Hotel The Metropole Hotel

Mac Curtain St, . Cork, Ireland –

*8.3* Cork City Hall: only 6 minutes away! (1,650 feet by foot)

Lock in a great price for The Metropole Hotel – rated 8.7 by recent guests!

to get started.

I loved my stay! The hotel staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Rosa at the front desk is a gem, I appreciated her help and recommendations! The breakfast buffet is outstanding, delicious poached eggs :) The hotel is at a perfect location, 5-10 minute walk to the city center, but there are several great pubs on the same block if you don't feel like walking. You can't go wrong choosing to stay at The Metropole!

Susie, United States of America

Elizabeth, Ireland

Location, staff, doorman very helpful, receptionist comped us partially for noise levels...unexpected but thoughtful. Nice remodeled rooms but small

Matthew, United States of America

This hotel is beautiful and full of charm. It was a little more than we normally would have spent on a room but its in a great location in an old building on a street with many nice restaurants. It is a quick 5-10minute walk to all the shops and it is located right next to the water. They staff is very helpful and friendly. The hotel and rooms have been recently updated and they are beautiful and classy. The breakfast in the morning was very nice and the dinning room had a view of the water. We did not use the pools but did see one of them and it looked well maintained. The bar was lovely and a great space to relax. They have an agreement with the parking lot just a few doors down. They do a reduced rate to park and will give you access to your car 24/7. I love this hotel.

Laura, United States of America

One of the twin showers didn't get hot, but it gave us a spa-like experience to stand in the hot shower and stick the legs under a cold shower. Our room had only one small window which was facing into a dark courtyard - made it quite dark, but it is an old building so it's okay.
The bed was fantastic, one of the most comfortable mattresses and pillows I've ever slept on. I liked the free apples and water dispensers in the lift areas, and in the room we had coffee and tea making facilities, but even a shoe cleaning set and a sewing kit! Unexpectedly, there was not only a normal shower in the room, but a twin shower / wet room with shower heads from the sides and top. Beautiful!

Getting the lift to your floor can be a long wait when hotel is busy - just the one lift which has to cater for everyone (to my understanding!)
Excellent room and very helpful and personable staff. Bed very comfortable!

The damn bedroom door took so long to close!
Great restaurant, service and 'brekkie' options! Great room and wonderful bathroom and amenities! Wonderful TV channels! Thumbs-up for the bar. Delicious sweets at reception. Top internet connectivity! Within walking distance from the train station. Bus station a block away. City centre close by (just across the river), with plenty of restaurants, shops and bars within walking distance. In fact, there are plenty of restaurants and bars on the doorstep of the hotel.

A well established Cork institution that has recently been upgraded with style and comfort! The location is excellent for the rail and bus stations and the heart of Cork is within a few minutes walk. The swimming pool/gym add another dimension but the most valuable asset is the friendly professional staff.
