruits area wasn't refilled.

    It was a very pleasant experience for both of us, the staffs were lovely, had all information ready for us and easy check in. They also have complimentary parking which made it convenient for us who have a car driving in. The room was spacious, comfortable and lovely view overlooking River Lee, a delight to watch the sunrise from the room.

    Although when in a hotel you expect to pay dearer than the norm but the bar food and drink is way overpriced! €20 for a burger and €7.50 a pint is shocking. The hotels only downfall other than that its a fantastic hotel

    Lovely hotel. staff very friendly and spotless clean.

    I completely agree with having no fridges in the room, as it is a massive waste of energy, but it would have been great to have access to an ice machine somewhere in the hotel. If you're intending to use the spa you really need to book a lot in advance: we tried to book a week before our stay, and there was no availability. The staff at the spa said they would let us know if there were any cancellations though, which was thoughtful. It would be great to be able to buy an hour pass for the thermal suite, as currently these facilities are only available if you've got a spa booking.

    The hotel staff were really friendly and helpful, and the rooms (particularly the bathrooms) were a generous size with comfortable beds, and very clean. The residents' bar also stays open relatively late. We were able to use the pool and health club facilities after we checked out too, which was great.

    Pricey like most hotels in Ireland nowadays. Waited for over 1 hour for our main course in the bar, but to be fair they did substantially discount our bill as an apology

    Really nice hotel , lovely big comfy room and nice bathroom with a powerful shower, the gym was fine but busy with members.The breakfast was really nice and the staff friendly . Good car park.

    I can't really pick anything to say that I didn't enjoy. It was amazing all round.

    First off I'd like state that I've stayed at the Kingsley a dozen times or more over the past year and everytime I go I am never dissapointed. It is and always will be my favourite hotel to stay at in Cork. The Staff have always been exceptional. Food is amazing. Rooms are phenomenal. View is a plus. Facilities are amazing. I will always come back to the Kingsley.

    I enjoyed my stay I thought food was a little pricey but apart from that everything was great. From the day staff to the night time staff anyone I encountered were really helpful and nice especially as me and my wife had been caught in the midleton floods.when we got back to the hotel.after I booked an extra night and they helped me arrange the room so I didn't have to go to another room. That night we enjoyed the Crack with the staff who listened about the floods that happened and helped us see the funny side . While it was not a funny situation you sometimes just have to laugh at life.
