Faulty alarm
Stay was fine. Parking lot very small and tight. Alarm went off at 1 am 3 times causing kids/baby to wake up. Hotel did nothing for inconvenience.

Very friendly staff and very accommodating with our needs. However, the water only got warm in the shower. The executive suite was two beds pushed together too, not an actual King sized bed. The breakfast was good and overall, it was a good hotel. But the hot water needs figured out.

Great location but it's a shame about the parking. I booked this hotel with the one purpose of having onsite parking to leave early in the morning for a flight. The hotel has very limited parking options onsite or around the hotel. To make up for this there is a parkade down the way, however, staff don't seem to be trained on how to offer the discount tickets/process them properly. The room was clean and comfortable. Great location.

Historical but HOT in Summertime
The main issue with this room was how extremely hot it was in there. Even with the window open (the 1-2 inches allowed) it was still boiling in there. We literally left the door to the room into the hall open in the evenings just to help with the heat. Outside was in the mid to high 60s. We live in Seattle and are used to no AC but the lack of fresh air from the window was tough. They left a fan in our room and nice snacks, which was lovely. It is close to a lot, easy walk to the main part of the city. If you don’t score a parking lot spot, you will have to park on the street or in a garage down the road and move by 8 or 8:30 am. We didn’t have the breakfast but the staff allowed me to pop in and grab a coffee each day which I really appreciated. Our sink was clogged and it did take two days to unclog but they did eventually get it taken care of. The history of the hotel was pretty cool, the idea that this hotel was a hospital back in 1720 and is literally older than my country was fascinating.

Warning for the warmer months…
The staff was friendly, the bed was comfortable, the hotel was fairly quiet, but unfortunately that was all overshadowed by how unpleasantly hot the room was. It wasn’t particularly warm outside (18-20 C), but the room was SO much hotter and stifling. No air-conditioning, the window didn’t open and there was zero air circulation. There was one (very necessary) desk fan in the room, but unless you stood in front of it the entire time you were in the room, it did nothing to combat the heat. It might not be an issue in the winter, but it was terrible in July.

My wife and I spent time in Cork and enjoyed this facility. The staff were really nice. We are able to access all the key downtown areas of cork quickly and there is even a hopper on hop off bus stop at the top of the hill, which was really a worthwhile investment as well. We would certainly stay there again.

Lovely hotel
We had a very spacious comfortable, clean family room. Great staff. ( the only negative comment would be that they charge a manidotory 3 euro charge for a bathing cap if you want to use the pool)
