    Parking was hard to locate around the hotel. Hotel car park is very small so we used the other car park, we found that car park hard to locate at first as there was a lot of traffic when we arrived but it’s actually just behind the hotel.

    Location was fantastic, very close to Live at the Marquee only walking distance away. Staff were very friendly and accommodating to us. Breakfast was average and the rooms had everything you would need.

    Only slight grumble was that basic consumables such as tea, coffee, milk etc weren’t replenished each day (unless full room refresh requested) without having to specifically ask for them. Also cups and tumblers weren’t replaced with clean items unless we asked. Poor given the room price charged.

    There isn't anything to gripe about. It was good comfortable stay. Good value for money in a great location!

    A great location just on the North side of city centre over looking the River Lee and Port of Cork. It's in walking distance of most sites in Cork City, the buss & train station as well. The timing of our stay worked out so that we can see the Cork Marathon and the Dragon Boat races from our room!

    The price (242e for a single Saturday night, without breakfast I might add) was a bit steep for the room type. You can go for an entire week to some Eastern European countries for that kind of money.

    Have stayed at this particular hotel before. Only a short 10-15min walk to Cork Kent Station and into the city centre, so it's fairly well located. Did not have any food, so can't speak about that. Double room was a good size, one double bed and one single bed. Bed was comfy indeed. Standard facilities with kettle, iron, etc. Bathroom features bathtub & shower. I'd recommend overall, but they might want to review their pricing strategy or at least include breakfast as standard.

    The bed in the room was hard very uncomfortable. The rooms are in no way sound proof - our room was right across from lift on 3rd floor and across from the vending machine - quite loud until after 2am. The road noise was also extremely loud with window closed. After 2am it quietened.

    The staff were all so friendly polite upbeat and helpful. The hotel was spotless clean and the breakfast was excellent. Huge range of choices food in hot buffet was fresh and hot.

    Very disappointing experience.

    Had been requested to Check-in on line. Delighted, as I had a very short turn-around before my first engagement. The system would not recognise my Booking details so it was not possible. I contacted the Headquarters and was assured that they would have a note left with my Booking at Reception to ensure a swift Check-in. No one at Reception was aware of the "note" and I spent almost 15 minutes at Reception, arising from which I was late for my first engagement. I stayed here some years previous with the earlier owners. I noted that it was only the Name of the Hotel that changed.

    Location and very good breakfast.

    This property has the single most stupid thing I’ve ever encountered. The door stop in the bathrooms (I’ve been in multiple rooms) is placed so one will stub and possibly break a toe when using the toilet.

    The staff was the kindest most helpful people I’ve ever met.

    Very noisy junction for traffic, so although we prefer to sleep with some ventilation from an open window, it was really deafening as traffic decelerated and accelerated at a multi-lane junction right outside our corner bedroom. On both mornings we were there, international guests were making very loud mobile calls in breakfast room. This seemed incredibly rude and inconsiderate to everyone else - no consideration for other people needing time to 'come to' slowly in the morning, or of using a headset so we didn't have to hear the other party coming through on loudspeaker, and just massively dominating a public space. I would have appreciated some notices asking guests to move aside to an adjacent lounge/bar just to make a show of respecting our audio space...THis wouldn't have even necessitated moving 'out' to another room, as bar area was not through a door, or in another room, but would have been a moving to side, away from in the midst of all of us trying to talk quietly over our cornflakes! My bedding was incredibly heavy! I am no flyweight myself, but I could hardly move under my quilt. I did ask at reception if they had a summer-weight quilt. They didn't. So the second night I replaced the duvet with a towel and slept much better!

    Location for having a little wander round city was great, but mostly we were being collected by family and taken out of city. Handy for bus station link to airport. Lovely view over river from room, and also the nest of a crow in a tree outside our window! We arrived late, and were able to get food well after 10pm in the bar. Really great friendly, helpful service with a smile. Breakfast: DIetary needs - item I needed for breakfast had run out, but was kindly fetched from kitchen. Competent friendly staff

    I would have liked a mini-bar fridge in the room.

    Nicely refurbished, cosy rooms and a good kitchen/bar downstairs. Excellently placed location, though there are still some less-than-savoury characters who frequent the backstreets. Lovely staff. Fast lifts!
