to get started.

The staff was incredible. I arrived late, was accommodated upon arrival. I wanted to check out later, they were willing to work with me— I even didn’t want to carry my bags around once I checked out and they offered to hold them at the reception desk for me! Breakfast exceeded my expectations. They give you a little menu to choose from PLUS there’s a little buffet bar of meats, cheeses, pastries, juices, and jams. It was perfect and included in the cost already. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved that the room key had to be inserted to use the lights— environmental friendly!

The staff were amazing, so welcoming! Everyone who worked there seemed happy to be there and it really showed. Breakfast was great, so much more than the usual standard offering. Will definitely come back next time I'm in Cork!

Chelsea

Everything was SPLENDID! From the fabulous staff, the wonderful location overlooking the city center and the farm animals found in the back that made it truly farm to table. I made a cat on the premises who was super friendly I named Siobhan. She was so much fun watching play away as I drank a glass of vino on the patio. The Beds and pillows were heaven. And the breakfast was to die for! Come hungry! Also , I'd like to give a shout out to Kathleen. She made my time there extra special with her TLC.

Kathleen at the desk (also in the dining room!) was wonderful during the reception process, and offered fantastic suggestions for food and music in the nearby neighborhood. Kathleen truly made our stay in Cork more enjoyable, and we would definitely return to this property again based on the staff alone. Guests will be happy to find a beautiful Victorian era guest home with comfortable, clean, and well stocked rooms, friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating staff, and a satisfying and delicious Irish breakfast. Location is great, too, with a short walk to restaurants, music, the English Market, shopping, and train station.. ☘️💚

The property was in a beautiful house that has been restored. The bathroom looked newly remodeled and the shower was nice. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We stayed in a family room that had a good amount of space for our party of 3.

My shower was stuck on a specific temperature so it was a tad too warm for me... the location is also on a steep incline and I’m not a fan of hills. Both no big deals whatsoever, this place was well worth it.

Nothing - I was very happy with everything. No problems at all.
The breakfast was delicious, and there was plenty to choose from, and generous portions. They had every kind of breakfast, a full Irish, a vegetarian option, a Continental breakfast, cold meats and cheese, fruit compote, prunes, lovely creamy yogurt, different cereals, porridge, brown and white toast, tea or coffee, different fruit juices, and the service was great. There was buffet service for the cold items, and waitress service for the hot items. My breakfasts really set me up for the day.

The property is only a short walk from the CBD but it’s uphill! Dragging a large suitcase up the hill was slightly difficult as I’m not as young as I used to be. My lovely upgraded room was on the 3rd floor, which again was a bit of a struggle with a large suitcase. In saying this, I managed.
The property is more like a hotel than a B and B. I was lucky enough to be upgraded to a large room although I only booked a single. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Breakfast had a good choice of hot and cold dishes. The dining room overlooked the well kept garden. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is a short walk into the CBD. A lovely place to stay.

That I couldn’t permanently move in!
We so enjoyed our stay at Gabriel House! We arrived very wet as we chose to walk in the rain from the train station which wasn’t one of our best decisions. However, when we arrived we were greeted by an absolutely wonderful person named Valerie. Even though we arrived in the morning and check-in wasn’t til the afternoon she showed us to our room. She also asked if she could dry our clothes and jackets for us. She then asked if we’d like coffee and tea to warm up. While sitting there she also offered us some amazing homemade shortbread. She went completely out of her way to bring a major ray of sunshine to our very wet rainy day. When I inquired about the possibilities of getting a room with a view of the city Valerie made it happen. She moved our luggage for us while we were out. Once again she went out of her way to make our stay absolutely wonderful. Once we were dried off and ready to move about for the day. Valerie had come back to see what our plans were. We told her we planned to hang at a brewery for a while til the rain cleared. She then offered to personally drop us off at the pub we were going to as she was headed out. The breakfast in the morning is absolutely wonderful and comes with another delightful lady. Gabriel House can really boast about having premier serviced for the people lucky enough to make the choice to stay with them. I’ll definitely be back and I highly recommend that you do as well!
