Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room and hotel itself were wonderful. Only wished they had a menu that was more accessible as we got to cork very late and no options were offered.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Although the lobby area appeared to have been upgraded, the remainder of the hotel needs a good cleaning. Carpets were dirty as was cloth furniture in room. Beds were comfortable, but with the other obvious lack of cleanliness, it was disconcerting.
We were surprised to be upgraded to a suite. It was very nice. Food was reasonably priced and we enjoyed it. Very pretty hotel. We recommend it to all.
We booked this hotel because it had a pool and whirlpool but we couldn't use them as they closed early on Sunday, also the service in the bar/restaurant was poor as we had to wait on everything, we the found the bed uncomfortable but overall hotel was clean
This was a deluxe stay! The restaurant and bar were great! And the property is lovely! The only downside is that it is quite a drive in to town and we couldn’t really walk anywhere.
I rarely write reviews but I wanted to mention the staff at this hotel. They were all so lovely, in all depts - reception, bar, gym and breakfast.
Food was great, room great, nothing negative!
