Location is great if you're here for shopping or an event in downtown, the hotel has kids camp from 5-9 pm which was unique. Breakfast was great. Only issue was that the rooms in the 1st for are below ground for (basement), and was noisy in the morning!

Great location in the middle of Cork. Room was lovely (although the view was just of an internal courtyard... Not that that mattered). Decent size room, comfy bed. Reception staff very helpful. Nice and quiet. Excellent breakfast! Restaurant nice too. Parking available at a good discounted rate in the nearby City Hall multistory. You can park outside for 15mins to drop bags though. Would stay again for sure!

It's the little things that make a stay, this place lacked those. No conditioner or shampoo. First Hotel in years over 3 continents that haven't supplied these basic items. We paid for 2 breakfasts knowing we had to leave early on the second day. No offer of a 'to go' breakfast or remove the one breakfast charge. Most places will do this little thing. So, average.

The room was very nice, and the area had a lot of shops and restaurants. It was hard to figure out where to park, but the hotel does have a good deal with a parking garage (we had to move our car over there after check in).
