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

United States of America

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

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.

Taylor

The room was nice and the bed was king size. Friendly staff

Oh what a treat! We were upgraded to a 1BR apartment and had the best time ever at this hotel. Everything was great, the kitchen had all the things needed, we felt like a VIP in this home away from home. Thank you for this experience!

It was noisy at night, people shouting etc. I did not feel it was safe, the front door was open every time I passed it. There was a smell of hash at the entrance/lobby, could’ve been someone walking by the property but was very strong and constant. I didn’t get the impression the other guests were tourists.
Room was clean and comfortable, staff were friendly.

“Affordable, basic clean accommodation, well located.”

Breakfast expectation was a full Continental, while in fact it was essentially some juice, pastries, bread, cupcakes and coffee. No fruit, cold meats or cheese. Owner did not really know the area sufficiently to recommend good dinner locations / options, which were in fact rather close by..
Real old world domestic style accommodation. free parking and walking distance from town and attractions. Curteous service.

I was in the bungalow and it was very noisy from the car park outside until well into 5:00 am, so I did not sleep. Also the electric meter in the room clicked quite loudly every three minutes or so. Very disappointed with the room, especially at that price.
The staff is nice.

The place was clean, but the facilities seemed like were not touched or renewed in the last 15 years. Also it was quite overpriced, and the breakfast was for an extra fee even(!)
The location was great. Not in the city centre, but still in walking distance.

“Not worth the money”

Bedsheets were awkward and uncomfortable, the room was under a hallway and all you could hear was people walking overhead all night and morning. There was a communal toilet beside the room also which led to the most unpleasant wake up call we've ever experienced. The staff were unhelpful and the owner seemed condescending.
