The hotel is remodeled and is very nice. The location is also very good, close to the university and not far from the city center. The room was extremely hot though, and there is no AC. Unfortunately leaving the windows open would not help either, the room stayed very warm even though outside was cold.

We had a great stay. It would have been good to know that breakfast was not included and that there would be a charge. Otherwise, nice, clean accommodation, terrific staff.

Modern stay in Cork

This was a modern and refurbished hotel. Room and bathroom were spacious. Staff were helpful, and there was a lift. Parking on site was free. It was a little walk to town centre, but easy. Breakfast was good too.

Property was nice. A little away from things to do but not to far. We could still walk. Parking could be a problem. They don’t seem to have enough spots. Twice we left to walk around and another person asked if we were driving so they could have our parking spot.

Great Choice

Room was ready early which was great after driving down from Dublin. Room was spacious and clean with all the amenities I needed (tea/coffee/bottled water/great shower/TV/fridge). I only had the continental breakfast which was good value and the cooked dishes coming out to other guests looked really good too. Hotel is well located with the city centre just a short walk away and the free parking in their own car park was ideal.

Room refurbishments are very good but still in-hand so the hotel was noisy during our time. And this area of cork can get pretty noisy too but overall we had a very good stay.

The staff were so very friendly, cheerful and helpful. My room was beautifully renovated, everything fresh and relaxing. The bathroom was perfect and absolutely clean. The hotel's location was perfect for visits with old friends and for an event at the University.
