The difference between the picture and the real thing, our car got blocked and no one there to help. Price extremely high for the service provided. The room was more or less ok, but everything else was dirty and very messy.

What a great place to spend a couple of days. Great people, great food, and beautiful house.

Beautiful property adjacent to university of cork and on the river lee. Location was supers and amenities were fantastic. Karen was the most amazing host we met met on our trip added a great feeling to our time in cork.

Preis-Leistung stimmt überhaupt nicht.

Die Lage war okay

Sehr kleines Zimmer mit noch kleinerem, alten Bad. Für zwei Personen mit zwei Koffern war das Zweibett-Zimmer nicht geeignet.

Great stay at the Shandon Bells Guest House

It was very clean and a good location for Cork city centre

It would have been better to have live stream tv rather than just Netflix, itvx etc

in general my stay was okay and I will book here if I am travelling alone and not on luxury

location of the guest house is superb for accessing various places around Cork and it's not also far away from Cork Airport

the rooms can be very noisy because people keep moving all the time and also very late at night and you can hear every squeak and people upstairs or in the corridors when you are supposed to be sleeping

Colazione sul ruscello, soggiorno piacevole.

Il personale è molto cordiale e disponibile, e parla un po' di italiano, la colazione è buona, la posizione un po' decentrata ma comunque vicina alle attrazioni principali, doccia super.

La pulizia non è al top, molte scale da fare con le valigie, parcheggio non sempre disponibilie in loco.

A friendly atmosphere

There were many guests so it took a while for our breakfast order to be made. But it was very good and tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. It is an easy walk into the center of town.

Kind staff, phenomenal shower pressure, delicious breakfast/c, comfy beds - all the things you need!

Staff were lovely and accommodating at breakfast. Thoughtful, kind, and so welcoming! Newly refinished bathroom was a great use of space with insanely good water pressure. Beds were super comfy.

We had the attic room, so the slanted ceiling was a little awkward for my parter, but that's no fault of the hosts here. It was a lovely lay out/great use of space!

overall our 4 night stay was excellent and I’d certainly stay at this lovely, welcoming guest house again.

Shannon Bells Guest House is a gem of a place to stay if visiting Cork. Its located overlooking the river and the breakfast room has a lovely seating area that allows you to enjoy this. the food is top notch and the hosts are incredibly welcoming and friendly. cleanliness is of a very high standard and walking into the centre of cork is easy. We would most certainly stay again.

The rooms are not sound proofed. so you will hear other guests at all hours.

A bit overpriced but a good location.

Within walking distance of the downtown.

The room/building is not well maintained. They need some fix ups.

Over priced. Poor quality of the guest house, not anything like pictures shown on website, unsafe electrics, television not working, smell of stale cooking throughout the premises. Item's (ironing board etc.) in fire exits. Would not recommend. Reception not manned,

The facilities were clean, the bathroom renovated. The staff were very friendly. The breakfast was included with our reservation. The guest house was located next to the campus of Cork Univeristy, which is so beautiful to do a short walk inside. The dining room had a view to the river, which was a very nice surprise.

Our room was right next to the entrance, next to the parking and the street. Personally, i would have prefered a different room. Also, I would like the hotel rooms to be more soundproof. Plus two things, but to be honest, the hotel is not to be blamed about them. First, the location was a bit difficult for us to get with the car, even with google maps. The city of cork is chaotic in terms of driving, and coming from kinsale we had to maneuver a lot. Nevertheless, the hotel is about 15 minutes on foot from the city centre. And lastly, our neighboring room, the one across our door had two elderly men, who were quite vocal early in the morning and the rooms are not so soundproof. So we could hear clearly loud talking at 6.00am. (While everyone is in their respective rooms) I am hoping, every logical and sensible person would not do that, so the blame is on them.

One day in Cork

The room was large and new. The bathroom had a big shower. It is only 15 min away from the city center on foot. The host was kind.

The bed was small and the room was a bit expensive

Exceptional

The house itself is so beautiful and located right along a small river. It was so relaxing to sleep with the window open listening to the water. It’s in a quiet neighborhood but walking distance to a busier area of town with some bars and restaurants. The staff was very kind and accommodating and the breakfast was delicious!

The staff are very nice and helpful. The beds are confortable and location is perfect. Breakfast is very good.

We could hear people walking in the corridor and talking from the other bedrooms when we were in our room.
