It is a very good place to stay you are in walking distance of things but sometimes you need a taxi and the front desk will get it for you unless they forget to call them like they did to me and I missed my tour and I didn’t get anything back so I lost a lot of money

Good location, clean, modern, has a car park, which is rare in Cork City Center. The breakfast (included in my stay) was good only thing I wish it had was a gym and/or leisure center.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Great amenities and staff. Very good Continental breakfast arrangement and easy walking around Cork city center. The room felt a little too warm, even with the heat turned off, so we left the window open, but that meant noise from the busy night life on the street below. Not too bad, but a heads up to others - there's a fan in the closet!

Great Place to Stay

Top-class, affordable guest house that is on par with any 4* hotel in terms of room quality, comfort, service and amenities. Just 3 minutes walk to the university and 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Highly recommended :-)
