Staff very nice and welcoming. They created a lovely atmosphere. I was taken back by how clean and fresh the place was, you had everything you needed. Price very was reasonable for what you're getting and especially the location! I don't usually leave reviews but this place really deserves it.

Great place, friendly helpful staff and clean rooms.

The location was a short walk to the center of town. We didn’t have much time to explore on this trip so would stay again on a return trip. Easy access to the airport from this location as well!

Diane

United States of America

Very nice and attentive staff. Each person I interacted with was warm, welcoming and efficient. The room was immaculate and there was a full kitchen which was such a surprise. I wish I could have stayed longer!

Natalie

Friendly staff, clean accommodation, easy parking.

Krish

United States of America

This property is acquiring additional guesthouses next door, and we were happy to be placed into a full kitchen apartment. Our top floor accommodations gave us a view of the park across the road and the city skyline.

Mary

United States of America

Big, clean room (other than carpet). Huge tub. Lots of outlets. Helpful, pleasant staff. Walking distance to city center and college. Safe parking. Safe area.

Gloria

United States of America

Everyone and everything was wonderfull - from the elegant room to the delicious breakfast and beautiful hosts. The convenience to shops, local attractions, and highly rated delicious restaurants was over the top! We had the time of our lives and will return as soon as we are able to arrange it.

Elizabeth

United States of America

Friendly staff; they let us leave our bags for the day when we arrived early. They upgraded our room to one with a nice view and a kitchenette. Wish we would've stayed longer! While it's a bit of a walk from the city center, University College Cork has a beautiful campus, we'd definitely recommend walking around.

“Crap. Avoid.”

Poor value for money! Much better accomodation in that area for the same price point, and breakfast not included. Room was cold. Decor was non-existant. Continuous high pitched noise when I was shown may room. Manager informed it was pressure in the tap, run the tap for a minute and it stops. So awake all night with the noise, out of bed to run the tap, then would start again an hour or two later. Its a known issue, its ridiculous that they would rent a room like that! Went to check out and complain, no-one at reception. Awful service.

The room exceeded my expectations. It had a modern refurbished aesthetic and included a kitchenette for self-catering. Unfortunately I only stayed one night are had no need to avail of the kitchenette, however during a longer stay, this would be a boon to have and at a very competitive pricing. The staff were pleasant and homely and made you feel most welcome.

“Bit disappointing.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Stayed 3 nights
The coffee sachets and milk tubs were not replaced after the first night and we ran out. On the coldest day of our stay the windows were left open (possibly by cleaning staff in the morning? Definitely not by us.) till we got back that night at 11pm. It was near freezing outside that day - and also inside because of that. The on-the-wall heater couldn't warm the place up adequately. The TV was directly above the sofa, so couldn't watch from there, only from the bed.
We booked a double room but we got an "apartment", which meant more space (bonus) and a bit of a kitchen. We hadn't expected that though, so weren't prepared and didn't use it. Good, comfortable bed, very nice.

Should provide WiFi code at check in. TV is from the 1950’s, there’s plenty space for a larger wide screen TV. Electricity problems in the morning, so couldn’t have a coffee or charge up my devices. Very inconvenient.
