Room was clean but completely empty. No bathroom essentials (shampoo conditioner body wash) no garbage bags. Location was good for resteraunts and bars close by
This is in a brilliant location for food and bars and sightseeing. Hardest part was actually finding the room once checked in !
It’s a quiet complex in the week but you defo see a change at the weekend. All doors are fire doors which is good - but also means in your apartment as soon as someone is up all are awake with the constant door banging. That said I will return as far more positives
In a very loud part of town. So very convenient if you want to party but I don’t recommend if you want a good night’s sleep. No AC. Probably better for younger folk.
This is not a hotel. This is a dorm suite turned into rooms to rent for the summer. Please be aware of the scam! The quality was appalling and the service is not existence. You clean your own room and only get one set of towels no matter the length of stay. The staff couldn’t possibly be bothered with helping or explaining anything to you.

The day I left, the only elevator was out of order.
I had to carry my luggage to the ground floor.
Glad I was checking out and not checking in and walk to the fifth floor!
it's student accommodation, allow for that, there aren't any provisions in the room. no tv, toiletries, aircon etc so go prepared. location is great, there's a Tesco underneath for any bits you need. staff are friendly and helpful. there are a couple of pubs over the road that serve late and get boisterous, would recommend taking earplugs. Great for a bed for then night or a base for exploring cork

Mattress was the worst ive ever slept in. Springs coming up through, so uncomfortable. Typical student accommodation but no excuse for not replacing mattresses.
