Honestly this was a super disappointing experience, especially considering the expectations given the Radisson brand. The man at check-in was surly and looked like he didn’t want to be there. The rooms were supposed to be together. However we were allocated rooms over the spa but the lift was not working properly and so they had to move my mother to the other wing as she was using sticks and couldn’t make the stairs easily. This meant that we weren’t together. Neither room had aircon and, whilst both hot, ours was stifling. The problem was that the windows opened out to the motorway (just separated by a thin line of trees) so it was far too noisy to relax or sleep. Also there was standing water on the flat roof just outside the window so danger of bugs as well. The door to the room was very stiff and needed a full body shove to open. The state of the hotel overall was a little tired. The carpets were quite dirty both in the room and in the corridor. The in-room cleaning wasn’t particular thorough and the floor of the bathroom was not cleaned during our two night stay. The only saving grace was the staff in the restaurant/bar who where friendly, polite, helpful and went above and beyond, including making a special meal for my mother who has specific dietary requirements. Overall this was a real let down both for the price and the brand - and a marked difference from the Radisson Blu in Dublin which was superb.

Nice Hotel

A very nice hotel. Room was in very good condition. Rooms did not have air conditioning and it seemed like they had the heat on. I called down to ask and they said to just open your window and put a fan on. Did not really care for that response cause I was sweating while laying in bed.

I was very disappointed with my recent stay. The room was not properly cleaned — there were personal items left behind from previous guests, no bottled water provided, and the curtains were in poor condition. The carpet in the hallway was dirty and gave a poor first impression. I reported these issues to reception, and while the leftover items were removed, the curtains were not replaced and no offer was made to move me to another room. Overall, the standards of cleanliness and service were well below what I would expect, and I will be considering alternative accommodation in the future.

A lot done, more to do :)

Thank you so much, we had a lovely stay. However, the rooms were quite warm and therefore uncountable to sleep in. The decoration in the main rooms were very tired but we felt the ensuite bathrooms in both bathrooms were jaded, they needed renovation. They smelled quite strongly not because of the cleaning but the lack of repair in the tiles/shower area. Otherwise, the staff were so friendly especially in the pool area. Thank you.

Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa, Cork Is a fantastic place, welcoming and friendly atmosphere everything is at a very high standard. The hotel offers you rest and relaxation while you’re close enough to explore cork city if you drive there are no parking meters just beautiful clean roadsides. The hotel grounds are as emasculate as the hotel, spa and gymnasium are also available,relaxing sofas everywhere intimate and private at the same time. Definitely recommend to anyone who knows about the Radisson hotels to get a totally brilliant experience ,highly professional customer service by all staff. 💯 great holiday!

If its a sauna you're looking for...

No air conditioning and windows barely open. Hallway and rooms were like a sauna. Staff at reception at check-in was apathetic. He couldn't find our reservation and made us feel like we had done something wrong. No acknowledgement when he finally did. Not quite the "welcome" you'd expect.
