    delightful breakfast
    cozy bar
    friendly staff
    steep spa charge
    inconvenient parking

    The breakfast spread was absolutely delightful, filled with local goodies that made waking up an adventure. Plus, the bar upstairs was cozy, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring Cork. The staff's warmth in the lively atmosphere truly made us feel at home!

    Now, if we had to nitpick, the €20 charge per person per hour for the spa felt a bit steep. Considering we were already splurging on our stay, I'd think some perks could be complimentary.

    The chandeliers and festive decorations created a warm, inviting atmosphere that made me feel at home. The accessibility was commendable, and I appreciated the kind staff who were always willing to lend a helping hand.

    More seating in common areas would be appreciated.

    cramped room
    signs of wear
    high price

    The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. However, my room was a bit cramped and showed some signs of wear, which was disappointing for the price point. Despite these issues, I enjoyed the delicious food in the bar and appreciated the charming atmosphere.

    The breakfast was absolutely delightful, with a variety of fresh options.

    The parking situation was inconvenient and required a bit of a trek in the rain.

    elegant decor
    family-friendly atmosphere
    lack of children's activities

    We enjoyed every moment during our stay with the little ones. The elegant decor made it feel special, and my kids loved the family-friendly atmosphere. The wedding-like ambiance reminded me of a beautiful event I attended here, perfectly executed and charming.

    My children wished there were more activities available for kids. A dedicated play area would make it easier for families like ours to relax while keeping the kids entertained.

    noisy environment
    limited amenities
    average food variety

    The staff provided exceptional service, with friendly and helpful reception and bar staff.

    classic twin room
    spa services
    parking difficulty

    We had a fantastic night in a Classic Twin Room and loved hanging out in the Cedric Douglas lounge — it really had a special vibe! After a day of exploring, we enjoyed relaxing body wraps and full body massages at the spa, which were so soothing. Just a heads up, parking was a bit tricky when we arrived but overall, this place made our stay memorable! 😊

    spacious wet room
    impressive breakfast
    outdated bathroom

    The wet room offered in our premium double/twin room provided a spacious, modern feel that added comfort to our stay. The breakfast spread impressed us with a variety of options, making the mornings a delight before we explored the area.

    Unfortunately, the bathroom setup could use an upgrade—having a bathtub within the shower box felt outdated and cramped. We dealt with a distracting bright green light from outside that seeped in through the curtains at night, making it tricky to get a good sleep. Additionally, dinner service ended promptly at 9 PM, which left us scrambling for options later in the evening if we wanted to eat. Noise from the street also crept in during the early morning hours, disrupting our sleep quality during our stay.

    comfortable bed
    nice decor
    spacious room
    shower over bath
    mobility issues

    The room was pretty comfy and clean, but it had a shower over the bath, which wasn't ideal, especially traveling with someone who has mobility issues. The decor was nice and gave that classic vibe, but a step-free shower would have made a big difference. Overall, it felt spacious enough, but just a few tweaks could make it much better for everyone.
