Everything was central to the Ashley Hotel where I stayed. I enjoyed my stay and found a nice public house with Irish music of a very high standard and not overcrowded. Restaurants and shops all very efficient friendly and offered good service were all close by. English market was great. I have been in cork on a number of occasions and like the city. I did notice more on this visit that after shops close in the evening a large number of homeless males in groups of two sitting and begging in doorways also had sleeping bags and cardboard. Most were non nationals and if I was a lone female I would be reluctant to go out on streets. No real garda presence visible on streets Bishop Casey park is a beautiful area in the city center but loose dogs (2) and a cat were roaming there. Owner looked homeless and dog were not muzzled. I did notice a park worker in hi-vis jacket in the park but left dogs alone. Cork reflects everything cultural about Ireland in one city. Always a friendly place to visit and I will be back.

The hotel and the room the gardens and the layout of the hotel with walk ways and the golf course. A place for couples to be together and still be able to travel to cork for shopping if they want to.

I was on a social visit to cork just to catch up with a few friends while on holidays from Australia, good night life and a good shopping city. If you are staying in Cork do NOT BOOK THE STAY CORK APPARTMENTS, as they will find any excuse to keep your deposit, this makes the cost of accomodation there twice as expensive as staying in a hotel.

Gorgeous city with great eateries and shopping. It's a small city but has everything you need for a good girls weekend. We stayed at the Clarion Hotel and then The Imperial. We had a hire car and the Clarion trumped the Imperial for that reason as it had an underground car park where the car park for the Imperial is a ten minute walk away and not a walk I would want to do on my own at night. Both hotels are lovely, the Clarion is on the river and a modern style hotel whereas the Imperial is more Art Deco. Looks wise the Imperial trumps it but both are lovely hotels with great staff and facilities.

Cork is a fantastic place with lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants. It is also a great base for many day trips to visit places nearby such as Cobh or Kinsale. If you are into cocktail bars I cannot recommend the Cask cocktail bar highly enough. They have a very interesting menu that changes seasonally.

Cork is wonderful to get around, easy walking (except for Shandon, which is steep). There is more shopping, entertainment and restaurants than you can imagine. People are pretty friendly. Easy access to a couple of local areas such as Kinsale (which I visited) and Cobh. However the bus station has no information, timetables or guides and no one to ask. Who knew my bus to Kinsale didn't leave from the Bus Station? Thankfully I was able to find what I needed from the Tourism Ireland shop on St Patrick's Street. Loved the English Market and surrounding shops. A must dine at The Glass Ceiling. One of the best I have found in Ireland. I'll be back to Cork again.
