Hotel Isaacs Cork City

The hotel is close to many good restaurants and shopping. The entrance to the hotel is through a side alley with a bustling restaurant and an attractive waterfall feature. The place has a nice ambiance and we spent more time there than we usually do in a hotel.

I think the guest room doors slam too loudly when they close. You can hear doors a floor away. A felt or rubber strip in the door jam is all they need.

I stayed at Isaacs with my teenage daughter in a very smart twin room with comfortable (very comfortable) beds. We loved the location on Cork's bustling MacCurtain Street and went for a burger nearby. The fittings and furnishings of Isaacs are real quality - the building is lovely and the location is excellent. The staff were very kind and helpful, they did some printing for me and everything.

We stayed in August and the room was hot and because the bar was directly below us the room was double glazed so we couldn't open the window. We could hear noise from the bar until quite late and had to rely on a fan to keep cool in the absence of windows.

This hotel is in a really beautiful old building on a grand old street in the middle of Cork City. The rooms are generous and well appointed. The bed was so comfortable I took a picture of the mattress label to see if I could get one for home!

The hotel has a lively bar, so rooms on the bar side are double glazed to make them less noisy but this stops any natural ventilation. I have also stayed in rooms at the other side and these are better but both times I have stayed it was very hot!

The location and the staff were lovely.

Our room was sweltering and directly above the Cask Bar. We asked for an additional fan but it did little to alleviate the stuffy heat. While we understand that older hotels do not have a/c, on very hot days, they need to make a better plan for cooling down rooms. The noise from the bar was very noticeable.
