Isaacs Hotel Cork City

Isaacs Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"Staff were some of the friendliest we have encountered in our travels through Ireland. There is a couple restaurants and bars attached to the hotel which is convenient, and very pretty. Over cleanliness could improve, also not very sound proof as you could hear lots of doors shutting and hair dryer kept dying out, but stay was overall good."
