We stayed here for three nights in May 2013, in one of the superior rooms on the 5th floor, this also gave us access to the executive room where there was complementary hot/cold drinks, fruit, scones, cakes and biscuits etc., throughout the day. The bedroom was spacious and very clean and had both power shower and a bath, the bed... More

At check in - we were offered warm towels and a quick explanation of what was available... More

Great new hotel, nice location with river view. Big clean rooms, good food. I'm staying right now for business, and only have one minor complaint. The hotel seem to have 4-8 rooms without a view. And even though I'm staying for five nights, and I'm a platinum member of their loyalty program, with allready 22 nights this year, they chose... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here in January and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located a 10 minute walk from the City Centre. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable.

The food in this hotel is just fabulous and every time very well presented and very tasty. Have been there a few times and all of their staff are trained to very high standards and they all seem to love their job. Definitely the best place for first class food in Cork City….

Great location to UCC for families visiting their study-abroad student. The campus is a 5-minute walk from the hotel. The city center is only 5-10 minutes away....walking distance as well. The hotel is very nice. I loved the fact that each floor had a corner glass view overlooking the city of Cork. The staff was always friendly and helpful. Breakfast... More

From start to finish I had a very pleasant stay. Checked in by a very friendly staff member (from Mayo) who informed me of all the ins and outs of the hotel. The room on the executive floor was ideal. Amenities such as the business lounge were much appreciated. Parking was grand too and the hotel is within walking distance... More

From the minute we arrived ( warm face towels offered at reception ) until the minute we left ( free bottles of water offered for the journey) we found The River Lee to be an exceptional four star hotel. The friendliness and welcome we received at check in was superb and we really felt that the staff cared about us.... More
