Stayed at the hotel for a week. On arrival check in went very smoothly with a friendly reception member. Unfortunately on check in we were told that the pool and leisure facilities were closed due to an unforeseen maintenance issue, we had not received any information prior to check in , during our stay we were told several times the pool would reopen soon, other guests had informed us is was in fact open 2 days before we were told, which was 2 days before our departure! They charge €3 for a swimming cap, which I would have happily paid for a week’s stay. The room an executive king and was on the 5th floor, on opening the door we were greeted with a boiling hot room, all be it very clean and spacious . The air con wasn’t working so spent a rather uncomfortable night , although we had windows and a patio door we couldn’t open then due to the outside noise. Having complained to reception we were informed that we could either down grade to a standard room or wait until the following day for another room the same as the one we had booked, we chose the latter option, we were given 2 rather noisy fans which only seemed to blow the warm air around the room so yet another uncomfortable nights sleep. We were eventually given an upgrade to a beautiful suite on the 6 th floor. The room was amazing , lots of space and on entering was spotlessly clean. The only downside I can honestly say was the housekeeping , or lack of it ! The room was not vacuumed until we asked for it to be done , we asked for extra tea this was not given until we tracked a team member down. It seemed that the staff were in and out as quickly as possible , not acceptable for a 4 star hotel . The bedding was not changed during our stay, unusual as it’s normally done mid stay. Breakfast had a varied menu and was delicious, evening meals we would not recommend , overcooked and overpriced , with very limited choice. Although other reviews state about homelessness , prostitution and drugs we were river side so saw and heard nothing. Some issues need addressing but we would definitely return and recommend this hotel but make sure you get a riverside view.

“A decent hotel, warm and comfortable ”

Nice hotel, comfortable stay, and delicious breakfast. This place is right in the centre of everything which makes it so convenient. This is our first stay in Cork, and we enjoyed our time here.

Nice hotel, comfortable stay, and delicious breakfast. This place is right in the centre of everything which makes it so convenient. This is our first stay in Cork, and we enjoyed our time here. Rooms were warm and beds comfortable, we was short on towels, but the reception staff brought more up. All round a nice place to stay the night. It would be nice if more toiletries were in the bathrooms, but the stuff supplied in the dispenser was decent enough for one night stays.

We arrived in the evening at the hotel. The hotel is located. downtown Cork and from the hotel everything is in walking distance. The hotel is a modern hotel but still older an even, so it's look like that they started the renovation there is still work to do. The part which are renovated is the lobby and the room we got. The room had a nice size, was clean. Nothing to complain, the staff at the lobby was friendly and professional. The gym/spa was under renovation – bad luck for me. So, the hotel is a good business style hotel, centrally located in Cork. It’s not a charming hotel or hotel you must remember, but it’s good for a day or two to examine what Cork has to offer.
