Very pretty property. A little old but it feels like those luxury old places and they've kept it well. They have a restaurant on site and are 15min walking from downtown. They also have good parking space.

Alexa, Brazil

Loved the layout of the room. The shower was great. Bed was comfortable. Coffee was good. The desk staff lady told us some great tips.

Vicki, United States of America

Spacious and clean room, hotel was in a good location and our room had nice views over the city

Joanne, United Kingdom

This place was awesome! Don from the bar was a real treat and helped make the experience. The location was a 15 min walk into town, uphill walk back, but not bad. The hotel was very nice and had the necessities. Restaurant was great and Irish breakfast was a good spread. Look no further, stay here.

Ashley, United States of America

Comfortable and clean hotel with friendly staff. Was attending an event there so it was handy for the overnight stay

Susan, Ireland

The girls at checkin were friendly, wonderful and extremely helpful with where to see music and have dinner. The room was quiet all night and morning. We never heard anyone ever and got a great nights sleep. The hotel is old with tons of character and charm. It had a wonderful feel. a short walk downhill to town , take a taxi back up! get the continental breakfast only, nice choices . nice bar and patio. free Parking.

Terri, United States of America

Room was large. Beds super comfortable. Staff was great. Highly recommend eating in the restaurant. We had 4 meals there and each one was delicious.

Dwayne, United States of America

Staff. Beautiful building. Height in bedrooms and halls. Plenty space in rooms. Plenty towels and good linen. Good mirrors and areas to get ready. Bar open until 3am. Late check out at 1pm :)

They literally put me in a room across the hall from the wedding 'disco' (room 101). Almost zero parking (forget it when there’s a wedding on) Had to blue disabled badge my car on double yellow lines on a steep hill They don’t tell you when there’s a wedding on so you can’t make an informed decision. and stay elsewhere. Would not stay there again. Reception lady gets 2/10.

Drilling at the property at 8am and housekeeping staff conversing by shouting down the hall to each other outside our room ruined our chance of a lie in. Disappointing to say the least.
Location and comfort of the property are very good. Free car parking is also a great bonus.

“An ‘okay stay’ in this city hotel. ”

A lady known as Gill who greeted me at reception was extremely rude and unwelcoming. I walked in excited to explore Cork and stay in in this lovely hotel and as I checked in I was disappointing with her unpleasant mannerisms. She was not one bit friendly. The room was also not presented very well. The walls were grubby with marks and a white clay type material and there were some stains on the doors. It could do with a good retouch or paint.
The property is in a beautiful location overlooking Cork city. The room was big and the bed was comfortable. A lovely friendly bar man working in the Mc gettigans Bar made our stay very nice. He was super friendly and offered us a drink after hours as we came in from a night exploring the Irish pubs. He sorted us out with bottles of water as we headed off the bed.! (Didn’t catch his name however).
