    We liked everything about our stay.

    The breakfast was bountiful so we asked smaller portions. Any request we made was cheerfully fulfilled promptly. The staff at Gabriel House are lovely.

    We had such a pleasant stay. The staff were so welcoming and really engaged with our children. I loved that they made such an effort to use all of our names. Breakfast was excellent, plenty of options for all our dietary requirements. The rooms were clean and comfortable and the gardens were gorgeous. We particularly enjoyed our glass of wine in the garden room and the children loved playing with the dogs. We'll definitely stay again.

    If you have heavy luggage, you'll have to climb a lot of stairs/hills to get to the property. There is no elevator as well if you would need one (for luggage or accessibility).

    The staff was great, and the breakfast was excellent. A great value for the price, and conveniently located near the Cork Kent train station. The outdoor garden area (and dogs!) were an added bonus. The staff kindly let us store our bags until our shuttle later in the day which was so appreciated.

    Nothing to add here ☺️

    Everything, from the lovely check in lady who went above and beyond for me on a few occasions. I stayed for 2 nights, bed was amazing, room beauitful, the breakfast , I can safely say it would blow some 5 star establishments out of the water, it was amazing. Very central to walk to the city, just cannot say enough good things about this guest house

    The location is a bit outside, but the neighbourhood was safe enough to walk. Nothing they can change :). Besides that, we really enjoyed having shared rooms in another guest house, the space in the lobby is really limited. Maybe having a lounge corner in the dining room would be a good use.

    Best breakfast in a hotel I ever had in my life. The chef is a genius! We had three different dishes and everything was really outstanding good. Second great experience: the staff! They made us feel almost home, helped with all our questions. For a day trip we got lunch bags prepared. The beds were very comfy, big enough and the room reasonably sized and well equipped. Nice view as a bonus!

    Soundproofing not perfect - probably reflects the age of the building. Not a problem unless you are a very light sleeper. Scrambled eggs were a little overdone for my taste, suspect this was a one off as rest of breakfasts excellent.

    Comfortable room with good views. Huge bed (as we had asked for the two singles together). Good quality bed linen. Good shower. Fridge and kettle in room. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast choices with hot food cooked to order. Great coffee machine. Very close to train station and 10-15 min walk from most attractions. The garden is being redeveloped - nearly finished- with a sauna, and a day sitting room as well as a terrace. (Walk around and visit the chickens, ducks and canaries etc ). Would definitely stay here again.

    When I arrived on a Thursday afternoon I was informed that there was a power outage affecting the entire block, so there was no electricity or running water in the room at the time. This was, of course, NOT the hotel's fault, and the services had been restored by the time I returned a few hours later.

    My wife and I stayed here before and loved it! I returned this time by myself for a work-related visit. The nice ladies at reception apparently remembered me from before. The room was clean and comfortable, and breakfast the following morning was delicious! Also, the hotel is located on the side of a steep hill, so the views out the window were spectacular! It has its own car park with room for 10-12 cars, which is good, because street parking in that neighborhood is limited.

    A wonderful stay at Gabriel house with very comfortable room and an AMAZING breakfast. The staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful when I lost my bag, going above to make sure I was returned with it - would recommend it to anyone looking for a place in Cork. Being only a 15 minute walk from the town centre was an added bonus!
