Wonderful experience. Would stay here again!

This is an old hotel that is being updated. My room was completely modern as was the bath. Both the room and bath had opening windows! The location is great, about 7 minutes walk from the train station, 5 minutes to the bus station and 5-10 minutes to the city center. The only glitch I encountered was when I tried to take the stairs instead of the one elevator - that's when I discovered that not all of the hotel has been renovated yet. The pathway to use the stairs was a bit disjointed and involved two different sets of stairs that seemed to be from two different eras.

Room was well appointed wit excellent electrical appliances i.e hairdryer and fan.The only disappointment was the shower poor temperature and access safety points handle in shower could be better placed room 11

We stayed in an apartment. It was very spacious and had a washer/dryer, which was great… after we figured it out! We enjoyed the terrace for drinks and appr and had breakfast twice. All enjoyable. We didn’t use any of the spa /gym facilities, as we were there to see Cork and the surrounding region. Walking down to the center was doable… but we used the taxi to go back up that hill after walking all day in the places we visited. Cork was a great place to use as a base, we traveled to Cobh, Middleton, Mogeely and Kinsalefrom Cork Center.
