There for 4 nights big room with very very comfortable beds, we were in the house across the road from the main building and therefore had use of kitchen and sitting room. Would stay there again
Great place to stay. Clean, neat, parking, easy access. Lots of places to eat nearby

Breakfast has got even better, just superb. Staff really nice and great location. Only gripe was that I could not find RTE2 on telly to watch match - but that might be my fault!
They were incredibly welcoming, very cordial, and gave great recommendations on where to eat in Cork. It's located right across from UCC which has a beautiful and scenic campus, and is within a 10-15 minute walk of everything you need in the main part of the city, but just enough outside to miss any city noise.
The scones they give for the introductory tea and at breakfast were honestly so delicious! The bed was wonderfully comfortable, and as a king size that was two singles pushed together (which is common practice, so that's not a downside) it was barely noticeable because they used a high quality mattress topper.
The only downside is the bathroom which was very little, but still we had a wonderful stay. Be mindful that when you book through third party websites like this that the breakfasts aren't included at will cost an extra €14 each if you choose to avail of it (but do because it's really something else).
Staff were very nice. When we arrived they gave us tea coffee and biscuits. Very clean. Good location next to the university. Parking. With room breakfast was amazing. Would definately stay there again.
room was noisy due to a water tank gurgling loudly all night. Teapot contained previous guests cold tea. No replenishment of teabags when room was serviced. Decent size room with comfy bed.
Everything was great. Beds were comfortable, rooms were super clean, the shower had good pressure, breakfast was amazing, great service overall. They provided welcome tea and scones upon arrival.
Garnish House is a lovely little B & B. Reasonably priced located within walking distance of the city centre. The staff were efficient and friendly. I would have no reservations in recommending Harnish House for accommodation in Cork City.

Good location, clean and friendly.
First, the good:
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Also, the location is really good, just next to the Fitzgerald Park and UCC. The hotel was clean and pleasant, and the bed in my room was big and comfortable.
However:
I stayed in a single room. These are usually fairly small, but that room was surprisingly tight. There was barely any room to move around, or even to sit next to the small table. In the shower, there was a constant smell of bleach that didn't go away.
Absolutely wonderful! I simply can't rate this place highly enough! On arrival, guests are shown to the dining room and presented with a sumptuous afternoon tea selection of home baked goodies, jams and a pot of tea - amazing!
The duty manager who greeted me was extremely welcoming and helpful, taking my bags to my room and explaining details.
My room, though small, was delightful, spotlessly clean, quiet and very comfortable. My request for a lower floor room - I
have limited mobility - was happily granted.
Whilst staying at Garnish House, my sore throat and cold developed into a sinus infection and bronchitis so I wasn't able to go sightseeing. However, my lovely room was a welcome retreat. Late checkout of 12pm (standard policy at Garnish House) was a lifesaver for me meaning that I could rest in bed until catching a taxi to my coach. When I did finally surface to say goodbye, a dear lady (I think she was the owner) greeted me and said just to sit in the lounge to wait for my taxi and she'd get a cup of tea for me. Bless her, not just a cup of tea but a whole pot together with scones, butter and jam!!!
In every aspect - service above and beyond the norm, room condition, staff, value for money and location (very handy to town) Garnish House Guest House excels.
I certainly wouldn't consider staying anywher else if I 'm fortunate enough to revisit Cork in the future and I highly recommend it to all travelers.
We stayed for a short weekend break. The service as impeccable. The room was on the small side, but suited our needs for the short stay. The walls with the adjoining room were a little thin, and later in the evening we could hear the room neighbours.
I love this place. ome here every year. It's what it is - friendly, welcoming, all the essentials - and best breakfasts ever - = the rooms are slightly small and the bathroom fittings can be eccentric - the central heating is also a bit iffy and the views are grim BUT I'd rather stay here than the posh place down the road.
Beaucoup d effort de communication ! Reception efficace et tres sympa ! Des fleurs fraiches dans les escaliers ! De la luminosite du comfort !

Paid a lot for this room-not worth the price. The guest house is nice and loved the welcoming tea HOWEVER the in room whirlpool didn't work and bathroom, though large was a bit run down. Did get some great dining recommendations from host. If you can get a reasonable rate I would recommend it but it is overpriced for sure.

A relação qualidade preço não é a melhor.
O quarto tinha todas as comodidades mas era bastante pequeno para o preço pago. O chuveiro elétrico era dificil de controlar a temperatura da água.
A localização da Guesthouse é boa assim como a internet.
