Great staff, friendly and helpful. Breakfast was really nice. Room was alright, shower/tub had plenty of hot water with strong pressure. Room was actually hard to cool down, but did eventually with the open window and included fan. The only real issue was the construction around the hotel. Immediately behind, and also next door there are major construction sites that begin work early, so don’t plan on sleeping in. The huge crane right behind the hotel is brightly lit at night, so the room had some light coming in around the curtains. Not a big deal for us but if you need a pitch black room would be a problem. There is construction up and down the river in Cork, so there’s nothing the hotel can do about it. I would guess by summertime the construction would be done, but you may want to check. Cork is a really fun city, and almost everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a great location to walk to many of the city highlights.
