Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was missing some essential items like robes, slippers, conditioner, and moisturizer, which affected the pool experience and morning routine. Despite these shortcomings, the room and bed were amazing, spacious, and included a useful fridge. However, the broken curtain and cold breakfast were major disappointments for an anniversary stay.
My stay at this hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. It has a great location, close to the town center and with convenient access to shopping and dining options. The rooms, although spacious, were quite noisy at night due to loud music from a neighboring bar. The cleanliness could have been improved, as I found makeup left in the wardrobe from a previous guest. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms in a convenient location, although the surroundings can be noisy at night. The service is a mix of friendly and unresponsive staff. The dining experience varies in quality. The central location is good but comes with some uncomfortable encounters.
The hotel rooms were to a high standard but extremely warm despite AC. Missing a few amenities. The service, especially from cleaners and bar staff, was exceptional, but reception made a fuss about the booking. The location was central, a short walk to bars and shops but also noted for some issues. The dining experience was extraordinary but not included in the package. Overall, a decent stay with ups and downs.
The hotel was exceptional with wonderful rooms featuring balconies, although a bit pricey. The service was top-notch, friendly, and exceedingly helpful. The location was very convenient for shopping and dining, with a beautiful view of the river. The dining experience was good, but with minor room for improvement. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was fabulous and super comfy. The rooms were nice, very clean, had a lovely bed, and the hotel ambiance was exceptionally warm even with A/C on constantly. The service was excellent, with friendly staff and efficient assistance. The location was fine since I had a meeting in the hotel. Dining was just okay, with some items not meeting expectations. Overall, a lovely experience with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel had a warm and stuffy room setup, lacking privacy with thin walls but decent access. It was a good location for shopping and meetings, with excellent amenities but some dining issues. The service was either exceptional or unhelpful.
The hotel had spacious and luxurious rooms with room service and high cleanliness levels, but the noise from outside disrupted our sleep. The service was a mix of helpful and unresponsive staff members. The location was central and walkable to the main town center streets, but there were issues with crowding. The dining experience was varied, with satisfying meals but with an additional charge for certain items. Overall, a somewhat mixed experience with both positive and negative aspects.
The hotel room was very spacious, clean, and centrally located in the main part of the city. It needed cleaning on the first day, but nothing after that. Although a little dark, the lovely brilliance of the view from the top floor made up for it.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were nice and cozy, perfect for relaxing with friends especially during bad weather, plus I appreciated the pool and sauna facilities. However, I couldn't overlook the fact that I had stayed in a much nicer hotel in Cork for the same price the previous night. Also, the early noise disturbance to our room at 8.15 am was a downside.
I had a great time at the hotel, enjoying the lovely location in close proximity to everything Cork City has to offer. The service was top-notch, and the dining options were generous and varied. However, the room I stayed in was a bit noisy during the two nights of my stay, which was a downside. Overall, a pleasant experience.
The hotel's rooms were lovely but a bit cold, very spacious, clean, and centrally located in the main part of the city. They were also quiet. The service was outstanding, especially considering we were travelling with our 2-month-old baby. The hotel's free shuttle service to the Marquee venue was impeccable. The location was very satisfactory, especially being near Cork's bus depot, with excellent food and friendly, efficient staff. The dining experience, unfortunately, was poor with long waiting times and cold food. However, the facilities were good overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were cozy and the bed and pillows were very comfortable, but it was disappointing that the leisure facility was not working during my stay and the noise from the building nearby disturbed my sleep. The air conditioning helped somewhat, but the noise persisted. The location was excellent being close to the water and just a few minutes walk from Patrick St, but the crowded areas made it less enjoyable at times. The dining experience was alright, with a basic selection and the discount on the bedrooms helped a bit with the overall expenses.
The hotel was comfortable and spacious, suitable for families, with modern and clean rooms. Staff were helpful despite noise disturbances from outside. Some dining issues but the location was wonderful with lovely views.
I had a great stay at the hotel. The rooms were perfect and cool with air conditioning, and the location was convenient, within walking distance of both bus and train stations and the city center. However, the view from my room faced a scuzzy alley that got busy in the evening with Bus Eireann buses. The spacious room made everything easy to use compared to a nicer hotel I stayed at the previous night in Cork for the same price.
