This is excellent hotel enhanced tremendously by the most friendly and attentive staff. The hotel property is very spacious and kept very clean. The food served in the restaurants is very good too. Free access to the pool, sauna and steam room is an added bonus. In short, one doesn’t have to leave the hotel, everything is taken care of in the most luxurious surroundings. Don’t miss this gem of the hotel if you are in Cork.

On arrival at the hotel we had a good experience at reception and were given the keys to the room we had requested. We had stayed in the same room last year. Things took a turn for the worse when we entered the room. We had requested a fridge and it was there but, on opening it, it was filthy inside. Near the fridge there were mugs for tea/coffee…..one was badly chipped.But, worst of all,the television was a disgrace….the picture was all broken and unwatchable and the sound was out of synch when any image was visible.When you stay in an hotel, your room is more than a bedroom, it’s also your living room especially if you are staying for several nights. We were staying for six nights. We reported the problem on the following morning and an engineer was promised. He gave us a different remote, but the problem with the TV was the same. Again we repeated our problem and a second engineer came but he couldn’t fix it either and, so, we had no working television for our entire six night stay.What was even worse was that we had the same problem with the television exactly one year previously.And, so, this problem had been left unfixed for at least a whole year. That is atrocious behaviour for any hotel, not to mention a four star plus hotel like the Kingsley. On our first morning I went to reception to ask if they had a daily newspaper. No was the response and, no, they couldn’t provide one for me on the following days. I have plenty more to say but you won’t allow me!!

The property grounds are outstanding, great for a walk or a bike ride along the Lee River. The staff are wonderful the front desk always ready to help guests. Rooms are very clean. Some minor issues would be a dripping faucet from a bathroom sink and paint chips in lift corridor of hotel around the door frame. Restaurant food is incredible. I ordered my special favourite Angus Beef Rib with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots and gravy. This dish is a Kingsley classic that should stay the test of time. All in al I truly enjoyed my stay at the Kingsley. I look forward to next time.
