Lock in a great price for Gabriel House Guesthouse – rated 8.9 by recent guests!

to get started.

This was one of our favorite places on our trip, and I think we stayed in 8 different hotels throughout the journey. Breakfast is amazing, the place was clean, and the room was nice, it even came with a phone with a data plan which was very useful as my roaming data decided not to work. Plus the building it was located in was nice.

Brandon, Finland

Beautiful facility with super friendly staff. Amazing breakfast too.

John, Canada

Very clean, nicely decorated place. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very good breakfast. Just a walk down the hill to some nice restaurants. Ample parking. Excellent value!

Andrea, Canada

Large parking lot in front of the hotel, so no need to worry about paying for parking. We stayed in a room all the way at the top. Very spacious with enough room for the three of us. It had a lovely view of the city. The lady at the front desk was very helpful and extremely nice. She gave us plenty of information on the best bars and restaurants. The breakfast the next morning was delicious with plenty of food to go around. The carrot cake was the best I have ever had.

Tom, Germany

The location is great for train station and bus. Also, great breakfast!

Todd, United States of America

The room was beautiful, much larger than I was expecting, and spotlessly clean!

Evangeline, Ireland

Good bed, good host, they were very helpful with my bike. Good location to pick up the train.Clean and powerfull shower

German, United Kingdom

I am not sure what I can possibly tell you about the place we stayed that will do it justice. The folks at Gabriel House Guesthouse are kind and attentive. Your comfort and great experience is their number one concern. Every single person, no matter their job, has been so kind. The food is amazing, the beds are comfortable and its proximity to city center is perfect. I would definitely stay here again!

Couldn't work out how to change room thermostat, but it wasn't enough of a problem to affect my comfort.

In my experience there is nothing to dislike about Gabriel House.
This was my second visit and I'll be returning next time I stay in Cork. The location is great, far enough from the City Centre to be quiet and relaxed but within comfortable walking distance of all the shops, pubs, theatres etc. It's also close to the train and bus stations. Free on-site parking is a bonus. You can just park up and explore Cork City and further afield by foot and on public transport. My room, the same one I stayed in previously was recently refurbished and was lovely with a view over the garden to the city. Gabriel House provide a great breakfast and its staff are so friendly, helpful and professional. I highly recommend a visit.

The place could do with a spruce, especially the decor in the rooms and the dining room. There’s a slightly unloved, impersonal feel to the place, making it feel a little expensive for the cost.
Staff very friendly and a lovely period property in a good location. A nice breakfast and great to have parking.
