The hotel itself is nice although to use the pool they charge an extra $20. The breakfast at Lafayette was great and the service was good. The dinner at Thyme at 76 was very good but the staff was incredibly confused and not schooled to serve at a quality restaurant.
Could not fault this place one bit, the staff were amazing, the room was perfect and the location was ideal.

Can not fault The Imperial Hotel. We had an issue with our room which was dealt with immediately and we got an upgrade. Staff could not do enough for us. Would highly recommend to friends and family
Cork is a charming city and this hotel's location and historic nature added to our enjoyment of the city. The complimentary breakfast was appreciated and tasty. The staff were very considerate and helpful. While we didn't need it much, we appreciated that we had air conditioning. Most older properties don't have that amenity.
We had an amazing vacation staying at The Imperial! James Gunter provided excellent customer service and made our stay extra special! Thank you James!!!
James Gunter is a treasure. After a small complication with our separate reservations, he came up with a perfect, elegant solution. The customer care at the Imperial is second to none. We are so pleased with this property thus far. Additionally, both the Sketch bar and Thyme restaurant are well worth spending time in. We’ve eaten at both and enjoyed both meals and cocktails!
This hotel is beautiful. Plenty of plugs for electronics, comfortable beds, Check-in was easy. Dropped bags off and then had about an 8 minute walk from the parking garage, which the hotel gives discounted prices of $12.00 to park for 24 hours. Great experience.
