Great 3 days at this property! The main entrance was under construction during our stay but it didn't bother us at all. The rooms have all been updated, they were very clean, all 4 adults were comfortable and felt safe. The breakfast is plentiful. The hotel is within walking distance to downtown Cork. There is very limited parking in front of the hotel, we dropped off our luggage at the hotel, parked in a downtown parking garage and walked the 10 minutes back. The only caution is that the hotel is on a hill. If you have anyone with mobility issues, this could pose a problem with the amount of walking uphill.

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.
