The hotel is on the margin of the center city. For a business person it could be ideal. For travelers and tourists, it is less appealing. The city center is a 15 minute walk down hill, and a 10 minute bus ride back (unless you enjoy hill climbing). The building speaks of its history, but it is a little seedy... More

This hotel in Cork city is perched high up on a hill just outside the city centre. The problem most people have is that it is just that.. No problem walking down, but if you are of my age and condition (no, I am not telling you) then get a local transport bus for a few cent or a taxi... More

After 11 hours of flying to get to Cork we showed up mid morning before check in and were accommodated with an early check in. The room was great, but the decor was dated. It was very clean. The breakfast was very good and worth going to. Being able to pick and choose items from a full Irish breakfast was... More

The hotel was very nice but located high up on a hill which was quite a climb everytime you went out.

We spent a weekend at this hotel and we had a really lovely time. It was a family occasion and the hotel staff made us all feel really welcome and comfortable. They dealt with all the various requirements of the elderly and /or infirm in our group in a really pleasant way. Wonderful view over the city. A great weekend.

4 night stay. We arrived at 11.45 p.m and (eventually - the lift/room numbering system is chaotic) found the room cramped with possibly the smallest bathroom ever known to man: it was also rather tired looking (stains on the carpet and desk chair). The following morning we asked to change rooms and were given a large, bright room with a... More
