Amazing stay in this modern well cared hotel. Will definitely stay in this hotel when back in Cork ☘️👍

Beautiful hotel, clean and comfortable with nice food and good service. Unfortunately you’ve to pay for parking which I feel should be included in your stay. Some notice about the pool closed to kids from 6pm would be beneficial also. Perhaps to be included in the booking information. The pool itself is very nice and clean.
Overall though we love this hotel and will absolutely return.

Very helpful and knowledgable staff throughout the hotel. The resteraunt was first class, try the duck and the bacon.

The hotel location is excellent, only a few minutes walk to the English Market, and there is underground parking (extra charge). As its a few minutes walk away from bars and restaurants, the hotel is quiet at night.
The staff are lovely. Our room was comfortable and spotless, however some small details like charging points beside the bed would have improved the stay - we had to use the plug at the desk. The TV has chromecast so you can stream your own entertainment. One thing I would have liked is the ability to turn the air off, the temperature in the room was perfect but the air was a little loud when we were going to sleep - it didn't hinder us from sleeping, but I would have preferred the ability to turn it down/off.

I liked the hotel very much. good friendly personal always in for a nice conversation. The food is good could be a bit more variation and more bar snacks. The rooms are a bit over dated no usb chargers not enough sockets and over dated furniture in the room. Bathroom is nice I had a shower and bath separated and was very clean. Overall good Hotel nice swimming pool, sauna and jacuzzi.

We had a very leaky shower that required us to put down 2 bath mats to keep the floor from getting soaked when we showered.
House keeping was great!
We requested robes and slipper for use to go to the pool and after an hour called to see if they were bringing them and the said they would send someon up with them. After another half hour we just went to the pool and changed there as we wasted time waiting.

The hotel had brown/yellow water coming out of the tap and showers. After wasting two hours of our time, they were not able to find a room that had clean water. We had to leave the hotel in the middle of the night. Horrible experience!

The staff is amazing. The hotel parking is adjacent with elevator to underground garage. Do not get the parking ticket stamped and wait to exit. It expires in 30 minutes.
Very quiet and convenient with a 15 minute walk to English market and other Cork highlights. UCC is 2 minute walk.
