The building is very old and as such requires constant maintenance. This meant scaffolding by my room's windows and noisy work during my stay. The receptionists are not quite friendly, had to ask multiple times about in-room Internet being out-of-order.

They booked our room right above an event space. Was terribly noisy. Had to make a request for them to drop the partying and music, which all took time.

The hotel is beautiful, the staff kind, professional and accommodating. Our room was immaculate with super comfortable beds and linens. The breakfast and dinning area was so special with great attention to detail. From start to finish a delightful experience.

The property was perfectly located. We read many reviews about parking being an issue. The reason the parking is a few blocks away is because the area near the hotel becomes mostly pedestrian at night creating a great scene for vacationers. There is a loading zone directly in front the hotel so you don’t have to lug your luggage. The bar was excellent with live music. This is a luxury hotel and would stay again on our next trip to Cork.

Our room was small. The sheets and wall was dirty. The fuse blew the first night so we had no electricity the first night. The staff did repair the problem quickly once reported. We also had tea at the hotel which was very disappointing. The cost was 45 per people and there were no choices. One server was vacuuming the floors during our tea service.
