Top Cobh Hotel Reviews

WatersEdge Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely very large clean room and bathroom was a decent size too. Staff was courteous. Location was great, loved being on the water and our view looked into the harbor. Cons: only basic cable and wifi didn't work in our room at all, mentioned to staff who said it goes in and out, but it never worked on either of our phones."

The River Lee Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A superb hotel within 10 mins walk of Cork city centre. The hotel is newly refurbished and to a very high standard. The staff were all very helpful and welcoming. I'd recommend staying here 100? Easy on site parking too."

Robin Hill House

10/10 Excellent

"It is a lovely traditional Irish guest house. full of character with helpful staff Also very clean with everything you need. Breakfast was lovely with lots of choice nothing was too much trouble . Parking was very easy plenty of space and very secure."

Leonardo Hotel Cork

8/10 Good

"Warm night in a warm room."

Maldron Hotel Shandon Cork

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were very accommodating with all of our needs, friendly and approachable. The room was exactly what we needed for 3 people and the cleaners kept on top of it for us. Variety of choices for breakfast, actually spoilt for choice and certainly filled us for the day! Location was spot on. Would definitely stay here again"

Imperial Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location."

Commodore Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had a very pleasant short break and found my room (double for single occupancy) comfortable. Furnishings were dated but functional. Good shower plenty of hot water. Having a first floor room meant heavy footsteps and creaky floorboards above had to be endured. Due to hot weather my windows were open at night. Seagulls and traffic don’t bother me however early morning ladder rattling for window cleaning was unnecessary and disregarding of their guests. Despite that beautiful harbour views and good breakfast (soda bread especially) made up for the few niggles."

Isaacs Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property and friendly staff "

Clayton Hotel Cork City

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were clean and well maintained. Walking distance from the train and into downtown."
