The staff were fabulous, friendly, professional, respectful and just a joy to deal with - every single person encountered. The cleanliness of the hotel was impeccable, and the measures put in place regarding Covid19 were very evident and much appreciated. I love staying at this beautiful hotel, and always choose it for my Cork city visits.
IrelandThe hotel is just brilliant! Excellent value for money, rooms beautifully decorated and the food is fairly priced and delicious. The main thing to stand out about this hotel are the friendly and engaging staff through our stay who were more than happy to help with any requests and made friendly conversation and offered good insight into the surrounding areas. I will be staying again as soon as I have time but I highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering visiting Cork!
IrelandExcellent location and super friendly and helpful staff
United KingdomFrom the moment we arrived the hotel exceeded our expectations. All staff are welcoming, attentive, a pleasure to deal with, and went out of their way to accommodate any requests we had. Strict Covid-19 safety measures were in place at the hotel without impacting on the pleasure or experience of our stay. Rooms were beautifully decorated and the comfortable beds ensured a sound nights sleep. Dinner in Thyme restaurant was exceptional from start to finish. The hotel is superbly located in the heart of Cork city near all major restaurants, bars, shops, and attractions. I look forward to staying at this hotel again and would recommend it to all friends and family.
