to get started.

Location was ideal for our trip. A ten minute walk from both UCC and the city centre

Kathleen, Ireland

From the moment we walked in, after a transatlantic flight overnight and train ride, the staff was wonderful, anticipating our needs ahead of us! The room was large, overlooking the River Lee, with a built in window seat. Although a busy Friday night, we could have been the sole guests. This was a great start to a vacation.

James, United States of America

breakfast was lovely - restaurant has been done up since i was there last and it is fab! and i much prefer ordering breakfast than a buffet...

Bernie, Ireland

I was very happy with the location, walking distance to center city. The accommodations were excellent. The restaurants were very good and the staff was impeccable! I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Gina, United States of America

The hotel was nice, typical, and it seemed more for people traveling on business. Our stay was less than 24 hours. We wished we got to enjoy the pool/spa pictured but it was closed. We did enjoy having a cocktail outside with heaters and lounge chairs overlooking the river.

Mj, United States of America

Wonderful location. Plenty to walk to. Very well done rooms. Stayed in both a riverview room and also a triple room. The riverview room was lovely as expected, but even the triple room was quite spacious. Really lovely stay. Afternoon tea also a delight.

L, United States of America

It was in a great location- close to city center . Area was quiet and hotel was great value- staff professional and friendly

Amelia, United States of America

Bed was like a cloud! Executive lounge is such a bonus facility

Karl, Ireland

We loved the location, plus the person who cleaned our room was excellent and spoiled us during the week! We loved that they organized all of our things in the bathroom. We were so happy to come back to the room to see it in such good shape after sightseeing all day!

Jill, United States of America

The bed and pillows are very comfortable. The towels are of good quality too. They gave us a room with a nice view and since it was our anniversary, they gave us a plate with "Happy Anniversary" greetings on it plus chocolates. We were very delighted! We also enjoyed the jacuzzi, pool and sauna.

As mentioned above, the price is a bit steep, especially for breakfast. I went for the continental option because I would have liked sausages and rashers but didn't want a full Irish breakfast - a slightly more flexible option for this would be great. The continental was really good though.
Lovely breakfast, convenient location for UCC and the city centre, amazing views, and my friend and I were both given upgrades on arrival. The bottle of water on checkout is also a nice touch. It's occasionally a bit expensive, but worth it if you need someone nice to come back to after a long day.

we had booked without breakfast and when it came to leaving breakfast there was a bit of indecision about having credit card details for us at reception... my friend had actually pre-authorised at reception and when i arrived to check in afterwards i offered debit card details and i thought it was excellent that reception said ye will clearly be splitting the bill so hang on til the morning and i'll just note your details on file for now! great i thought good thinking... pity the breakfast crew weren't so relaxed... just thought the fuss could have been avoided... [only a small thing really i guess]
breakfast was lovely - restaurant has been done up since i was there last and it is fab! and i much prefer ordering breakfast than a buffet...

Breakfast at €22 per person was extortionate! 1 sausage, 1 bacon, 1 egg and no offer of substitutes for items not taken. Bill brought to our table before we’d even finished eating!
The staff on reception were lovely. Great location. Great sized tv in room
