"Amazing! We had 2 nights here and used The Kingston as our pamper day after a couple weeks travelling around Ireland. The Spa experience is a must ... fabulous! Room, restaurant, the hotel were all great. It's right on the river so I used a complimentary pushbike and did a river ride. Fully recommend!"

Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"The room was very spacious and felt premium. However, one of the curtains was damaged, and there was a large stain on the carpet. Though this was only minor as they were only slight cosmetic issues. The biggest issue was the air-conditioning as it barely even worked. We actually found it was more cooling to open the window. If you’re booking because their air conditioning I recommend you book elsewhere. Overall, it was really nice, and the restaurant was also great, I recommend you get the chocolate orange pudding. Also, remember to bring a swim cap as they require it at the pool. They do have swim caps for purchase for €4 if you don’t pack one as well."
