I appreciated the history of the hotel and even the cemetery in the back. The manager was very friendly and provided us with background information about the hotel. However, the elevator was slow, and the parking was tight. We ended up parking at another location, but we had to pay each time we wanted to retrieve our car. The hotel was within walking distance to Shandon Bells & Tower at St. Anne's Church, and it was an easy walk across the bridge to downtown.

We booked this because of location and the pool. The pool was closed when we arrived and there had been no notice of a closure so we didn’t have the opportunity to change our booking. We were told to use it in the morning. In the morning they told us to come back because it was busy and we didn’t have a reservation. No mention of needing a reservation was mentioned the night before. Also, they don’t do laundry on weekends. This was one of our hotel stays and we really needed that service, again no heads up. We went out to breakfast and upon return, our keys didn’t work. Usually with all these kinds of interruptions to service the host is very gracious and accommodating, not here. Too bad, because it could be a nice place to stay. The bell tower was lovely, and it was a nice neighborhood to walk and dine.

Loud & pretty dirty

The doors to the rooms slammed loud and hard. Every time a guest closed a door it was so loud that it woke me up. It was also the dirtiest hotel we stayed at in Ireland. Thankfully, we brought our own Clorox disinfecting wipes and cleaned the place. The front desk staff were ok. The carpets in the place were disgusting. Stains on stains. I would not stay here again.

Good stay, could be improved

Great location and good clean hotel in general. Pool was ok but you need a swim cap and padlock for the locker. We had no heating or hot water in 324.

Long story, short- right after we checked in, my husband and I went on a ghost tour. Turns out the hotel was the original Cork hospital starting in 1720!
