the best hotel on my Ireland trip. friendly staff, clean comfortable room, dining options, good bar and walkable to downtown Cork. One drawback was the car parking. Awkward and congested. Plus the extra fee.
Such a welcoming place in a perfect location. Every single member of staff were so helpful, friendly and accommodating. Welcoming reception, everywhere spotless and fabulous rooms. I felt so comfortable and at home the entire stay, spa awesome too. River Club fab food.
Was very surprised with how good this Hotel was. Very good facilities, staff were very good, rooms were exceptional. Close to the main centre an easy to walk around
