Back Strand

Beautiful hotel and room, only downside was the main lift was out of order had to use the service lift which was very dirty

It was a convenient location for our trip purpose Staff were very friendly.

The standard double room was small but well appointed for a 2-night stay. Hotel is really nicely done with a lovely bar/lobby area and a really nice 'rooftop' bar restaurant with views over the city. We had drinks at both bars and they had nice alcohol free cocktail and wine options which this pregnant lady appreciated. Didn't eat there. It's in the business district so not the buzziest part of town but that means it's nice and quiet and only a short walk into the town centre for bars and restaurants. Also convenient for the Marina Market food hall. Handily located for the train/bus station if travelling from the airport on public transport and taking a day trip to Cobh, Hertz car rental is also on the doorstep which was great for us as we then spent 2 days driving along the west coast and back.
