Gabriel House Guesthouse  

excellent property more hotel than b/b, friendly professional staff, lovely breakfast,amble on site parking though withing walking distance of centre great value for money.

Nice and clean room, especially the bathroom was new and clean. Breakfast ok, but served only till 10.30 (even on Sunday!)

The guset house is located on a hill so it's not very comfortable to get there, also the car park is quite steep. The area around the guest house is a bit scary especially during the night time, on my way back to guest house I was a bit afraid.

A great place to stay, honest and without frills or trying to be something it isn't. Very pleasant staff indeed. Excellent location close to city centre, and first class breakfast and unlimited team and home-made biscuits. Our first visit, but there will be more in the future, and we have recommended the hotel to others. And no, we aren't being paid to say this!

The staff were very helpful on arrival we were given information on restaurants and bars, we availed of free coffee and tea at anytime. Staff were relaxed about check out time, more of a hotel then guesthouse.

Our room was under the breakfast room quiet noisy in the morning time.

Staff were very nice and friendly. Breakfast was quite tasty. Location is great - 10min walk to city centre but nice quiet area, 3mins from train station.

It was a lovely comfortable place to stay and in a great setting, near to the train station and near to the centre of the city and yet a few minutes walk away from the hustle and bustle. The girls working there were all extremely helpful and welcoming. The rooms were clean with very nice bathrooms and a particularly nice shower. The guesthouse is on a hill so you have a lovely view of the city. There was a water fountain and a drinks machine in the lobby which is very handy. I thought it was good value for money as it has the comfort of a hotel with a B & B feel in that it is very personal and friendly. The girl at reception (didn't get her name) was very helpful to us as I was running the Cork marathon and could come back after the race and collect my bags and change in our old unchanged room, I appreciate that very much!!

The only thing I would fault is that the room walls are very thin and you can hear everything, I had come down to run a marathon and wanted a quiet night but didnt get it due to occupants noise next door, it wasnt that they were overly noisy but that walls were too thin. I dont think I would have minded too much if I hadnt been anxious to sleep because there wasnt a sound otherwise. My two other companions didnt sleep either because of noise next door, (snoring in one and hanky panky in the other!!) and we had to be up at six, nevertheless we had a great time, I had a great race so we enjoyed it and had a good laugh about it afterwards!!

The friendliness of the Staff especiall Valerie. Very relaxed easy going atmosphere and exceedingly helpful.

Nothing I didn't like and I've stayed there a number of times over the past few months

hospitality and good food

the room was not very appealing, the decor needed updating and the shower re-grouting

Location, friendly staff comfy beds

The staff there were very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were fantastic and left the us feeing full and indulged. They were helpful with directions, places to eat and even helped us secure the hubcap on our rental car when it was knocked off. I would highly recommend Gabriel House!

We thought the Housekeep was very helpful, the guesthouse was lovely

Staff were very friendly. It was an easy walk down to Cork City. Not so easy back up. Great view of harbour. Comfortable clean room.
