Gabriel House Guesthouse
Summerhill North, St. Lukes, T23 X963 Cork, Ireland – Great location - show map
Kathleen. She was incredibly friendly and helpful. I would stay here again, JUST to be greeted by Kathleen every morning. We did not partake in the breakfast, so we cannot speak on that. The location is pretty good. Not a long walk from the city center. Parking at the hotel is... interesting.
