we enjoyed our stay at the hotel from the time we checked in till our checkout. We had a few meals there and the food was lovely.

Brendan Ireland

The room was very spacious and the bed super comfortable. Staff were very helpful and courteous. The hotel is beautiful. The location is okay. It’s not in the main area of Cork centrum so be prepared to hike up and down the hill or take a taxi. But that is really not a game changer. Would recommend if you are staying in Cork.
