Good hotel but tiny room.
Hotel was of a good standard but the room was tiny. Bed was pushed into a corner, with very little space around it. Overpriced for a room of that size. They called it a 'cosy' room!

Excellent place to stay close to lots of places to eat. Walking distance to downtown area for more dining options and good shopping. Staff very helpful & friendly particularly at check in. Concierge very helpful and gave us some good recommendations of what to do on our day trip to the Kinsale area. In warm weather make sure to ask for fan as rooms get stuffy. Beds our comfy and quiet. Would stay here again if in Cork
