This hotel is in a really great spot in Cork. It is very short walking distance to a few great pubs, coffee shops, bodegas, but it also only about a 10-15 minute walk from the main areas of Cork. Hotel staff were friendly and informative. The hotel actually has a touch screen in the lobby that tells you what is going on at various establishments (museums, theaters, pubs) for each day of the week, and also how far and how to get to each place. Parking is admittedly slim, but if you’re on foot it’s not a concern. I would refer to reviews where parking recommendations are made, if you plan on driving. The gym facilities are also very nice.
