I stayed at this hotel for just over a week. The room was cozy and clean, but a little small. The complimentary spa and pool are very nice. Some of the hotel equipment needs updating - the elevator is very small and slow, the TV in my room was out of this millenium. The staff was friendly and I liked... More

We only stayed one night and it was the perfect location for the city centre. Room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast, the usual self service, plenty of everything. Staff friendly. Nice pool. Great value for what we paid.

A short walk from the bus or train station and downtown Cork, this Cork hotel has small rooms but a great bar and restaurant. The restaurant is table d'hote only (25 euros). Other meals can be gotten at the bar. Breakfast not included in room price and is rather pricey. Guests have access to a health club on site with... More

Wonderful hotel, great, friendly service, fitness, good sanitation and well located for train, bus and the center of town. But it's the nostalgic atmosphere, the smell (takes the stairs down once!), the breakfast view across the Lee and the '30s/'40s movie set character that make this hotel so endearing! Cross the street to the Fish Wife for (take-away) fish&chips
