Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located about 10 minutes from Cork city, making it easy to find and popular with locals for events. The room was spotless and comfortable, providing a lovely stay. However, some areas of the hotel felt dated and needed attention. The dining experience was great with a variety of options available, though there were some inconsistencies in taste with specific dishes.
The hotel had some ups and downs during my stay. The rooms were a mixed bag with a lovely size and quiet setting but were uncomfortably hot, making sleep challenging. The service was top-notch, with welcoming and caring staff, though there was a minor issue corrected quickly. The location was convenient but lacking a bit of atmosphere and was quite a distance from Cork's city center. The dining experience was enjoyable with some variety but had its letdowns like limited breakfast options. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was fantastic & comfortable with USB connections and plugs close to the beds, and the room was well-furnished and comfy, though there was a wait at lunchtime. The service was exceptional with professional and courteous staff, creating a nice and homely environment. The location was great, offering nearby river walks and lovely relaxing vibes, while the dining experience was excellent, with delicious dishes and a pleasant service. Facilities were top-notch overall.
The hotel rooms were extremely comfortable, newly decorated, and featured a very large flat-screen TV. However, the service at reception upon departure was inappropriate and made me feel uncomfortable.
The hotel had lovely rooms, although a bit dated, and was not soundproof. Despite that, I would definitely stay again and recommend it to everyone. The service was excellent, with helpful staff, but the dining experience was a letdown due to rude behavior. The location was great, being quiet yet close to the coast and city center. However, there is room for improvement in certain areas.
