"The hotel is beautiful and in a great location. It was very warm in the room. But, my biggest concern was that our bathroom window was on the fire scape and did not close or latch. Someone could have walked right into the room."

"Cet hôtel fut une belle trouvaille pour notre famille. Voyageant avec 3 jeunes enfants, nous avons apprécié l’espace que la chambre nous procurait. Les installations étaient superbes et bien aménagées. La ville de Cork n’était pas trop loin rendant les déplacements courts. Nous recommandons définitivement cet établissement à d’autres voyageurs."

Cork International Hotel

Cork International Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Although this hotel is near the airport and not the city center, we used the public bus both ways to the city center and it was very easy. The front desk staff can give you information about the bus. Taking the shuttle to the airport is very easy - just tell the lobby desk what time you'd like to leave and they will arrange it. The shuttle typically leaves every half hour. Food in The New Yorker was very good."

"Staff the service and the hotel was excellent. We did have breakfast so I am not sure about that however their pool is also a community pool which made us not even to go and use it. When we checked it out it was packed with people. Also they close the pool very early specifically on weekends."

Clayton Hotel Cork City

Clayton Hotel Cork City

8/10 Good
"The room was very spacious and felt premium. However, one of the curtains was damaged, and there was a large stain on the carpet. Though this was only minor as they were only slight cosmetic issues. The biggest issue was the air-conditioning as it barely even worked. We actually found it was more cooling to open the window. If you’re booking because their air conditioning I recommend you book elsewhere. Overall, it was really nice, and the restaurant was also great, I recommend you get the chocolate orange pudding. Also, remember to bring a swim cap as they require it at the pool. They do have swim caps for purchase for €4 if you don’t pack one as well."
