Clarion Hotel Cork  

The food in kudos bar was amazing

My window looked right down onto an alleyway which was full of homeless people and prostitutes. I asked a member of staff an they told me they were to pretend they knew nothing about it she told me the building across from the holtel was the simon community. I did not sleep for the two nights as the homeless people spent the night shouting and fighting. This was very disapointing as I did not feel safe leaving d hotel in the evening plus a member of staff had told me that some of the chefs had been attacked in the the underground car park

Ideal location close to shopping areas, restaurants. Very relaxing atmosphere throughout hotel. Helpful staff. Bedrooms were in excellent condition. Bexcellent restaurant in the hotel

The only negative is the parking system. Adequate parking underground, however after paying for parking at hotel reception I still had to get out of my car to get car park attendant to validate ticket.

The Kudos bar and asian food was excellent

A business type hotel, modern and located within 10 minutes walking distance of the centre of the city. Excelent staff.

The surroundings of the hotel are not very pleasant.

We were on a 2 week touring holiday of Southern Ireland and the Clarion was well positioned in the town near the main shopping area and restaurants. Our room overlooked the quay and we visited Blarney Castle and took the bus tour of the city during our 2 night stay. The hotel staff were helpful in advising us about the city and I enjoyed watching Leinster beat Northampton in the Heineken Cup final whilst enjoying a pint in the hotel sports bar.

The location was excellent very central

Saturday night was a disaster may have as well slept on the street between disturbances police sirens and revellers in hotel this was not money well spent.Would not advice any friends or relatives to stay on a saturday night due to hen and stag partys.

Location is fantastic with some great pubs and restaurants around it

We were arriving late so I called them to let them know. I had a further call to question where we were from someone else following that. I emailed two addresses to ask for a bottle of prosecco to be put in the room. I couldn't call as I was sharing the car with the person it was a surprise for. One email address didn't work (info@...) and I still haven't had a response. The shower did not work. At all. No water coming through so couldn't shower. On checkout, the lady at the desk didn't know my room rate and asked me did I 'think it was 80 or 100 euro. Finally, we got charged for parking (which is fine) but it wasn't mentioned when we checked in even though they asked for our reg. All in all a shambles.

Friendly staff, conveniance to City Centre, and good price.

Comfortable bed; friendly evening staff; clean room; peaceful;

Was not offered an outside view room when the hotel was by no means full; the booking price of e130 was for 2 people b&b (e100 room and e15 each breakfast) yet my final bill as a single traveller was e120, which to me does not add up; the breakfast wasn't worth 20Euros, the breakfast staff were grumpy.

Convenient location, good and unobtrusive cleaning service, helpful staff, good sport and health suite facilities in the basement of the hotel, good tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Just a couple of minor concerns: 1) I discovered that rooms facing the Atrium can be as noisy as rooms facing the main streets surrounding the hotel, even on the top floors! I used earplugs (because I didn't want to move all my stuff to another room) so it didn't affect me too much but I can see noise being a problem for other guests. 2) Also, my bed mattress had developed a bit of a curve, which is a no-no for 4 star hotels. It might be time for replacing old bed mattresses throughout the hotel or investing in good mattress covers?

Nice, clean hotel. Friendly staff. Great location for city centre. Good value for money.

Great location, on the river and very adjacent to shopping area; very good pool and spa facilities

A non smokers room had the smoke alarm covered with a shower cap to permit smoking undetected - not removed by cleaning staff and room had odour of smoke in it; only two towels were in the room for a triple occupancy.
