Beautiful historic hotel, oldest in Cork with lots of history. Rooms are very clean with plenty of room. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is served till 10.30am but the buffet was sparse when we went down at 10am. Nothing replenished with no cheese & meets at all. Cooked breakfast was very good.

Pros: bed was very comfortable and the room spacious. Cons: check in didn’t tell us about the complimentary coffee in the lobby and insisted we move the car right away to the remote car park. There were threadbare towels and the climate control was wonky. Should be much better for price point.
