I've stayed at this hotel on a number of occasions for both business and pleasure, because of the great service that is provided here. The check in is very fast and efficient, the lobby is gorgeous! Even the lifts, and the fantastic hall ways are a joy as you go to your room. The rooms are very spacious, and comfortable.... More

I have been meaning to write a review of this hotel for a while.

We stayed here with our tour group May 11 - 12th, 2012. What a well run and well appointed hotel! The staff was attentive and professional. The hotel rooms were large and comfortable. They have a lovely restaurant and bar with outside seating. If I returned to Cork on my own I would choose to stay at the River Lee. More

Spent two nights here in a Exec room on the 5th floor. Staff were polite, attentive, and friendly. and all were smartly dressed. Room was clean and spacious with a door size window although our view was completely spoilt by a solid wall about 1m from the window blocking any view of pretty much anywhere. The room was well equipped... More

A little outside the main town centre but still not far. Close to the university. Staff training was first class - they could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Very good value More

This is a great hotel. Pretty modern and very nice. It's within walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops and right along a river. We stayed for just 1 night on our roadtrip through Ireland and if you're going to Cork - this is the place to stay. They have a parking garage to park your car and the rooms... More
